I wrote the other day about how Nancy Pelosi told a whopper of a lie about the debt when she was introducing the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner. I offered that she’s either delusional, or a pathological liar. John Hayward, who writes now for Human Events, has some excellent observations about the strange behavior of our recently departed strange Speaker:
It’s fair enough to criticize the Republicans for being milquetoast once Congress is in session, and making endless Charlie Brown runs at the football of bipartisanship… but when they take a moment during ceremonies to celebrate every election as a victory for democracy, and offer kind words to a new Speaker or Majority Leader from the opposing party, they perform the valuable service of establishing the legitimacy of the new Congress.
Every elected representative has a duty to honor that legitimacy… and this is but the latest duty in which Nancy Pelosi is derelict. She’s been acting as if she were deposed in a coup. The will of the voters against her, and the Party she led to ruin, could not be more clear, so the insult extends to voters as well. To believe her wild rambling about deficits and Pay-Go, one must assert the American people are crazy, and the simple math of a $9 trillion deficit rising to $14 trillion is a “Matrix” illusion, which they should chug a red pill and let go of. This is, to put it bluntly, a demand for submission. Admit you were wrong, America, and return the gavel you stole from Nancy Pelosi, so she can continue using it to hammer nails into the framework of utopia.
This is just a small sample of an excellent article. Read the rest at Human Events
