Please, Anthony Weiner, don’t

Anthony Weiner sextingLean forward

That’s the watchword for MSNBC (you know, the cable news channel that finally admitted that being on its knees for the Obama agenda is not really “covering news”).  “Forward” was the watchword for Obama’s 2012 campaign.  It’s also the word used by Socialists and Communists all over to cover up which direction they really want to take a country – which is backward to a time when only a ruling elite would make the decisions for everyone else (as opposed to those crazy radicals known as the Founding Fathers and TEA Party / 9-12ers / Constitutionalists / Libertarians who want YOU to make the decisions for yourself).

Lean Forward

Certainly, while MSNBC thinks that is what it is doing (or at least its Marketing Dept believes that it is) is moving forward, the only thing that can be said is that its audience rating is doing what Socialists and Communists actually do to countries – taking them backward and downward.  So, do you thinks THIS guy can make NYC “Lean Forward“?  Not so much, from a recent campaign stop (emphasis mine, reformatted):

How dare you?” Brooklyn political activist Chris Owens asked, according to Politicker. “I’m a parent. I’ve got two sons. I represent the Democratic Party. I am outraged and disgusted by you, both by what you did and by the fact that you have the arrogance to run for mayor now.”  Weiner calmly answered, “I appreciate the question, Chris, and I know that some people will feel that way.” But then the brash, scandal-scarred pol went on the offensive, accusing Owens of holding a grudge over a past political slight, BuzzFeed reported. “Well listen, Chris, you have a right to grandstand, and I have a a right to answer the question,” a bristling Weiner said, according to BuzzFeed.

“If my mistakes, and the way I compounded them by being dishonest about them, disqualifies me, then so be it,” he added.

“But I am still gonna be out there leaning forward and talking about these ideas.”

So, Anthony Wiener, better known as the CongressCritter who tweeted his junk to lots of folks and who NOW believes, a mere two years later, can “Lean Forward” to victory to become the next Mayor of NYC?  From a twit of a Nannyist to twitter of a real Sexter – maybe NYC deserves such a mayor.

I blame Progressivism and its unmooring of civil behavior from American life via pushing relativism (“we cannot know the truth, so right and wrong becomes what we say it is – and when we need it to change for our greater good”).  Years ago, someone who did what Wiener did, would be shunned.  Those ordinary schmucks and perverts that expose themselves still get arrested and get put on sex criminal lists (although as we saw here in NH, it takes a while if you are an academic from UNH).  This guy?  Gets his man parts to “lean forward” and then thinks he should run for mayor?  And get elected?

Marion Barry – convicted Washington DC mayor – elected back onto the DC City Council.  And yes, on the R side, former Guv Mark Sanford cheated on his wife, disappeared for a couple of years and now is a US Congressman.

So, what does this say, not about them and other elected officials like them, but us as the Electors?  We, who put these criminals, pervs, and morally illiterates back into power, should we get our heads examined?  Have we all gone around the bend and no longer believe that character counts?
