NANCY PELOSI, A FEW BRICKS SHORT OF A LOAD…


 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 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.
