In the mind of the leftist the single greatest act of treachery is success. Success, be it an institution, an individual or nation breeds, contempt an envy and those who are successful are vilified. In the leftist mind it is inconceivable that someone can be successful through the merits of their hard-work and industriousness, for the leftist, success only comes from duplicity and fraud. This is a defense mechanism created by those failures in society to justify their lack of success and poor decisions. No corporate entity, with the possible exception of Microsoft, has experienced this phenomenon more fully than Wal-Mart. As the nation’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart has been consistently targeted by the Neo-Socialist Party for wages, healthcare, etc…Their latest attack, Wal-Mart’s policy of penalizing workers who are consistently tardy. Wal-Mart in some ridiculous notion that its employees should fulfill their work requirements and responsibilities has been punishing workers that fail to show-up for work when expected. To make matters worse, some of the most habitual violators have been terminated. No wonder the Neo-Socs are up in arms, Wal-Mart’s efforts to maintain an efficient and responsible work force is the work of the devil, pure and simple. Clearly employees who can’t fulfill their duties should be retained in a bid to create a private welfare system. Shame on you Wal-Mart…

This week, after over 2 days of stonewalling and distractionary retorts, the esteemed Senator from Massachusetts finally issued an apology (of sorts) for asserting that the military was the refugee for the uneducated and academic dunces of American society. John Kerry, perhaps taken aback by the reaction, vigorously asserted that his remarks were intended for president Bush, a “botched joke,” if you will, a nonsensical argument for anyone who heard Kerry’s remarks, and further refuted by Kerry’s longstanding vilification of the US military going back over 30 years. Kerry’s comments are also somewhat perplexing. Somewhere along the way, the C Student John Kerry, gained a reputation as an intellectual and scholar of the Democratic party, fascinating, considering his academic record fails behind another that of another academic lightweight, George W. Bush. Perhaps in the Neo-Soc lexicon, one who embraces socialist dogma is clearly an intellectual superior. Later this week Kerry gave a half-hearted apology, in which he essentially told those in the military and vets across the country that he was sorry if they were offended, while still refusing to apologize for his words. Kerry’s initial words fly in the face of the facts. Indeed, over the past 6 years, the proportion of the military’s enlistees who hail from poor families has steadily declined while a greater number of enlistees hail from the wealthy. But do facts matter for today’s socialist party?

Perhaps it may never be proven scientifically but it certainly seems like the most virulent anti-gay firebrands are actually gay themselves. In the most recent case, Ted Haggard, President of the National Association of Evangelicals, has been implicated in a 3-year tryst in which he paid a male prostitute for sex and drugs. Oh how the mighty, and hypocritical, have fallen. When these allegations first came to light Haggard was vocal in his denials, as he has been vocal in supporting extra-constitutional gay marriage bans. Now its seems Haggard’s tune has changed. Given Haggard’s secret life one has to wonder about the likes of Pat Robertson and the fascist Fred Phelps.
