Hypocrisy: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially the false assumption of an appearance of virtue.
It’s never difficult to write about the hypocrisy of liberals, it’s everywhere, but there does seem to be a special abundance of it in view right now.
The Journal News in White Plains, New York, published the names and addresses of legal gun owners in certain counties …because these gun owners are sort of related to the Sandy Hook murders. They have the same relationship to Sandy Hook as Sarah Palin had to the Gifford shooting in Arizona. None at all. Zero. Still, the Journal believed that the gun owners deserved some measure of public scorn for having legal weapons for self-defense.
Many of the gun-owners and many defenseless homeowners without guns were angry about this information being made public. The Journal then hired armed guards because they felt threatened. Why didn’t they just declare their building a gun-free zone. That should take care of it, right?
Hollywood liberals created an anti-gun video to demonstrate how much they care and how much they hate violence. They were as sanctimonious and self-righteous as we would expect them to be. Since many of them make their living selling and glorifying violence, and enterprising citizen put together this superb and well deserved slam.
NBC’s David Gregory inadvertently demonstrated the ineffectiveness of gun laws by showing that illegal items are easily obtainable. His showed an illegal large clip on television even after he knew it was against the law for him to possess it. He also ridiculed the suggestion of the NRA President to consider more armed guards in schools. But he sends his kids to a school with armed guards.
Liberals from many quarters heaped scorn on the NRA for suggesting more guards in schools. But when Bill Clinton proposed the 60 million dollar “Cops in Schools” program in 2000, it was said to be a very thoughtful and caring idea. Now it is a bizarre and crazy idea. Hypocrites can have it both ways.
Al Gore occasionally leaves one of his mansions to jet somewhere and speak earnestly about the importance of having a small carbon footprint. He also speaks about the importance of having wealthy people pay more in taxes. It’s just the right thing to do, he says.
Mr. Gore was very busy at the end of 2012 wrapping up a deal that will put around 100 million dollars of oil related wealth into his fat bank account. He sold his troubled cable network to Al-Jazeera. Insiders said there was a herculean effort to complete the deal before the end of the year for the purpose of avoiding this year’s tax increases. Nice work, con man.
It hardly seems possible that the man who has created more debt than any man in history and is actively seeking much more debt can hold a straight face while he speaks about his progress in reducing the debt, but President Obama can. And he does. His actions are the opposite of his words. If he were Colonel Sanders, he could talk solemnly about his deep interest in protecting chickens.
Obamacare will reduce our national debt. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Your insurance premiums will go down. If you are in the middle class, your taxes will not go up one dollar. We will have a transparent administration. You will always have several days to review major legislation before it is voted on. I am a big fan of free enterprise. Lobbyists will not get special favors from me. I immediately gave the orders to do every single thing we could to help our people in Benghazi. Yada, yada.
Did you notice that the evil Bush “tax cuts for the wealthy” have undergone a radical transformation by the hypocrites. They are now very important tax benefits that Obama wants to provide for the middle class. (In reality, Bush cut the lower and middle-income rates by a larger percentage than the upper rates, despite years of lies to the contrary.)
For liberals, saying the right thing is what matters. You can drown women in your car or tell your female assault victim to “put some ice on that”, and still be a “champion for women” if you say the right things.
Haven’t we all had enough of phony politicians? We need to call them out on every lie so that they see the game isn’t working any more. It’s the right thing to do.

The seat occupied by the Democrat who held the longest filibuster in history to stop Eisenhower’s Civil Rights Act of 1957 is now occupied by the only African American in the US Senate… Appointed by the first minority female Governor. If you claim to believe in Civil Rights and aren’t celebrating right now, you are officially a hypocrite.
The NAACP, instead of celebrating, attacked Senator Scott. No surprise, they only support blacks who remain on the Democrat Plantation. You can see Scott’s classy response here.
