The Golden Cliche's

Well, after a series of editorials that actually showed some journalistic progress and well organized insight, the DNR has decided to try and sell a few papers. Partisan button-pushing has always been a tried and true method of getting attention and good ole liberal bashing, cliche spouting, partisan ranting, name calling, and stupid insults are once again on display in today's blog rant that trying to pass as an editorial. Go ahead and read it first here. Page 2....

"the Liberal Messiah opined"

Any particular reason to use this as a silly playground epithet? Never mind that the Messiah WAS a radical liberal... Jealous?

"the sermon continued"

So Barack is now a pastor? Must have been all those years in the pews getting hammered with fire and brimstone. What is it with pastors that annoys you sir? My daddy was a pastor!

"that truth does not mean the federal government must shove its snout into the matter"

Of course not. Remember! Small government, privacy, NO taxes, NO socialism. Of course also remember the exceptions, the military, the post office, the fire department, the rescue squad, National surveillance of private citizens, borrow money to fight a war so we won't have to raise taxes to pay for it.... This comment gets the Golden Cliche Award #1!

"signing book contracts and dealings with a crooked slumlord."

Ok we'll try and ignore that Obama CAN actually write a book, showing the amount of thoughtfulness and powers of observation missing in this editorial. And this comment gets Golden Cliche Award #2..... accusing a political opponent of dirty dealing.... ta da!

"America's Crackpot Emeritus"

This title or lame epithet, take your pick, is richly deserved and currently owned by your predecessor at the DNR. Pretty lame to try and change it now....

"career of spewing racist rhetoric about "rich whites"'

That sounds like a thoughtful analysis of oh,say, 20 seconds of a sermon spoken from the pulpit of a big city black church.... 20 seconds! Of course that's all that's necessary. This one is a simple "takes one to call one" cheap shot.

"his own colleagues, the politicians in Washington who, even as they setttle such crucial matters as how much water toilets can flush"

So much for the environment, the quality of water. For you, I know the most important use of water is flushing your toilet. I won't say what every one is thinking about why that is necessary. And of course, what is "setttle?"

"somehow can't find the time to stop federal bueraucrats'... (that would be bureaucrats) ...'from swindling the taxpayers with government credit cards"

Now WHEN did that happen? And WHY did that happen? Something about lax oversight and the government staying out of our lives, and hooray for spending our grandchildren's taxes?? Ladies and gentlemen I give you Golden Cliche Award #3 - Federal bureaucrats are incompetent!

And the Grand Prize for today's Golden Cliche Award for pots and kettles!

"Mr. Obama has enough worries without tackling problems he knows nothing about."

Of course, let Mr Editor's heros be in charge some more. They've done SUCH a good job!
