Buckle Up Buckaroos The Kmala Harris Narrative Begins

Since she announced she was going to run in 2020, Harris has been everywhere. And I fear people are once again buying into a narrative without focusing on the actual record and essence of the person.

By all accounts, Harris is f average intelligence with a canned speaking style and an opportunistic politician. She was a heavy handed DA who now claims she'll be 'progressive'. Worse, she actually claims she was a progressive prosecutor but her record indicates otherwise. 

Then comes the news about her allegedly sleeping around to get into various prominent positions (phrasing!) that wasn't really denied by one Willie Brown - the guy who made it happen. More troubling are the sexual harassment allegations by interns. Oh, the irony after her cynical performance during the Kavanaugh hearings. Maybe she'll get a taste of her own medicine? A comeuppance of sorts? A man can dream, no?

How's that for feminism? And guess what? While they bash Gabbard, they back Harris.

You've seen the titles: Gabbard is not who you think she is!

And Harris is. You won't be getting those headlines regarding Harris's past record and behaviour because she's the 'chosen' one.

Before she even begins, her past behaviour are questionable. Yes, few politicians come in clean but when the information is available and clear, it's up to voters to think long and hard about what they'r doing. It's perhaps even a test to not vote along party lines and vote for someone who isn't so laughably corrupted.

Remember when people were over reacting after Trump's election saying idiotically immature things like 'what will we tell our children?' or 'our daughters?'

It always flips depending on what works for them. 
With Clinton, it was 'just a blow job' or 'sex' you tight asses! 
Then it flipped to - if Facebook is a good indicator - to the aforementioned daughter theatre. I suspect with Harris it will be some combination 'tight asses' and maybe she was raped because patriarchy or something. Who knows? It's hard to follow the mind of a progressive. 
Let me continue . In 2004, Kerry had to be President because he was a decorated combat veteran and Dubya was a dodger but in 2008 McCain was a warmongering monster. Follow?
In 2008 we needed the fresh new ideas of a young outsider, but in 2016 we needed an experienced veteran politician, not an anti-establishment candidate with different ideas.
Swing! Whatever works best for them at the time.

Gee, I wonder if they feel the same in this instance. I doubt it because the root of such inane uttering isn't principled. It's just emotional outbursts. 

She's already making bizarre noises. For example, the idea of doing away with private insurance (unfortunately moving America closer still to a - mediocre - Canadian system). By the way, just peruse around Reason magazine who has been covering her actual record.

It's unfortunate because the same thing happened in Canada. When Trudeau announced he'd run for office, the media glossed over his spectacular gaffes while citizens figged it was time for a change from Harper.

It was, to me, a massive miscalculation.

We now how have a situation where a country like Canada that depends on primary resources to drive  large portions of its growth and wealth is being made subservient to dubious Green policies. Worse, traditional natural resource based employment is being demonized by this government. Never mind that the Liberal party of Canada has introduced legislation via Bills 16. 69 and 103 that sets the tone of a regressive-progressive illiberal existence. These are terrible laws that cut right to the heart of what it means to be Canadian: To be free. To not submit established, sound science to ideology. To be a people proud of its Western liberal heritage. 

All these notions have been thwarted by the Trudeau Liberals I believe. Their behaviour is one of arrogance, hypocrisy, incompetence, deflection and sheer amateurism. Worse government I've seen yet in my lifetime.

In both Canada and the USA,  the traditional 'liberal' parties have pulled further left still. It's why they embrace so many socialists ideals and ideas. You end up with illiberal tarts like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I rather enjoy whenever she says something spectacularly stupid that demands an immediate response the come back is 'they're obsessed with her' and 'they're afraid of us'!

No shit. What you propose and the rhetoric you use has not only been seen before - ahem see early 20th century socialism right up to Venezuela - and is by its nature tiresome Marxist stupidities but mixed in with abject ignorance about how the economy works and calls to tax the rich make it a toxic mix.

It has to be challenged. Maybe we should be so obsessed in wanting to preserve the sanctity - or whats left of it - of our collective liberal heritage.

All these people. Harris, Trudeau, AOC and everyone in between them, are illiberal.

Tread carefully.

Buckle up buckaroos.
