3 California Democrat Senators have been suspended - one huge gun control advocate is facing charges of gun running with Barbee Phillips Kinnisonipine terrorists including shoulder fired missiles. The Hypocrites of the Left leading the Lemming Brigade who are too well programmed and REFUSE to see TRUTH in spite of the Royal Disconnect = the we care about the people living large off the taxpayers dime as poverty, foodstamps need, extended unemployment rise and the IDIOTs believe it. None are so blind as they who REFUSE to see, nor so deaf as they who REFUSE to hear. From Publishers Weekly Working with a broadly inclusive pantheon of the Left that places Ralph Nader and Barbra Streisand on equal footing with Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, Schweizer (The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty) suggests that liberalisms heroes conduct their lives in ways that prove their philosophy to be ultimately self-defeating, self-destructive, and unworkable. While acknowledging that conservatives can be high-profile hypocrites as well, Schweizer employs a double standard, arguing that when conservatives betray their publicly stated principles, they harm only themselves and their families, but when liberals misbehave, they harm their principles first and foremost. Sometimes his research uncovers significant contradictions, as when Schweizer points out that Noam Chomsky, who tends to demonize the military establish ment, wrote his first book, Syntactic Structures, with grants from the U.S. Army, the Air Force and the Office of Naval Research. But many of his charges are egregiously hyperbolic, as when he suggests that Cornel West is a segregationist because he bought a home in a largely Caucasian suburb. Schweizer clearly knows the limitations of his argument, since he backpedals from many of his most damning statements in his closing remarks. For all its revelations, in the end, this volume reads less like a critique of liberal philosophy than a catalogue of ammunition for ad hominem bloggers.
