Demonizing ones opponent is a typical leftist maneuver.
Bringing down bad vibes on anyone or anything that opposes the position.
This recent housing trouble we have had gets blamed on the administration that was in charge when it hit, and blame is laid at the feet of the Republicans and the tool used is regulation...however, if we look closely it was the regulation of the housing industry, in particular lending practices, that brought the market down to it's knees. Insistence that the banks provide loans to those who would not normally qualify under the banks independent rules and practices. Banks did not practice this sort of loan making in the past, and it wasn't their idea this time. It was the idea of congress, led by the left.
Barney Frank and others involved in the housing industry were warned repeatedly during the GW Bush years that the way that they were doing things was going to catch up to us and a collapse could emerge. But a deaf ear was turned to the words of the right wing, including Bush himself making the plead to change the way things were being done, and I think it was three times he made the plea in the Senate hall.
But the demonization of the last administration continues, and the calling for more regulation continues, from the left. If Farmer Joe, who only sees 10-15 minutes of news a day is led down the path of bullshit, he has nothing else to go on but bullshit.
If he is given the truth of a matter, he more than likely has the sense to make a proper decision for himself and his family. But the left seems to only want you to think, or have the perception, that they are out for the little working man.
Just like MJ, it is one of those things that people do...they associate pot smoking with the so-called freedom loving left. But from what I see, the left has nothing at all as far as a promise to legalize pot. Hell, with the way things are being done today, Obama could sign an executive order immediately and there wouldn't be much at all the Republicans could do about it. Nor, IMO, do they really want to do anything about that issue. There are far more issue that will cause our demise if not addressed and fixed.
