Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Insanity, Part 4: Getting Slammed By Greenpeace Founder, Calling America Garbage, and More

Over the past few months, New York City Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has established herself as a human gaffe machine. Her inability to do simple math, her outlandish ideas based on an alternative reality, her economic ignorance, and lack of common sense has resulted in an almost daily stream of idiocy, inane comments, and ridiculous ideas that have no basis in reality.

As a result, most of our recent political class insanity posts have almost always had an Ocasio-Cortez piece of insanity. Thus, we have decided to separately track her craziness and idiotic takes on economics, business, government, and whatever else on a regular basis under its own set of posts. She deserves to have a separate effort that captures all of the ridiculousness she espouses.

The original format we were going to use was to start with a set of her original inane ideas and just continue to build on that initial list as time goes by. But after just three summaries of her idiocy and stupid ideas it has become obvious that we cannot continually add to the existing set of ineptness, that list would get too large too quickly.

Thus, each new Ocasio-Cortez post will have only the latest gaffes out of her mouth. To review her previous idiocies just enter her last name in the search box above. The latest post can be accessed at:

https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2019/02/9-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-insanity.html

Let’s get started:

1) Ocasio-Cortez has a bachelor’s degree in economics. She is a former bartender. She has not advanced degree, she has no climate science experience or education, and she has never done any known research on climate.

And yet she has confidently and stupidly proclaimed to the world that the world will end in about dozen years unless we immediately tackle the likely myth of manmade climate change. And she wants us to follow her most inane New Green Deal plan to deal with the myth. 

So who should we believe, this novice adult or a former leader of Greenpeace, a long standing environmental advocate organization:

• Greenpeace co-founder, Patrick Moore, recently proclaimed that following Ocasio-Cortez and her New Green Deal plan woulds result in the demise of the human civilization.
• Specifically: “It would be basically the end of civilization if 85 percent of the world’s and and also 85 percent of the U.S.’s energy in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas were phased out over the next few years, like 10 years.”
• Furthermore: “Basically, they are opposed to approximately 98.5 percent of all the electricity that we are all using and nearly 100 percent of all the vehicle and transportation and ships and planes that we are using,” Moore stated.
• “So when I tweeted the other day and had a huge response — over 3 million impressions on Twitter — when I said ‘You don’t have a plan to feed 8 billion people without fossil fuels or get the food into the cities where it’s needed.’ That requires large trucks, and there’s not going to be electric trucks anytime soon hauling 40 tons of food into the supermarkets, where the people in the cities probably thinks it originates in the supermarket,” he explained.
• “That will spread out as a rot from the center of metropolises all across the country and half the population will die in a very short period of time.” 
• He went on to correctly and logically point out that if her plan was implemented, there would not be any trees left on the planet since wood would become the only viable energy source.

So who are you going to believe, a leading, experienced environmental friend of the Earth or a former bartender from NYC? Seems like a no brainer.

2) For a person who is quite young with very little worldly experience, besides living in a alternative reality, she really should keep her mouth shut most of the time before she says something, insults someone, or makes a fool of herself. 

Speaking a recent gathering of liberals, she proclaimed that the current state of America is “garbage” and that Ronald Reagan “pitted” white working class Americans against non-whites to “screw over all working class Americans.”

Specifically: “One perfect example, I think a perfect example, of how special interests and the powerful have pitted white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans in order to just screw over all working-class Americans, is Reaganism in the ’80s when he started talking about welfare queens.”

Then she blurted out this thought which I can still not figure out what it means from a logic and historical perspective: “So you think about this image of welfare queens and what he was really trying to talk about was … this, like, really resentful vision of essentially black women who were doing nothing that were ‘sucks’ on our country.”

Not content to have one nonsensical statement she followed it up with this nonsensical statement: “And it’s this whole tragedy-of-the-commons type of thinking where it’s, like, because these one, this one specific group of people, that you are already kind of subconsciously primed to resent, you give them a different reason that’s not explicit racism but still rooted in a racist caricature. It gives people a logical reason, a ‘logical’ reason to say, ‘oh yeah, no, toss out the whole social safety net.'”

So let’s do a little analysis of her remarks:

• America is “garbage” but millions and millions of non-Americans want to come here and live, certainly not a sign of a garbage society.
• Americans donated over $400 billion to charities last year out of their hard earned earnings to help others who are less fortunate in their communities, certainly not a sign of a garbage society.
• The Federal government takes American tax money and sends it overseas as foreign aid to help those in other countries, certainly not a sign of a garbage society.
• Americans probably spend millions of hours a year volunteering in their communities to help others, being it building houses via Habitat For Humanity, working in food banks, etc, certainly not a sign of a garbage society.
• The American economic system has raised the quality of life of its citizens to the highest level in the history of humanity, it currently has resulted in historically low unemployment rates in minority communities it has generated substantial economic and wage gains over the past two years, and it has resulted in incredible technology advancements such as Google, Facebook, smartphones, medical advancements, etc.
• The Reagan comments she tries to spin, unsuccessfully into racism remarks, happened in the 1970s, not the 1980s, so just from a timeline perspective she is again wrong.
• Reagan was not trying to get rid of welfare and support of needy Americans, he was trying to clean up welfare abuse ands save the taxpayers money, certainly not a racist thing to do.
• It is tough to take anyone seriously and view them as a mature adult when they have to often interject the word “like” into their comments, “ talk about was … this, like, really resentful vision", “where it’s, like, because these," etc.

My gosh, she certainly put did herself with this speech and conversation. Dates are wrong, topics are wrong, her conclusions are wrong, and the concept that America is garbage is unbelievably wrong. But all of this is par for the course with her.

3) Let’s finish her insanity off today with some further comments she recently made with us annotating the parts of her vocabulary which show how immature and shallow her ideas are: 

• “I think the thing that is really hard for people to sometimes see is that when we are on this path of a slow erosion and a slow, slow, slow, just, LIKE, move away from what we’ve always been, we’ll be a hundred miles, you’ll, you know you won’t even realize that you’ve drifted a hundred miles.”
• “So, when someone’s talking about our core, it’s, LIKE, ‘oh this is radical.’ But this isn’t radical, this is what we’ve always been."
• “And this idea of, LIKE, 10 percent better from garbage, is, shouldn’t be what we settle for. It’s LIKE this, LIKE, it feels LIKE ‘moderate’ is not a stance, it’s just an attitude toward life of, LIKE, hmmm.”

I’m sorry, even if what she said contained even an inkling of common sense, which it does not, I cannot take someone seriously who talks LIKE a 14 year old valley girl.

More Ocasio-Cortez gaffes, insanity, and idiotic ideas to follow.

Hillary and Barack: Liar, Liar, Pants (suit) On Fire, A Historical Perspective, Part 2

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." John F. Kennedy

I was originally going to write a post on the amazing number of outright lies that Hillary Clinton has put forth, both recently and historically. And there are a lot of them, making her no different than every other Washington politician. However, in researching her lies, I continued to come across the dozens and dozens of lies and deceptions of the current White House president, Barack Obama. Thus, as a warm up to today’s Hillary Clinton’s parade of lies, yesterday we reviewed the over seven years worth of lies and deceptions from the Obama administration.

Today, we will get to the original intent, reviewing the lies of Hillary Clinton over the years. The first and longest set of lies is based on the work of the Politifact website. The purpose of this website is to research and grade whether a politician's statement is true or false. It leans Democratic and liberal so when I find that it rates a Democrat’s statement as false it is usually REALLY false. Thus, the following review of Clinton lies is based on the fact finding and opinions of Politifact, not me:

Hillary Clinton: “The Clean Power Plan is something that Senator Sanders has said he would delay implementing.” 

Politifact: False. Sanders has said he supports the Clean Power Plan.

Hillary Clinton: “You are three times more likely to be able to get a mortgage if you’re a white applicant than if you’re black or Hispanic, even if you have the same credentials.”

Politifact: False

Hillary Clinton: “We now have more jobs in solar than we do in oil.”

Politifact: False

Hillary Clinton: "I am the only candidate on either side who has laid out a specific plan about what I would do to defeat ISIS.”

Politifact: False. While she may have the longest and most detailed plan, she is hardly the only candidate with a plan and no one knows if it is a good plan.

Hillary Clinton: “Every piece of legislation, just about, that I have ever introduced (in the Senate) had a Republican co-sponsor.”

Politifact: False

Hillary Clinton: “We now have driven (healthcare) costs to the lowest they've been in 50 years.”

Politifact: False. And anyone who reads our monthly series of posts under the theme, “The Unfolding Disaster That Is Obama Care” knows that this is nowhere close to being true in any which way.

Hillary Clinton: “ISIS is going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”

Politifact: False. No evidence had emerged or was provided when she issued that statement. However, terrorist recruiting videos featuring her husband have emerged.

Hillary Clinton: “The gun industry is the only business in America that is wholly protected from any kind of liability.”

Politifact: False

Hillary Clinton: “The Benghazi probe is the longest running Congressional investigation ever.”

Politifact: False. With Politifact’s added commentary, “not by a long shot.”

Hillary Clinton: She stated that Wisconsin governor Scott Walker rejected state legislation to make college loan payments tax deductible and the result was “to raise taxes on students.” 

Politifact: False. The proposed legislation never even made it to the governor’s desk to sign never mind him vetoing.

Hillary Clinton: “Not one of the 17 GOP candidates has discussed how the’d address the rising cost of college.”

Politifact: False. Politifact specifically cited Rubio as having a plan.

Hillary Clinton: "Hedge fund managers pay less in taxes than nurses and truck drivers.”

Politifact: False. Politifact commented that even given extreme leeway in interpreting her comments that it is not true.

Hillary Clinton: “All of my grandparents immigrated to America.”

Politifact: False. Close, if you assume that one out of her four grandparents is “all.” 

Hillary Clinton: "The number of jobs created and people lifted out of poverty during Bill Clinton’s Presidency was a hundred times what it was under president Ronald Reagan."

Politifact: False. Not even close.

Hillary Clinton: “[Senator] McCain still thinks it’s okay when women don’t earn equal pay for equal work.”

Politifact: False. McCain never said any such thing, he just disagreed with a proposed bill on the subject.

Hillary Clinton: “If you are driving on average in America this summer you’ll save - according to Department of Energy figures, about $70.”

Politifact: False

Hillary Clinton: "I actually started criticizing the war in Iraq before [Obama] did."

Politifact: False. Clinton actually voted to go to war in Iraq while Obama voted against the move.

Hillary Clinton: “Obama only wants your children to have health insurance.”

Politifact: False. All of Obama's failed health insurance plans include adults also.

Hillary Clinton: She claimed that the difference between her and Barack Obama is “about 35 years of experience.”

Politifact: False. Which they sarcastically described Hillary with experience but not at math.

Hillary Clinton: “It’s just outrageous that under President Bush, the National Institutes of Health have been basically decreased in funding.”

Politifact: False. NIH funding was up under Bush.

There you have it, twenty blatant Hillary Clinton lies. The troubling thing about these twenty lies is that they are easily researched to see if they are false, something that the Politifact folks did. What other things has she falsely said or asserted that have not been checked out or which are difficult to check out? I am pretty sure that these are not the only twenty false deceptions she has uttered over the years.

The other troubling aspect of these lies and the lies and deceptions of all politicians is this: do they actually believe the lies themselves or do they hold us in such contempt that they think that we are too stupid to see through the lies? If they actually believe their own lies, than we as a nation are in big trouble since if they do not understand reality, their chances of being successful in reality are next to nothing.

And if they think we are too stupid to see through their lies than we have really devolved into a two part society: the elite and condescending political class and the rest of us, mistrusting each other so much that no issues ever get resolved as we play the cat and mouse game of who’s lying and who’s too stupid to understand they are being lied to.

But twenty lies is just the beginning. Consider the other lies she has spewed and have proven to be false:

• Long ago when she landed in Bosnia, she claimed that her entourage came under sniper fire and they had to hurry into waiting vehicles to get safely away. However, actual video of her landing shows that sniper fire was not present or close to being present.
• She claimed that the emails she deleted off of her private server when she was Secretary of State included a multitude of emails that she and her husband had exchanged. However, video proof shows her husband claiming that he had used the Internet only twice in his life and that was to order something from Amazon, not communicate with his wife as she asserted.
• Hillary recently claimed that she had always been in favor of gay marriage. But again, actual video of her shows her claiming that marriage is a sacred vow between a man and a woman. She did not even try to use the Obama flip flop defense when his attitude on gay marriage “evolved,’ she just outright lied.
• Hillary has recently claimed that she was against the NAFTA treaty, but as always, historical video shows that she was a big advocate of NAFTA long ago.
• Andf who can forget her assertion long ago that she and her husband were the victims of a vast right wing conspiracy, a conspiracy that was never proven to exist.
• And most recently, and most atrociously, she recently asserted that: "Now, is Libya perfect? It isn’t. Libya was a different kind of calculation and we didn’t lose a single person … We didn’t have a problem in supporting our European and Arab allies in working with NATO.” - Seems to me that we lost four brave Americans in Libya, Benghazi specifically. All because her and this administration did not take dozens of security warnings seriously and who refused to send help to save the lives of dozens of trapped Americans, four of whom who died.

Pathetic excuse for a leader, pathetic excuse for someone trying to be President. Lies, deceptions, and denial, lord help us.
