A Democrat’s Evolving Positions

revolving on gay marriage- Democrats revolve on every issueMr. Obama has evolved his position on Gay Marriage.  Not surprising.  Most everything the candidate ran on “evolved” once elected to the office.  The lesson then, is not that Mr. Obama is seeing homosexual marriage in a new light, the lesson is that no matter what he says or does about anything, you should expect him to evolve those positions as well.  He has too.

It is a fatal flaw of pragmatism (the left’s safe word for their socialist/Marxist proclivities),which insists on ignoring what has worked in the past in favor of whatever the average room full of left wing intellectuals believes will work now.  Right now.  And what will always work for any room full of smarty-pants liberals is more government and more money to pay for more bureaucracy.  And they’ll tell you all about it.  But they wont tell you this.  When that fails, and fail it shall, they will continue to fund whatever it was, and simply imagine a new solution for a new “right now” problem, that would be the one they just made worse, and that “solution” will require even more government, and more money, to pay for more bureaucracy.  To quote Kyle Resse from the original Terminator Movie.  “You still don’t get it, do you? … That’s what he does! That’s ALL he does!” He, Democrats, don’t know anything else.

The impact of this reality is simple.  Nothing a Democrat says has any meaning past the moment in which they said it.  No matter how sincere they may seem, or even believe they themsleves to be when they said it, the second it leaves their mouths it becomes history; pragmatism defines it in the context of that wink of the eye.  It has no relevance beyond that still shot in time.   How else do you think they can say with a straight face that you are taking what they said “out of context?”  To them it is out of context.  But this is true of everything they every say or ever do.

There is no failure, only trying.  There is no government waste, just investment in the moment.  Followed by the next.  And the next.   History holds no lessons so failure can be repeated simply because at this moment, it looks like it just might work.  The constant, if there is one, is more government, and spending more money, no matter where that leads.  Change just is and you must fund it.

This means that Democrats are doomed to fail at your expense.  You also cannot trust or believe anything they say because they will not let you hold them responsible for anything they do.   Look at Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Buckley, Sullivan, Hassan.   They are pragmatists.  And this might not be an issue if they were private people trying things with their own money.  But they are “doing” with our money and  they will use the power of the police state to intimidate us into letting them, or if at all possible from stopping them.

They will waste your millions or  trillions and fail.  And then?  They will imagine the next new ‘right now” and spend more of your money again.  And the best part of all…when you hold them accountable, they will call you stupid, racist, bigoted, ignorant, rubes who are puppets of some higher temporal power.   But that’s a more apt description of themselves.
