Look, I’ve got nothing personal against Mr. Milbank,
although it was some time before I finally realized that Dana was actually a
guy, I mean who names their son ‘Dana’, but I find his attempt to blame Flint’s
water crisis on anyone other than those who truly deserve the blame to be
rather disingenuous, and more than just a little dishonest. You see, it’s according to Milbank that it’s
all because of the conservative, and Founding Father-approved, ideal of
limiting the power of the federal government that brought the Flint water
crisis about in the first place.
‘Dana’, who is one of those unbiased lefty
‘journalists’ who very enthusiastically supports a big and even bigger
government, said, "It’s a vicious cycle." He then goes on to say, "Washington
devolves power to the states. When states screw up, conservatives blame the
federal government, worsening the public’s already shaky faith. Having tied the
hands of the feds — in this case, the EPA — they use the failure as
justification to restrict federal power further, thus giving more control to
the states, which caused the problem in the first place."
And then he goes on to say, and very confidently so,
"This is no abstract problem." What would a United States look like
if there were no all-powerful Environmental Protection Agency? "It would
look like Flint," Milbank answers. And then in citing the Safe Drinking
Water Act, this boob, Milbank, goes on to argue that the EPA "takes a back
seat to state regulators" and thus couldn't -- by law -- intervene. They
knew about the lead-contaminated water for a year and did nothing. Milbank
argues that it took that long to "meet the law's requirements to take
action."
And although he admits that the EPA "should
have acted faster," Milbank believes the state of Michigan bears the brunt
of the blame. That's fine, but in doing so, Milbank must recognize the fact
that Flint was led by Democrat Mayor Dayne Walling until losing re-election
over the lead fiasco and was replaced by yet another Democrat, Karen Weaver.
But he doesn't, of course, preferring to blame conservative values for creating
the problem: No, this problem was
created by a rigid adherence to the notion that states will police themselves
and that the federal government should step aside.
Look, the bottom line here is that Milbank is
nothing if not a complete ignoramus. There was NOTHING and NOBODY in the local
government level having an affect on the water that is anything but the
DEMOCRATS and their circle of cronies. Flint is also nothing more than yet
another perfect example of what happens when only Democrats are left in charge.
But, everybody automatically assumes that ANYWAY. And if we truly want the rest of the country
to look like Flint, or Detroit, or Chicago, or any other big city, then vote
for Hitlery!
If you can't blame the Jews, blame
Conservatives. As mentioned, it can't be
decades of Democrat control. Nope, it's tight-fisted conservatism. Leftists,
progressives, if you prefer, and truth are not synonymous. The former haven't a
firm grip on facts; the truth frightens them, putting them into a hissy-fit. In
their askew logic, every malady afflicting this nation is caused by those of
another political bent; needless to say, the right. It is easier to blame the
other guy, this being Barry's way, than to admit that progressives, the
Democrats, et al, are not infallible, but heavily delusional.
Yep, if they get control of this nation in the
coming election, it will sink like a stone in quicksand. Our Constitution will
be declared as nothing more than a historical piece of paper of no true
significance for today's America. We can kiss our freedom of speech and or
thought goodbye. This, needless to say, will only be the beginning, but the end
will come soon enough; if the electorate hands the Democrats another tenure in
the White House. So, give yourself that
warm and fuzzy feeling by voting for Hitlery if you choose, and then kiss your
freedoms good bye!
