If there is anyone out there who is still not
convinced of just how delusional, even demented, Nancy Pelosi actually is, then
I would think that any and all doubt has now been removed, and very thoroughly
so, after she recently made the ridiculous declaration that Obamacare, equal
pay, and Barry “Almighty’s” executive action on immigration are fulfilling the
Founding Fathers’ vision from the Declaration of Independence about “life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” and that such legal and executive steps
were “honoring the vows of our Founders.”
That has to be the most bizarre statement that I have ever heard come
from the mouth of Ms. Pelosi.
It came while Pelosi was speaking at the Department
of Labor, you know that very honest and trustworthy part of the government
tasked with coming up with, each and every month, what has essentially become
not much more than the equivalent to a running joke that we’re supposed to
believe is the accurate portrayal of this country’s unemployment
situation. Apparently she was there to
mark something called, National Equal Pay Day.
Pelosi said, “The strength of America” is “families, and that means
empowering moms and dads. It means what we did with the Affordable Care Act.” You know, that which we needed to pass before
being able to see what was in it.
This refugee from a carnival freak show continued by
saying, “Our founders, they said life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Imagine, they put that in a founding document: life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. So, all of this with health care and all the related issues,
equal pay, all of that, give people a life, a healthier life to pursue their
happiness.” I always get a bit of kick
out whenever I hear these rabid progressives talking about our Founding Fathers
or our founding documents as if they actually knew anything about these men or
have ever actually read any of the documents that they profess to hold so near
and dear to their hearts.
It’s the Declaration of Independence that Ms. Pelosi
states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” And Pelosi veered off into the weeds as she went
on to tell those assembled, “The liberty, the freedom, money gives you freedom
but liberty to pursue their happiness.”
She added, “So we are honoring the vows of our Founders when we do this.
This is what they had in mind that every generation would take responsibility
to make the future better for the next.”
Pelosi called this “the American dream,” continuing,
“people flock to our shores, that invigoration made America the greatest
country that has ever existed in the history of the world and will continue
to.” But she neglects to mention that
those who used to flock to this country did so in order to take advantage of
the freedoms that were available, now days immigrants flock here not to find
opportunity, but instead to take advantage of all manner of taxpayer funded
giveaways and to then turn around to vote for Democrats who promise to keep the
giveaways going?
She said, “That’s why we had to fight hard on
Homeland Security so that they could not erase what the president did on
immigration because that’s what America is.”
She then said, “Every immigrant who comes here with hopes, dreams,
aspirations, courage, determination to make the future better for the next
generation honors the values of our founders, they make America more
American.” The event, to honor Equal Pay
Day, is held to symbolize how far into the year women must work to earn what
men earned in the previous year based on the long ago debunked statistic that
women on average earn 77 percent what men do.
Look, this is just another example of the drivel
that we are going to be hearing a lot more of as the 2016 election gets
nearer. And I shouldn’t have to tell
anyone that there is very little doubt that this next presidential election is
likely to be a very defining one when it comes to where our country goes from
here. Because what it’s going to tell us
is to what degree it is that the American people have now chosen to give up on
this little experiment in human freedom called America. We’ll find out if they would rather be told
what to do and when to do it by those in power, or if they would rather decide
for themselves what to do and if they even ‘want’ to do it.
