My Standards Come Double

Liberals have two faces. The one that we see in front of the camera is the "We're for everyone and everything, and we abide by the rules that are the foundational moral code of this country" face. The one that we see most often is disturbingly the face that seems to be ignored or missed by the American public. This is the face of the double standard. It's amazing to me that after actually listening to a liberal speak that anyone would take them seriously. It's just so obvious to me that they hold everyone besides themselves to the laws of this country while they can parade around doing as they please. Like......animals.

Let's start with a Kennedy. I would love nothing more than to touch on Ted Kennedy and the embarrassment he's brought on this country over the years, but I'll save that for another day. I'll talk about Rep. Patrick Kennedy. Now here's a good guy. It seems that he falls right in line with his family history. Scandal. Deceit. Drunkenness. These are the three main ingredients in making a Kennedy. Touch it up with a nice suit, pretty smile, and a mistress by their side, and you've got a Kennedy in his truest form. It seems as though driving drunk (or high as he has denied that alcohol was involved in the crash) is something acceptable for the latest shame in the Kennedy family. Patrick decided after popping a few pills and/or "throwing a few back" that it would be a good idea to go for a little drive. After almost taking out a police officer and crashing into a construction barrier, he decided to admit himself into rehab. This is a congressmen. He is in an elected position of high esteem and he can't even stay sober. Of course all of his liberal buddies have his back. According to them this shouldn't affect the way we look at him and he should be able to maintain his office.

God forbid Americans want someone decent representing their state.

The story for Rush Limbaugh is similar except he didn't crash his car into anyone or anything. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even driving! Oh, but wait, he is a conservative Republican, maybe that's the real problem. He admitted himself into a rehab program after realizing that he was becoming addicted to pain medication that was actually prescribed to him. He's a radio personality. He doesn't hold a political office and although he does hold to his political opinion no one is forced to listen to him. For some reason this information is lost on the Left and it was all Rush could do to keep his job. The media were constantly at him to step down and he was forced to turn over his medical records as if he were the President. Which, I would like to point out, is a double standard I didn't even mean to bring up.
As is customary in this country when you run for/become President you are required to turn over your medical records. Clinton refused. Something to hide? Definitely. But our country was blinded by his charm and by golly that's all you need to be the leader of your nation. Why then was Limbaugh required to turn his records over? Need I point out the obvious?

And speaking of Clinton, let's bring up another double standard. Back in the days of the Clinton campaign some information leaked that Clinton tried marijuana. This produced the ever-famous "I did not inhale" line. Now I'm not going to imply that anyone, elected or not, is without the mistakes in life that only youth (or being a liberal) can bring. For Pete's sake though, was that excuse actually believable? This should have been a major indicator as to the character (or lack thereof) of this man. But as I said before he is charming.
In the campaigning days of our current leader information was brought forth that he had had an alcohol problem. He didn't deny it, he didn't try to sugar-coat it ("I did not swallow") he admitted to his problem, but also brought forth the fact the he overcame an obstacle in his life. Well, you'd have thought he killed a man. From that point on it was all the Left could talk about, which is understandable considering their candidates weren't much to comment on.

When are the people of this country going to open up their eyes? Cases like this occur almost daily in the liberal world but everyone is so focused on gas prices that they don't even recognize it. What's worse is that conservitives aren't screaming about this. It's time to put on your big boy britches America, I'm tired of being the man of the house.
