Well-heeled liberal crowd reeks of blatant hypocrisy
Even the breathtaking diversions of the Sox and Patriots weren’t enough to calm the restless spirits of conscientious voters who are increasingly weary of frauds masquerading as public servants at the highest levels of government.
If you’re paying attention, it’s all but impossible to turn off your mind because the aggravations and annoyances are endless.
Waiting for the compelling games to begin as the weekend got under way, we learned former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was floating the notion of a White House run.
This is the same exceptionally well-heeled gadfly who donated $80 million to the Democrats in their effort to regain control of the House of Representatives next month, after which he tossed another $20 million into the Senate Democrats’ super PAC fund.
On the surface there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s his dough and there’s nothing inherently wrong with having vast wealth despite the frequently misquoted adage about it. Money is not the root of all evil; love of money is, and that’s different.
Over the years it’s not been uncommon for this phone to ring with a call from some local financial tycoon who, touched by a story he’d read, wanted to make an anonymous donation.
But though he is enthusiastically described as a philanthropist by liberal sycophants, Bloomberg’s motives are a little less charitable and a lot more philosophical.
That, too, is OK. It’s just that you’d like to see a bit more candor from the recipients of his staggering largesse.
He wants to purchase congressional leadership and they call him a philanthropist? Please, Mr. Mayor, make sure your shirt is buttoned, lest your fall heart out.
George Soros, who’s worth roughly $18 billion, is another liberal sugar daddy known to fund a long list of left-wing causes.
Hey, good for him, but it does raise a question:
How come Donald Trump’s fortune is condemned by this same crowd?
Dianne Feinstein’s husband has amassed $94 million through a private equity fund, and Nancy Pelosi has a reported nest egg of almost $30 million, but they both feel our pain. Just ask them.
At a Phoenix rally to fight the president’s tax reform Pelosi referred to Dr. Martin Luther King’s condemnation of “inordinate wealth.”
She was on a roll until someone in the crowed hollered, “How much are you worth, Nancy?”
“No, we’re not talking about that,” she replied.
No, let’s demonize Trump’s success instead.
It’s bad enough this crowd is riddled with hypocrisy, but what makes it worse is that they no longer even feel they have to hide it.
