Sick of Joe Wilson

Posted by Lew Rockwell on September 13, 2009 01:59 PM
Writes Robert Hawes:
Living in Congressman Joe Wilson’s district, I find myself surrounded by conservatives who are hailing Wilson’s “You lie!” as a tremendous act of character and courage. And while I agree that Obama is a liar, I’m constrained to point out that Wilson seems to have problems with lying when only Democrats do it. When Republican presidents lie, he’s 100% behind them. He backed the Bush administration all the way, supporting all of the phony war and occupation rhetoric and every abuse of power.
Before long, I’m sure we’ll see “You lie!” t-shirts being sold on conservative sites (I’m already seeing “You lie!” flair on Facebook). What I’d really like to see is “They all lie!” t-shirts. Maybe LRC could raise some cash by selling those.
Of course, “They all lie!” would have to exclude Ron Paul (maybe that “except Ron Paul” statement could go on the back of the t-shirts).

You Lie!

That conservatives would take up the “You Lie!” cry of a man who apologized twice for saying it (but now refuses to apologize again) shows just how conned they are. When people said ”Bush Lied, They Died” and didn’t apologize for it, conservatives were outraged.
And Ryan is right, Wilson is one of the 204 Republicans who voted for Bush’s expansion of socialized medicine and the welfare state known as the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.

It always comes down to nationalism for the Cons

Note also that what drove Joe Wilson to his outburst wasn’t Obama’s support for robbing the taxpayers to pay for the horrendous healthcare plan. No, if Wilson is like most Republicans, he’s obviously fine with fleecing the taxpayers for any number of things from pointless wars to Bush’s prescription drug program. What drove Wilson over the edge was the issue of illegal aliens. You see, when you’re a Conservative or a Republican, socialism is fine as long as the money just goes to the right people. As long as those sub-human foreigners (excluding dictators we support) don’t see a dime, massive redistribution of wealth is perfectly fine with the Republicans, as the GOP has demonstrated about 10,000 times in the last decade. The core of the Conservative movement is crazed nationalism, and certainly not freedom, and their efforts to offer alternatives to Obamaism through microscopically smaller budgets and slightly less thievery don’t exactly thrill.
For similar reasons, the conservatives are now going nuts over some rumor that Obama will fly the Chinese flag over the White House. The whole affair is too boring for me to even read an entire article on the matter, but I do know that the flag of the corrupt, bloated, and socialist state organization known as the US Government flies over that same building daily, so I couldn’t possibly care less that the flag of the corrupt, bloated, and socialist state known as the Chinese Government might be up on that flagpole for awhile.
