As you read through the weekly Leftist LUNCs,
you may ask: Why is it that liberals typically start out with
wonderfully positive and laudable intents, but end up with negative and
regrettable consequences? Why does the Left almost invariably produce
the opposite effect than what they originally intended? How does so
much bad come from so much good?
You may also ask: Why do Leftist LUNCs continue
to happen, seemingly repeatedly and on such a grand
scale? Given the fallibility and gullibility, though progressive
tendency of human nature, one may reasonably expect Leftist LUNCs to
have occurred a couple of times early in liberal history and maybe
rarely thereafter, though not persistently
You may also be puzzled that even with all the scandals and depressing economic news and
authoritative reports faulting liberals in general, and the Obama administration in particular, for a host of
domestic and foreign problems, and no matter how many statements from
the President and other Democrats run demonstrably counter to the facts, and given people's
heightened concerns and disappointment over a number of prominent
political issues, nevertheless there is poll after poll giving President
Obama high marks for the job he has been doing, and liberals continue to be elected and re-elected.
"Three years ago today, a freshly-inaugurated President Obama said of his
plan to fix the financial crisis that 'if I don’t have this done in
three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.'” (See HERE) Yet, the economy wasn't fixed. In fact, in many respects the economy has
gotten worse. (See Obamanomics--Trickle-up Poverty) Still, Obama has become a two-term proposition, leaving
many of us puzzling why?
As intimated in the Limbaugh Theorem,
"Rush noted of what he
calls 'low
information voters' that 'they think that what’s happening in the
country has nothing to do with Obama…..He’s not seen as responsible
for any of this.' So often has Rush explained The Limbaugh Theorem
(as
here) that it has, in the way of the modern world, long since
entered the political vernacular. As
here over at Commentary, for example. Or
here at WND." (See HERE) (See also HERE and HERE and HERE)
While
Rush explains this disconnect as, "Obama’s popularity lies in his
remaining in campaign mode, instead of getting down to the business of
governance" (See HERE). I have my own theories as to why this happens as well as answers to the questions I pose above. I will address each of the answers in this blog.
