A week ago it was one of my listeners who first coined the term for the incoming freshman of Congressional members who were propped up to run as conservatives against GOP candidates: The Crash Dummies.
Some of them will begin to speak in the days to come and it will be of some interest to me at least - what they will have to say.
As I predicted there will be an attempt for some of them to appear independent from the liberal elites that will now hold all of the positions of leadership, others like Jim Webb - have already started spouting their crazed views of the world openly.
In yesterday's Wall Street Journal, Webb seems to indicate that the most important issue facing America today is not the war against the islamo-radicals who are seeking our destruction, not the homo-radicals who are seeking our indoctrination, not the health of our daughters as the abort-radicals seek to butcher them, but it is instead - "class struggle."
"The true challenge is for everyone to understand that the current economic divisions in society are harmful to our future. It should be the first order of business for the new Congress to begin addressing these divisions, and to work to bring true fairness back to economic life. Workers already understand this, as they see stagnant wages and disappearing jobs."
At 4.4% unemployment (thats 95.6% employment for those of you who went to public schools) how can we make the argument about "disappearing jobs" with any amount of credulity? Sure the guy on the assembly line may now be working for Toyota's Ohio based plant instead of Ford but what is the essential difference that "workers already understand?"
"The politics of the Karl Rove era were designed to distract and divide the very people who would ordinarily be rebelling against the deterioration of their way of life. Working Americans have been repeatedly seduced at the polls by emotional issues such as the predictable mantra of "God, guns, gays, abortion and the flag" while their way of life shifted ineluctably beneath their feet. But this election cycle showed an electorate that intends to hold government leaders accountable for allowing every American a fair opportunity to succeed."
AH! Here it is... all the liberal garbage that you knew was brewing underneath the surface...
1. It's ALL Rove's fault...
2. Americans are so stupid that they turned into mindbots over God, gays and abortion...
3. They were such stupid mindbots that they actually have voted "against themselves" and into the best performing economy in the last 20 years...but that's bad...
4. It is up to the all-knowing, ever perfect federal government to correct this egregious wrong...
Crash Dummy Webb, spokesman for the incoming class of 2006...
Yesterday we tackled one of the questions that Webb raised in his editorial, in essence - "Is America fundamentally a place where every person is given a 'fair opportunity to succeed'?" NONE of my callers agreed with me in my disagreement with Webb. Listen for yourself and see who YOU agree with... Hour 1, Hour 2.
