Consistency isn’t his strong suit

I haven’t fisked a post of unrepentent liar ”Reverend” Chuck Currie lately, so here goes:

Our nation’s fringe lunatic right-wing is fighting mad and charging the address is part of some massive socialist plot on the part of the White House. They should shut up.

Too funny.  He says they should shut up, even while he’s complaining about them not wanting to have Obama’s propoganda plan played out.  (Again, I have no issues with the President speaking to students, it is the content, the accompanying materials and the lockstep reinforcement by liberal teachers that disturbs me).

And of course, there is the usual name calling by Chuck.  How pathetic.  When I refer to Liberals I usually say something like, “Liberals.”  I don’t say, “Baby-killing, God-hating, Gun-confiscating, First Amendment-mocking, radical, lunatic, bat-sh** crazy, Commie, etc., etc.  Liberals.”   But maybe I should.  After all, if you call your ideological opponent enough names you must be correct — and Christian, too!

But the funniest thing is to contrast his “shut up” command with his closing comment:

Democracy only works when we are willing to listen.

Got that?  According to Chuck, people who oppose Obama need to shut up because Democracy only works when we are willing to listen.

The problem for Obama & Co. is that we listen too much.  We actually listened to what Van Jones said.  Either Obama didn’t know what Jones was about, which would have been bad, or Obama knew and didn’t care, which would be really bad.  Given that he threw Jones under the bus even though the MSM largely ignored the issue, I suspect that Obama knew Jones’ issues.

We listen carefully and we draw conclusions.  But Chuck wants us to shut up with those conclusions.  How Democratic.

More fun stuff in bold:

Students ought to be able to hear their president speak without interference of reactionary political activists and right-wing radio talk show hosts who see plots behind every corner. And frankly, whoever the president is – Democrat or Republican – they deserve more respect.

I fought hard to keep George W. Bush out of the White House in 2000 (when Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the Supreme Court decision) and in 2004. I fought even harder against his disastrous policies that have left America weakened economically and more at risk of terrorist attack.

Seems that Chuck isn’t much of a student of history.  Bush left us more at risk of a terrorist attack?!  Heh.  Oh, and Al Gore lost the electoral vote, any way you count it, and we don’t elect Presidents based on the popular vote.  But Chuck wouldn’t let those pesky facts get in the way of a  good personal attack.

  1. Chuck is quite the two-faced liar, isn’t he? I tried to correct some of his “facts” on one of his anti-gun diatribes. I was polite… honest. He accused me of being an NRA member. When I confirmed his suspicions, he declared me a right-wing extremist terrorist thug. Nice talk for a “reverend”. Also pretty blantant double-talk since he declares that anything Biblical is hate-speach, yet he can call names with impunity. He also banned me so I can’t defend myself. What a guy.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the definition of socialism having the government operating things, i.e. health insurance?

    • Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the definition of socialism having the government operating things, i.e. health insurance?

      Socialism is having the government control ALL things, including all services, all industry, almost all business and resources, etc. Calling the US with public health care socialist is a gross misunderstanding of the word and the ideology.

      • Yes / no question (no editorializing): Has the Obama Administration taken control of more or less part of the economy and do they have plans to take control of more or less of the economy?

        Rhetorical question: Would most people consider health care to be a significant part of the economy, given that it is about 1/7 of the total and equal to Britain’s GDP?

  3. “Socialism is having the government control ALL things”

    No it’s not. That’s like saying a capitalist society has NO government intervention. I tend to see it as a spectrum, nothing is all socialist or all capitalist.
