Friends, you have to hand it to the Left. They've really taken the old saying to heart: "Never let a good crisis go to waste." They're dreaming up all kinds of ways to bend this mysterious pandemic to their will. Want voting-by-mail? Coronavirus! Think society is racist? Coronavirus! Hate Donald Trump? Coronavirus! And now...want more wind and solar power? You guessed it: Coronavirus! They're inventive little buggers, aren't they? Check out my latest article, which dissects the latest effort by the wind and solar lobby to squeeze more subsidies out of the American taxpayer. Egads!

NOT surprising at all! In fact, I suspect that the leftists dregs would come up with some b s like this. AOC must be very happy that the New Green Deal is kicking in. With that said, I am going to start referring to our Democrats as the DEMOVIRUS PARTY. By God, these fine Americans have earned the title!
ReplyDeleteWell...now...(being a tad bit sarcastic) Let's see, Venice's waterways have cleared up, the air quality is better and so on since the world has proclaimed the shut down and there are hardly any planes flying (thank goodness you can't see the eye roll).
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ray, not surprising at all. Very interesting article, Dr. Waddy.

DeleteSpeaking of pandemics, back in 2013, a writer by the name of A.R. Shaw began a series of novels dealing with (at that time) "fictional" pandemics, and one of the titles was "The China Pandemic." I find this very interesting, to say the least.
Ray/Linda, you're right -- there's nothing at all surprising in the Left's weaponization of COVID-19. If they were to rally around the flag and admit their own share of mistakes, well, THAT would be surprising!
ReplyDeleteI learned just today that the Dems in Albany took the opportunity of the pandemic to slip something into the budget that could FORCE local communities to accept wind farms. Not that I'm against windmills -- I actually think some of them are rather elegant -- but I'd rather let private property owners and local zoning boards make these decisions, not Albany politicians.
Yes, I read that too. I find it disturbing that most New Yorkers haven't a clue or just don't care, perhaps because most are hardworking individuals. I just don't know.
DeleteHow about Ice Water/Castor Oil enemas at 2 a.m. as a possible cure for COVID-19? Maybe that's what the people over in Albany need.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray (grin) I about spat out my coffee. LOL
DeleteLinda,
DeleteI heard that the left wing ruling elite pukes might put your governor up as the presidential candidate to replace Biden. Have you heard that rumor?
Oh he claims he is not interested, Ray. I say, lie. We shall see my friend.
DeleteRay: We've been bandying that possibility around for a while. Dr. Waddy maintains, and I think he is probably right, that it is only a slight possibility. But what if Biden got the virus? Even then, Cuomo would have to deign to travel to fly over country (your part of America God bless it)and his loathing for it would be impossible to conceal. Oh yes, he'd try to disguise it with patronizing sleaze. But he doesn't even try in that part of NY which is more like your America than his downstate NYC fief. Consider Shakespeare's Coriolanus; he had to stoop to ask the Roman "mob's" indulgence and he almost swooned at it. So would that consummate elitist snob we are burdened with in NY, when grudgingly among real Americans. And it would SHOW!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: Ditto, ditto. EG. Schumer has "risen" to the task as expected, with characteristic sneering excoriation of the President. The left daily reaffirms what we on our side have known for ever so long: "by any means necessary" including cynical misuse of an unprecedented crisis. Take heed America, take heed! Consider Russia in 1917 after three years of harrowing warfare. Since "climate change" and the possibility it presents the left for a complete derailing of our economy and culture who can doubt that they will follow up on the windfall of opportunity the present crisis presents them. This is now an ever so much MORE existential conflict than the real America faced but 3 months ago. Consider England in February of 1940 and then May of that year. They faced up to it, appallingly unexpected as it was and if we value everything we cherish, our hard earned, painfully evolved national cultural and political heritage, that beyond precious blessing, than we must heed the clarion call of such as yourself and your fellow heralds. The left already knows this is their greatest opportunity to achieve totalitarian sway, though all unlooked for at this time, they have ever watched for it. We must meet and defeat them in their hour of greatest resolve!
Dr. Waddy: And to that end, it is so very apparent; Support President Trump!. Yes, he will make mistakes in this unprecedented time but his mind, his heart and his indomitable courage are WITH US! The left is FULLOUT for his destruction and the imposition of their surely rapidly advanced totalitarian takeover, using to full advantage the "temporary" opportunities fortuitously presented them now. They have always hoped for something like this;they were facing probable marginalization from American political life and power after Nov. 2020. Now they they are heartened and motivated by this all unlooked for windfall. Stand against them now : DENY IT THEM! How? By supporting a man who, at age 70, gave up a most comfortable life to stand for us. Now we MUST stand for him; it is his due and the saving of our country, no less.
ReplyDeleteLinda, the Dems and lefties are smart: they know how to slip things in through the back door. They're most dangerous, in fact, when they're acting by stealth!
ReplyDeleteRay/Jack, you know I don't worry much about Cuomo's potential candidacy for the presidency, insofar as the Dems already have their nominee, but it's true that if Biden were incapacitated, or self-incapacitates, then all bets would be off. Even then, I don't think it would be smooth sailing for Cuomo. People like Warren and Bernie would feel entitled.
Jack, I agree that, very soon, the coronavirus news will fade and the country will turn, as before, to the 2020 election. The Left will indeed stop at nothing to prevail...but they will be hamstrung by their, uh, remarkable candidate. It's going to be quite a ride!
Dr. Waddy: A faction willing to do anything to prevail should be fully expected to continue being willing to do anything once it takes full power.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it was a good thing that the people of Russia and China could not imagine the horror which was to be their post Revolutionary lot. But we have the 20th century as irrefutable evidence of how it is when modern totalitarians take over.
Chekov's Uncle Vanya presents a telling picture of late 19th century middle class Russians unaware of the approach of the deluge and its incalculable madness.Its a rough analogy but we might do well to consider that possibility for ourselves unless we face the plausible prospects presented us by the clearly expressed intent of the American left to destroy all we cherish .
Linda, I don't watch Cuomo's interminable press conferences, so I haven't seen him deny interest in the presidency. So you find his protestations less than credible?
ReplyDeleteJack, you're absolutely right -- our blinkered bourgeois minds can't imagine the horror of true Bolshevism. The study of history is one of the only antidotes to this sort of smallmindedness. Unfortunately it isn't exactly thriving in early 21st century America...
Dr. Waddy: Who could have perceived the intentions of such as Stalin, Mao and PolPot, before they ascended? Only we can,of their contemporary avatars, given our historical information. Our informed foresight must be paramount, lest the subhumans once again rule!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy: Was just watching a documentary on Stalin; its almost incredible and it IS unimaginable. I still can't understand how anyone could gain that much power and how it was endured by so many for so long. There must be reasons; we know it happened after all. I've got to reread Conquest's Stalin: Breaker of Nations. ANYONE who admires or emulates him today, without having experienced the horror he wrought, is beyond contempt. But his sociopathic determination does live on in the intentions of many who seek power today, even in our country. Its beyond appalling but its true and we must face it. Tyranny of minds like his, though perhaps short of his incalculable destruction, is clearly the intent of a significant faction of the left.
