RE: Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and her quest to catch the horizon. Some comments on your editorial about a local gal hitting the really, really big time.

Sirs,

God has blessed animals and small children with a great gift: short memories. To that we must now add a most dangerous carnivore, a modern American Liberal with power.

All hail Congressperson Debbie Wasserman-Schultz on her successful putsch! It is a coup worthy of inclusion in the Hudson County, N.J. Hack Hall of Fame. She is now the face of the Democratic Party.

I know that “politics ain’t bean bag”. Further, I know that fortune favors the brave. Having exhausted my truism quotient for the week let me focus on the “balloon juice” portion of your editorial.

You say she is “an unabashed liberal and spokesperson for Democratic ideals and issues”.

Speaking of “Democratic ideals”…During the American Civil War the Democratic Party wanted a settlement with the South. That meant that they were OK with slavery. They also called Lincoln a “baboon”. Their opposition to the Bush “surge” began when they were vehemently opposed to Sherman’s “surge”. There is a certain consistency of “ideals” there.

Since he is going to be dead for a very long time I feel a bit churlish for mentioning that Robert Byrd, the President Pro Tem of the Senate, rose to the rank of Grand Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan. He also went on national TV and twice used the “dreaded ‘N’ word”, the word that White folk dare not use. Nothing happened.


Any time the war tocsin sounds they slobber all over themselves looking for an “exit strategy”. The only exception was for America’s longest war. That was the one started by Lyndon Johnson against poverty in 1964. Maybe she can explain it.

I await, not quite breathlessly, her defense of “kinetic military action”. Perhaps she will give us a definition of it also.

Perhaps she can tell us why the dreaded deficits of the hated Bush administration have become the saving grace of the Obama administration.

Perhaps, on the way to the undiscovered country of “shovel ready” projects, she can tell us of the virtues of $4.20 a gallon gasoline.

Perhaps there is a rational explanation for the Obama administration subsidizing George Soros in his off shore drilling efforts in Brazil while it effectively stops drilling in our waters. Perhaps it is the Chicago Way writ large.

Speaking of off shore drilling, Cuba is about to spud 5 wells so close to Key West that Sloppy Joe’s has the lunch concession. Will the American Navy enforce the no drilling zone even if the Chinese are the tool pushers?

It would be a bit of a stretch for her to claim success in the brutal fight against teenage obesity because of parents being out of work. If you are a modern American Liberal correlation and causality are interchangeable terms. Watch for it.

But perhaps she can explain, as the paradigmatic template of modern American Liberalism, why she sent the cops after me on September 18, 2001. [I enclose my letter to her later that day.]

Modern American Liberals are judged on their intentions, never on their results.

2 men, both of whom had badges and guns, asking if they could come in and talk to me had a bracing effect. I never understood whether a “slippery slope” gave you a “chilling effect” or if it were the other way around

Using the classic good cop/bad cop routine one of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents told me that I should stop writing, not only to her, but to all elected officials.

Modern American Liberals react to speech not to praising them like Dracula being tossed into a swimming pool filled with holy water.

For someone whose resume states that she has 2 degrees in Political Science she was/is woefully ignorant of the History of Free Speech, particularly political speech. It all began in Greece. Claiming to have a Master’s degree in Political Science and not knowing of parrhesia – “Free men speak with free tongues” – is like saying you have a Master’s degree in Music and have never heard of Bach. Worse, you don’t know what a cello is.

Perhaps her degrees are from the Rangoon School of Proctology and Hair Dressing, [Being folliclely challenged removes the base charge of using an ad hominem argument. I want the name of her hair dresser because I want to draw a line through it unless she is auditioning for the lead role in Medusa. Perhaps Angie’s list should be notified] That would make her the ideal candidate for her new job as Empress of the Democratic Party.

If I were to suggest that the Empress is naked would a social call from Navy Seals be expected? Maybe they could explain “kinetic military action”.

A match made in heaven!

Debbie the Hecate with a national audience.

Hillary Clinton is starting to look like Cicero.
