Some politicians are flip-floppers…
…but Elizabeth Warren is just a flipper.
And also, I suppose, a hypocrite. Although it’s an interesting question: is a person who rails against “predatory banks and heartless foreclosures” allowed to profit from those foreclosures? Is Warren just against the institution profiting, as opposed to the individual—particularly if that individual is herself?
No-one of good heart, with a deeply felt concern for children, women, workers, the elderly, minorities, immigrants, illegal immigrants, the sick, the otherly enabled, the differently intelligent, the multiply normal, and the sexually miswired, may be assumed to have done anything wrong – ever.
If anyone has a problem with the concept of secular antinomianism of the elite then they are clearly, in this case, sexist aboriginiphobes.
There is also a great misunderstanding about her history of Native American roots. What she meant to say is that she has 32 parts for her old Jeep Cherokee in the garage. Never can tell when you might need a new axle.
Uh, isn’t that like condemning theft and then excusing oneself for purchasing stolen goods? She’s the one who believes that the banks have duped homeowners out of what is rightfully theirs, so it is definitely hypocrisy to then purchase these foreclosed homes.
Liz says on her website, “…….a deregulated credit industry (that) squeezed families harder, hawking dangerous mortgages.” Most of those mortgages (liar loans, low down loans, teaser rate loans, interest only loans, etc.) were only dangerous to those who bought the mortgage backed securities (MBSs) they ended up in and the taxpayers who had to bail out the banks with the MBSs. The politicians (Dodd & Frank), the activists (Acorn, etc.), and the mortgage brokers (hundreds of small shops in California, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Florida) were all safe.
Liz managed to do a bit of high interest lending herself. Of course her brother only held the place for three months so she didn’t collect much interest. Of interest is the fact that her relatives were pretty sharp in buying and profitably flipping houses in Oklahoma City. Don’t tell me the Cherokees don’t know how to get even with the white eyes. :>)
Warren may give lip service to socialist policies and ideas, but underneath that Red exterior she’s just a greedy, grasping capitalist.
But, it’s ok, because she’s liberal. Not an evil white guy.
I remember driving through our childhood neighborhood, a few years ago, with my sister. We knew many of the people who lived in the new, expensive-looking homes that had recently been built, both of us saying, “how can they afford that nice of a house, when we, who are 20-30 years older, and make a lot more money than they, can’t?” Well, now I know. And now we pay for it. Not only the houses themselves, but all the re-fis that paid for their fancy vacations, boats, clothes, jewelry… Boy do I feel like a sucker.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine, “I piss on you all from a great height.”
That is the essence of the likes of Warren and all elitists. Warren believes she is entitled. She believes her caca has no odor. She is joined at the hip with BHO and countless other pretenders.
George Pal: That’s scary.
Is it just me or does it seem like conservative female politicians are much more physically attractive than liberal ones to others?
Un f’n believable!
After she won 96% of the votes in her party caucus yesterday, Elizabeth Lieawatha Warren apparently told supporters that if she were elected to the Senate, she would be the first “Native America Senator.” (see http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/06/phony-indian-elizabeth-warren-said-if-elected-she-will-be-mas-first-native-american-senator-video/)
The woman is just plain nuts, certifiable.
Because the middle class has got hammered, that’s her qualification. She means to help god damn it. And it’s just not nice to ask if she’s a hypocrite because what she did doesn’t compare to what she we will do, don’t ya know. She might not stop herself from creating wealth without jobs, but she’ll certainly stop others.
You can count on that because she says so.
All Socialists are Capitalists in their private lives. ALL.
