Libs in perfect harmony

Joseph Gobbles would be agog at the how the left can within minutes get its entire propaganda machine singing to the same tune. The ripples in the murky waters of the Mississippi had not reached the far bank after the bridge collapse in Minnesota before Libs were singing in perfect harmony that the bridge fell because of money spent in Iraq.

Let me just say that anybody whose budget approximates three trillion dollars is not suffering from a lack of money to do anything. It’s not a shortage of tax dollars. It’s how the absolute losers in Washington chose to spend those tax dollars. For instance, Jack Murtha scored $150 million dollars in pork projects. It’s a bipartisan issue. Trent doesn’t think a Lott, wants to spend $700 million tearing up a rail line in Mississippi that the railroad has just spent $300 million repairing. The government wastes your tax money on everything from subsidizing sports stadiums for billionaire team owners to providing funding for tasteless art work produced by no talent artists who couldn’t paint an outhouse.

Now the lefties are in high dudgeon over a single bridge collapsing for as yet undetermined reasons. How ironic would it be if the collapse is determined to have been caused by the repairs being performed on the bridge? What could we draw from that lesson? Better to let the infrastructure crumble on its own than try to fix it and destroy it in the process.

So the Libs think it’s perfectly acceptable to spend $14 billion dollars on the Big Dig in Boston, watching it collapse, and then spending hundreds of millions more to do the job right but cringe at spending money to fight a war on Islamo-Terror-Fascists. And while most people would agree that the US has strategic interests in the Middle East, the MSM and Libs would have us believe it is far better to build a bridge to nowhere for an arrogant sleazy AK senator than to fix the bridges we already have or confront the ITF in the Middle East.

So, Libs tell the big LIE: while al Qaeda was organizing in every corner of the world, they never were in Iraq in before the war. Well, al Qaeda is undeniably in Iraq now, but Libs extorted 21 BILLION in pork in exchange for sending the president a relatively clean Iraq spending bill. Then there’s the latest dust in the house where apparently Libs think we have enough money to pay for housing and education subsidies to ILLEGAL ALLIENS but we don’t have enough to fix the bridges. The idea that there is not enough money to fix the infrastructure is laughable. It’s not the money. It’s the backassward priorities set by dopes in Washington.

Then there is this. 15.5% of the transportation tax goes to mass transit. That’s right, 15.5% of your gas taxes and other fees go to running empty bus lines, building riderless money losing light rail lines and propping up AMTRAC. When is the last time you rode a city bus? Did you enjoy the experience?

So a bridge falls into a river, as bridges are wont to do every 25 years or so, and Libs go nuts “THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS FALLING APART!!” Well it isn’t. And even if it were, it’s a matter of setting priorities not raising taxes or quitting the war against the Islamo-Terror-Fascists trying to kill us all much faster than collapsing bridges could ever do the job.
