Fakes, Flakes, and Fluke: Today's Democratic Party

The more I recall the just-concluded DNC, the sadder I get. The Democratic Party was once one of the world's great political parties. It has a long, long history of accomplishments and failures; great men and total knaves; but always and throughout it all of playing a major role in the history of America and the world.  Like them or not, Presidents such as Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Harry Truman were great men with great ideas, and great goals.  Politicians such as Scoop Jackson, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan were deep thinkers and patriots. Today's Democratic Party, as revealed by the performance at the Charlotte DNC, would provide no end of shame to those men.

At the DNC we saw a steady procession of some of the dopiest people on the national scene.  I keep thinking about the truly idiotic Hollywood clowns that were paraded: the GOP's Clint Eastwood stands heads and shoulders above them all.

The DNC's Hollywood collection was a gathering of the stupidest of the stupid.

Eva Longoria? Who? Here we have a silly "actress," a highly mediocre one at that, who has no brains worth mentioning. She was recently in a movie "Greater Glory," which is about the 1920s uprising in Mexico against that government's efforts to impose atheism, and in interviews about the film made it clear she knew nothing about the struggle and compared it to "Occupy Wall Street." She is an idiot as further demonstrated by her speech at the DNC in which she said that the "Eva Longoria who worked flipping burgers at Wendy's needed a tax break, but the Eva Longoria who works on movie sets does not."  Wow! Ain't she generous? First of all, the gal working at Wendy's does not pay federal income tax; the lady working on movie sets is getting tax subsidies from many states and countries to encourage movie production and to compensate the studios for the high salaries they pay people such as Eva Longoria. She can always give more to the government any time she wants without forcing some small business owner to pay more taxes and thus be able to employ fewer burger flippers. By the way, what kind of car does she drive? Does she drive a Chrysler or a GM product? You know the kind of cars made with taxpayer bailout money and by American workers, including Hispanics? Nope. She drives foreign luxury cars.

Likewise with the other dope, Scarlett Johansen. She came on as a "representative" of young women who need public assistance. Really? Who picked her for that role? Maybe if she made more of her movies in this country fewer women would need public assistance.

I better stop. I am making myself sick . . . . and then there was Sandra Fluke . . .
