Meanwhile, back in the real world private sector
In what can be viewed as extrapolation of Enoch’s earlier post on the growing number of opportunities in the public sector, I thought that I’d provide some information on the state of affairs in the private sector; just so that we could all relish the Hope-n-Changey goodness of it all!
You know, it’s a good darn thing that our betters in Pelosi’s Politburo Congress passed the spendulus bill, otherwise unemployment might be heading north of 9%...
Oh, wait…
I’d like to make it clear that none of us here at POWIP, nor in the greater sphere that comprises the conservative side of the nation’s political spectrum are relishing the continued economic struggles of our economy at large and many of our fellow Americans in particular. Unlike our many of counterparts on the port side of the ideological divide, who took great pleasure in reporting military setbacks in Iraq and who desperately tried to paint every economic metric reported on during the Booooooosh! Years as a signpost on the road to ruin, we are simply pointing out matters of fact and trying to tie up the loose ends that are largely unaddressed by the MSM. And, to a small extent, we are using these facts to underscore the many of the reservations that opponents of the spendulus had at the time of it’s passing, as well as the hubris laden conceit of Obama administration official who pronounced, and still try to talk up with weasel words, just how many jobs they have created/saved and how that legislation has succeeded in turning the economy around.
And I won’t even start on the “shovel ready! †connivance, or the combined hypocrisy of repeating that along with the “Jobs! †and “Science! †mantras while shutting down the already running F-22 production lines and the successful, and never more needed, missile defense programs. I’ll reserve the right to rant about that ‘til another time…
A two-fer; Democrats display their hypocrisy and psychosis of projection
There’s been a lot of faux outrage in Democrat circles about how the “tea-baggers†and town hall health care opponents are, in reality, professionally organized mobs who are only intent on “shouting down†the opposition. Like many, I am amused at the irony of the party that invented “shouting downâ€, and who so effectively used flash mobs of brown-shirt astroturfers in the 2008 Presidential campaign, whining like spoiled children when their legislative agenda is thwarted by actual “grassroots†groups of ordinary concerned citizens; as well as when they project their own usual methodology and tactics onto that same agitated opposition.
It kind of reminds me of the phony self-righteousness of the MSM; holding conservatives to a higher standard than liberals because of the hypocrisy. I guess that in a universe where there were actually objective mainstream news sources, videos like these posted by Cap’n Ed, from Arizona and Illinois, would receive a lot of play because they expose the usual rank hypocrisy of the Democrat’s public assertions regarding any and all opponent; and after all, that’s what the MSM is concerned about exposing, eh?
Not.So.Much…
No, to actually report on these kind of episodes would disrupt the meta-narrative that the MSM is trying to craft for Obamacare. And, it might have the horrible unintended consequence of legitimizing the protesters and their grievances. We can’t have that! Not when dedicated journalists shills like Chris “Tingle†Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Eugene Robinson are doing their duty!, trying to ensure that the Obama Presidency is successful.
But, unfortunately for people of their ilk, a large portion of the public is focused on this debate, and get word of mouth and talk radio reports of this kind of chicanery. And so ultimately this might just be a win-win for conservatives. Not only might Obamacare be defeated, but so too might the reality of the bias and duplicity of the media be substantially impressed in the public consciousness in such a way that their propaganda will have far less impact in the future.
I mean, we can all see how well it’s working. Just look at Obama’s soaring approval ratings!

UPDATE: Ooops! Spoke too soon. Make that a trifecta. It seems that suddenly the MSM feels that a candidates college writings are vitally important !1!1!!eleventy. Well at least when that candidate is, you know, a large state Republican in a tight race!
