The Right Wing has been proved once again to be wrong, this time on Cliven Bundy, the anarchist in Nevada who refuses to pay his taxes, disobeys the Bureau of Land Management, and says he does not recognize the authority of the federal government.
This is NOT the first time the Right Wing has been wrong!
Consider the following:
Wrong on the threat of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany in the 1930s
Wrong in their opposition to Social Security in the 1930s
Wrong in their condemnation of federal spending during the New Deal
Wrong in their glorification of Chiang Kai Shek as Chinese Leader in the 1940s through 1970s
Wrong in their support of racial segregation in the era of civil rights
Wrong in their belief of the detrimental effect of the 1960s on America
Wrong in their opposition to Medicare in the 1960s
Wrong in their blaming of the Left for the loss in the Vietnam War
Wrong in their demonization of Jimmy Carter’s Presidency
Wrong in their opposition to the Panama Canal Treaty because of fear of danger to American security
Wrong in their glorification of Ronald Reagan’s Presidency
Wrong in their demonization of Bill Clinton’s Presidency
Wrong in their support of the Religious Right evangelical Christianity in American politics
Wrong in their promotion of racist politicians even in recent times
Wrong in their attack on the environmental movement and climate change
Wrong in their promotion of denial of human rights and equality to gay Americans
Wrong in their demonization of Barack Obama’s Presidency
Is this enough of a list?
Of the two things on your list I have always found the glorying Reagan thing and demonizing Clinton thing to be the most hypocritical on their part. Mostly because if any President in recent times since Nixon actually DESERVED impeachment proceedings it was Reagan. Yet they overlooked that and held him up as some great paragon of republican values. They all but had to have hidden how unfit for the presidency Reagan was in his second term after that assassination attempt, but nahh that’s not wrong.
Bill Clinton has an affair and they actually go through with impeachment proceedings because having an affair is sooo much worse than near treasonous actions by a president and allowing someone who should have been ruled unfit to continue right?
Eh sorry for the rant lol I was also just wondering if you’ve ever seen the show House of Cards? As a political junkie I would highly recommend it.
