The Flea Party’s cheerleaders

Nothing is off limits to the Flea Party parasites, and their Leftist media enablers just cheer them on, even when it comes to frightening little children on their way to school. Their way to school went through Wall Street, where the tiny Flea Party of a few hundred unwashed, unskilled anarchists, socialists and other nanny-state lovers prattled on about “income inequality”—with their own palms out, of course.

And while they’re at it they’ll even try to damage the limping economy.

The most revealing thing about these lame Flea Party “occupations” of a mere one or two city blocks in several large cities has been the support they’ve had from Democrat politicians, up to and including the Obamalot White House, and especially Obamalot’s media lapdogs,  the WaPo and the NYTimes. All have inflated the significance of the Flea Party encampments on public land while minimizing the rapes, murders, disease and lack of potty training.

This media behavior underscores conservative Stanford economist Thomas Sowell’s old assertion that the Fourth Estate really is a propagandistic Fifth Column actively undermining the country. The same media ridiculed the much, much larger (many thousands more) middle-class Tea Party, despite their wholly-peaceful (and squeaky clean) demeanor.

Not to mention drawing the sneers of the Leftist politicians whose elite comfort is threatened by the TP’s continuing campaign (via politicians like Herman Cain) for smaller government, lower taxes and fewer handouts for the Flea Party & Friends. Only the TP is likely to influence the 2012 elections which will, indeed, be a national IQ test: are you stupid enough to vote for Obamalot again and four more years of this stuff?

Nanny news: Disabling your cell phone

Speaking of the overpaid executive branch, the Democrats haven’t figured out the less-government push of the recent election yet. Now they want to disable your cell phone while you’re driving. What this amounts to is the classic bureaucratic mindset: Do what we want or we’ll force you to do it.

Land of the free? I think not.

Nanny strike

Giving a six-year-old a clasp knife is pretty stupid to begin with, even when it also contains a fork and a spoon. But suspending him from school (and making him do 45 days in the district’s reform school as a further punishment) because he brought it to the cafeteria to show off and eat with is, well, about what you can expect these days from the Nanny State and its public school minions. They’re experts in making Everests out of ant hills. No wonder school vouchers are so popular.

Via Instapundit. And Best of The Web Today, which notes that the 45 days is "more time than Roman Polanski initially spent in captivity for raping a 13-year-old girl.
