Why do rich liberals exhibit such flagrant hypocrisy?  Do they think we are not smart enough to see what frauds they are?

Washed-up 80s pop star Cyndi Lauper appeared at the Democratic National Convention in Denver yesterday.  She was shown saying something to the effect that this is a very important election or some other nonsense.  A few days ago Lauper was quoted in the St. Paul Pioneer Press saying the following:

President Bush brought the American people to a place where they expect change. Our polar ice caps are melting. Polar bears are dying. Who is going to take care of the water, the air? I lived through the Civil Rights movement. This is the most extraordinary election in my lifetime. But you have to make up your own mind. Know the friggin’ facts.

Interesting.  You see, Lauper has been touring rigorously this year, flying all over the country and perhaps even abroad.  Why?  To make money for herself, that’s why.  She cares so much about the environment, the melting polar ice caps and dying polar bears, all supposedly the result of global warming, does she?

Then why does Lauper cause so much pollution?  What is the carbon footprint of a pop star like Cyndi Lauper touring the country and performing in several different cities in a week, for a several month stretch?  How much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere to transport her, her band, and the equipment to the various concert venues?  How massive is the carbon footprint of the few thousand fans who travel to the auditorium to see her perform, not to mention the electricity used by the lighting and sound systems?

Cyndi Lauper is a typical liberal:  she is a total and complete fraud.  Even worse, she’s a rich limousine liberal.  She feigns concern for the environment to the point where she will tell others how they should live their lives, but she considers herself so high and mighty that she would never alter her lifestyle to combat global warming.  Instead, she’ll go on concert tour after concert tour so she can make lots of money and afford her lifestyle of wealth, luxury, and excess.  Economic inequality, anyone?

Ms. Lauper:  not all Americans are as dumb as you are.  Just because you sang some simple, bubble-headed pop songs twenty years ago with your biggest hits written by others does not mean you have the right to tell us how to live our lives.

About 100 low class liberals were arrested in Denver while protesting in the area for the Democratic National Convention.

Police used pepper spray on the malcontents who blocked traffic and rushed a police safety line while carrying rocks.

This is just one example of the kind of trash that liberals are.  How in the world can liberals possibly think that harassing and inconveniencing the general public, not to mention costing taxpayers millions to police them, is a good way of convincing people to embrace their positions?  Wouldn’t blocking traffic and harassing people just make people mad?  Absolutely.  But that is demonstrative of the mental disorder that is liberalism.

If you want to convince people that you hold the correct position on an issue, the best way to do that is to articulate it logically and let people decide for themselves.  Harassing and inconveniencing the citizenry is the wrong course of action.

Millions of hearts are aflutter as Barack Hussein Obama nears the announcement of his running mate.  Who will be Obama’a pick for Vice President?  My guess is Hillary Clinton.

Why Hillary?  Barack Obama is above everything else an egomaniac.  He will do or say anything to win.  It was reported the other day that a full 25% of Hillary supporters have not thrown their support behind Obama.  To win, he needs those votes.  So what better way to get those votes than to offer the VP slot to someone who trashed you mercilessly during the primary campaign?

We all know that Hillary Clinton has no dignity and no self respect.  Look at how she stood by her rapist husband all these years while he cheated on her time and time again.  It would not be beneath Hillary to accept the VP slot on the ticket of a relatively unknown newcomer like Barack Obama.  She has been treated like garbage by her husband for years and more recently by her party that tossed her aside.  She is as low as you can go.

Inside Edition reported yesterday that Barack Obama sneezed during several campaign appearances.

That’s right, the leftists in the media think so highly of Barack Obama that it is newsworthy when he sneezes.

Another Democrat fraud exposed!  Former Democratic Party presidential candidate and former Senator from North Carolina John Edwards has admitted to cheating on his wife Elizabeth.

Rumors have circulated for many months about Edwards’ affair with Rielle Hunter, a campaign videographer.  The National Enquirer originally broke the story of the affair, which Edwards vehemently denied numerous times.

Edwards lied repeatedly about his affair.  But we expect lies from Democrats because they are nothing but liars and frauds.  Edwards has finally admitted his true character to the world, as if we couldn’t tell his true character from his ambulance-chasing lawyer days.  He betrayed his loyal wife, and lied about it over and over again.

Both Edwards and Hunter deny that he is the father of her baby.  So why was he seen in the same hotel she was staying in recently?  Was Edwards stopping in for a quickie?  Perhaps like his buddy Bill Clinton, he desired the same kind of services that Monica Lewinsky provided?

Edwards, like all Democrats, is a fraud.  A total and complete fraud.  He is extremely wealthy and lives in a mansion while pretending to care about the poor.  He lives a lifestyle of wealth and luxury and has a huge carbon footprint.  But he never gives his own money away to help the poor he pretends to care about.

All the political commentators say that Edwards’ political career is over.  There is no chance of him being Barack Obama’s vice presidential pick now.

Aw, how sad…

Barack Hussein Obama appears to have made another flip-flop.  Before, he was vehemently opposed to offshore oil drilling (and drilling anywhere else, for that matter).  Now, he appears to have changed his tune.  Sort of…  It’s hard to tell with Barack Obama.  Because if he isn’t flip-flopping, he’s purposefully vague so as to avoid taking a real stand on an issue and angering his liberal base.

New York Times Article

But why would Obama change his position when one week ago he was opposed to offshore drilling?  Probably because polls indicate that a majority of Americans want more drilling.  And we all know how Democrats forumulate their positions not based on their core beliefs, but on polling data.

Frauds and liars, each and every one of those Democrats.

For years those on the left have been saying that there is no such thing as trickle down economics.  Under the theory of trickle down economics, what is good for the wealthy is good for the rest of us since the wealthy invest and spend money which in turn creates jobs and increases the wealth of the nation.

Sounds logical, right?  Not to the liberal left.  They’ve argued against trickle down economics for decades and its underpinnings which are the workings of the free market, instead insisting on more wealth redistribution.

I saw this article on Yahoo News about the wealthy crimping spending and investing due to uncertainties in the economy to the detriment of everyone else.  Yes, that’s right, when average Americans are harmed by less spending by the wealthy, trickle down economics is real.  The thesis of the article is that the wealthy are contributing to the economic hardships of everyone by not spending enough of their money.

Yahoo article

The rich are sharing your financial pain — and contributing to it.

It may have taken longer and it may not be as acute, but there are early hints that the economic slump is crimping the lifestyles of the wealthy.

They are investing more conservatively, spending less on luxury goods and are being more thrifty with their credit cards.

That news may produce a shrug from many people who have lost their jobs or homes in this economy. The problem is that when the wealthy get stingy, it trickles down to the rest of us.

The 10 percent of households with the highest incomes account for nearly a quarter of all spending…

So, is trickle down economics real?  Yes, but only in situations where the wealthy can be vilified and class envy exploited for political gain.  It’s real when it comes to harm being done to average Americans, but not real when there is any benefit.

Another thought: if a bad economy leaves the wealthy either with less money to spend or with less comfort in spending it, wouldn’t higher taxes do the same?  Yes it would.
