Tripping in his big boy pants

Bobby Jindal, GOP governor of Louisiana, wrote a rousing editorial for Politico. His aim is to tell his fellow party members to quit whining, get back to being conservative, and be ready when public opinion returns to their ideals. Because it will…

At some point, the American public is going to revolt against the nanny state and the leftward march of this president. I don’t know when the tipping point will come, but I believe it will come soon.

Why?

Because the left wants: The government to explode; to pay everyone; to hire everyone; they believe that money grows on trees; the earth is flat; the industrial age, factory-style government is a cool new thing; debts don’t have to be repaid; people of faith are ignorant and uneducated; unborn babies don’t matter; pornography is fine; traditional marriage is discriminatory; 32 oz. sodas are evil; red meat should be rationed; rich people are evil unless they are from Hollywood or are liberal Democrats; the Israelis are unreasonable; trans-fat must be stopped; kids trapped in failing schools should be patient; wild weather is a new thing; moral standards are passé; government run health care is high quality; the IRS should violate our constitutional rights; reporters should be spied on; Benghazi was handled well; the Second Amendment is outdated; and the First one has some problems too.

Their philosophy does not work and it got our nation into the mess it’s in.

Eventually Americans will rise up against this new era of big government and this new reign of politically correct terror. In the meantime Republicans — hold fast, get smarter, get disciplined, get on offense, and put on your big boy pants.

Whew! I usually don't bother with such conservative rants. But this one is just so … thorough. His belief that the left believes the earth is flat tells you all you need to know about his and the GOP's grip on reality. It was just yesterday I wrote a post about "one's opinion should include the evidence of one's senses."
