Dem-Libs Behaving Badly: Sweeney, Susman, Et al
In Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America, Ann Coulter draws direct parallels between the French revolutionists of the eighteenth century and twenty-first century American liberals. Our libs engage in comparable destruction, mindlessness, and disrespect for order and civility as did French mobs over 200 years ago.
We witnessed a prime example of such liberal behavior in Madison, Wisconsin when unionistas like the SEIU caused massive damage to the Capitol building to pressure Republican Governor Scott Walker into backtracking on his commitment to restore sanity to the Badger State’s finances. We saw it in the strong-arm tactics used to suppress legal town hall protests against Obamacare. It regularly occurs in vicious commentaries by the likes of MSNBC’s Ed Schultz.
(See previous posts on those behavioral gems.)
Those instances, however, pale in comparison to “official” Democrat liberal exhibitions of grossly disrespectful incivility and vile partisan insults. Dem-libs in positions of authority don’t usually tear up buildings or beat up lawful protestors or openly wish conservatives would kill themselves. They let their flunkies handle that end of the abuse spectrum but are very adept at a variety of other abuses.
American “progressives” from state houses to the State Department recently showed their true colors. Cases in point on the state level are New Jersey’s Democrat Senate President Stephen Sweeney and on an international level Ambassador to Great Britain Louis B. Susman.
Sen. Sweeney is disenchanted and upset with Jersey’s conservative Republican Governor Chris Christie over Christie’s perceived slights and state budget cuts, additions, and line item vetoes. Sweeney expressed his disenchantment and upsetment in no uncertain terms, including calling the governor a “bully and a punk,” adding, ”I wanted to punch him in his head.”
Not content with that nastiness and threat of violence, Sweeney drew upon his enviable grasp of popular culture and filmdom by comparing Christie to a well-known villain: “You know who he reminds me of? Mr. Potter from ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ the mean old bastard who screws everybody.” He later reiterated his vulgarity by calling the governor “a rotten bastard” and “a prick.”
Classy, Stephen, classy!
See videos and the slanted report on NJ.com which fails to mention the New Jersey fiscal abyss caused by Sweeney and his Democrats and with something less than objectivity observes, “The Republican Bobbleheads will side with the governor again, and the vetoes will stand,” here: http://bit.ly/md8qVu
The good news is that neither Sweeney nor NJ.com have yet proposed murdering Gov. Christie in his bathtub ala Jean-Paul Marat or trotting out the guillotine.
They never employed the guillotine in Great Britain although Brits did favor the oubliette but some people there might like to see one or both used, figuratively, of course, in the case of Ambassador Louis B. Susman. . .

Refreshing Governor Chris Christie
Refreshing Governor Chris Christie
Democrats-Liberals-Progressives, the leftist blogworld, and their MSM are positively aghast at the impertinence of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in not exposing his four kids to unnecessary danger, for his audacity in believing a Catholic religious education was important to their upbringing and development, and for advising a Jerseyite that his choice of that parochial-school environment was irrelevant to his role as governor.
Of course, bringing harm to the young Christies or questioning the governor’s right not to send his kids to Jersey public schools was not the intent of the Thursday video caller on PBS’s “On the Line” anymore than it is the intent of Dems-Libs-Progs.
“Gail” asked Christie, “You don’t send your children to public schools. You send them to private schools, so I was wondering why you think it’s fair to be cutting funding to public schools?” The apples and wartermelon query essentially sought to pin down Christie on his rights as a parent to seek the best education for his children versus his mandate as chief executive of New Jersey to restore fiscal sanity to the virtually bankrupt Garden State.
What Christie should have said in response to “Gail” was, “Are you a nitwit? What does one have to do with the other?” Instead, he politely said, among other things, ”It’s none of your business. I don’t ask you where you send your kids to school.” The other things included citing the $38,000 a year he and his wife pay in property taxes in Mendham to support public schools there while not burdening those schools with four more kids.
See a clip of the PBS exchange captured by NJ.com here: http://bit.ly/izWbtC
Reactions to Christie ranged from CBSNewYork.com which reported that Teaneck [NJ] “voters watched, listened and were appalled at the language coming out of the governor’s mouth,” far less appalling than that emanating from much of the blogosphere. Among many Christie accolades, others did seem very appalled.

Two Rebellious Republican Governors
Two Rebellious Republican Governors
Politicians are known to be many things among which is having an ingrained tendency to be, well, political in the diplomatic sense, not speaking their minds, not going out of their way to be overly honest by possibly offending people and certainly not insulting their constituents. It’s what makes them politicians.
It’s also what makes them phonies.
Therefore, when a pol departs from that norm and dumps the typical script in favor of straightforward, honest frankness, it’s refreshing.
On the eve of Martin Luther King Day 2011, newly-elected Republican Governor Paul LePage of Maine added just such a touch of refreshment when he announced in Sanford, ME to the displeasure of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People why he wouldn’t be attending the upcoming MLK festivities.
The governor, born into an impoverished, French-speaking Lewiston family of 18 kids who is a self-made man, said, “They are a special interest. End of story . . . and I’m not going to be held hostage by special interests.” He added when asked if this was part of a pattern, “Tell ‘em to kiss my butt. If they want to play the race card, come to dinner and my [adopted, black Jamaican] son will talk to them.”
Not attending MLK festivities? The NAACP a special interest playing the race card? Telling them to kiss his butt if they didn’t like it? What is this guy, anyway, an honest man or a politician?
The answer is obvious and his honesty should have been just as obvious since he didn’t pull any punches as a candidate, either. Then he had said that if he were elected governor, headlines would read, “Governor LePage tells Obama to go to hell.“ He later said he regretted his choice of words but stood behind their intent: http://tiny.cc/7j7ld
Another new Republican governor, Chris Christie of New Jersey, hasn’t yet taken on the president with such blunt language but give it time. What he has taken on during his brief, one-year tenure in Jersey is Obama’s most highly-favored groups, public service and especially teacher unions, whose benefits, salaries, and pensions are in process of bankrupting over half the states in America. . .

Meet Chris Christie, Dem Nightmare
Meet Chris Christie, Dem Nightmare
Forty eight year old Christopher James “Chris” Christie is the leftist Democrat Party’s worst nightmare since Sarah Louise Palin.
The 55th governor of New Jersey and the 11th governor of the state of Alaska have a great deal in common and therein lies the scabrous rub for Democrats: They’re both deep-dyed conservatives, both committed to their families and to the pre-born, and both are in the liberal crosshairs for the same reason, the left is scared excrement-less of them.
However, libs will find it considerably more challenging to take down Christie than it was for them to smear, slander, and ridicule Palin. Even their late night undesignated hatchet man, David Letterman, who still hardly misses a show without attacking Governor Palin–or former President G.W. Bush–in some way has yet to take on Governor Christie.
Lately, it’s been incessant ridicule of TLC’s highly-successful “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” which Letterman repetitively insists he won’t watch, just as he had repetitively said he wouldn’t read her best-selling book, Going Rogue, just as he now repeatedly says he won’t read Bush’s Decision Points.
Who really cares what you watch or don’t watch or read or don’t read, Dave, except for your sycophantic audience who are so enamored of your repetitive wit that they don’t realize how repetitious you and your writers are?
Chris Christie, whose very name and Roman Catholic religion rankles the left, is a whole other story for Letterman and his cronies, though. They can’t touch him or suggest he’s a dim bulb since he’s already proven that untrue and they won’t use that tactic even if he says he can see D.C. from his back porch in Mendham Township, N.J. . .

Chris Christie and the Baby Killers
Chris Christie and the Baby Killers
There is no joy in Abortionville today. The mighty PPFOA has struck out, at least in New Jersey.
The nation’s most industrious abortionists, those folks at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the folks who like to pretend they plan parenthhood for people but who actually excel at terminating possible parenthood, have been cut off by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
Christie terminated $7.5 million in public funding for PPFOA by his cash-strapped state, a move which irritated Planned Parenthood and Jersey senatorial Democrats so much that they spitefully reinstated payment of the taxpayer monies in a 30-10 vote, with help from a few Republicans. The governor promptly vetoed the measure and the Senate tried to override but the few Republicans refused to contradict their party’s governor and the effort failed.
The result: The Planned Parenthood of Southern New Jersey’s Cherry Hill abortion center was forced to shutter its doors, an action that was no doubt disappointing to the eager abortion purveyors of Cherry Hill. They at least could draw solace from the fact women would still be “serviced” by PP-SNJ facilities in Camden, Bellmawr, and Edgewater Park.
Christie’s veto followed an earlier veto in July of a bill intended to restore funding for family planning centers.
A number of questions arise from those two vetoes but first, a personal observation, a glum oservation.
Over the last half-century, aborting the pre-born has become a popular indoor sport in our sorry world with some 42 million abortions committed annually or approximately 115,000 per day, according to the Guttmacher Institute, the ”non-profit” research arm of Planned Parenthood.
Perhaps some, certainly not all, of our sorry world’s ills can be attributed to the planet’s growing disregard for human life . . .
