Pelosi's Daughter Should Be Grounded

So I was casually listening to the nightly lefty news provided by MSNBC's website, when I stumbled across this video. It really should have been cut in half, since the segments seem to diverge pretty severely, but alas you'll just have to sit through two segments from the best news show on television. The first half of the video details the bravery of Republicans in their fight to keep America from pulling itself up from the gutter.

The second half however, is an interview with Nancy Pelosi's daughter Alexandra. Now I point out that she is Nancy's daughter not because I think all children should languish in their parents shadows, but because she comes off as so dismissive and rude that the spoiled-Washington-brat-attitude is unmistakable. Not surprisingly, Rachel wasn't willing to take that attitude without fighting back.

I am all for respecting other's view points and recognizing that we as Americans can disagree. However, I think that pretending that all viewpoints are equal, is a disservice to those who study and toil to make sure that their beliefs are well founded and well reasoned. Does that make me a partisan? Sure it does. Does it make them any less idiotic? No, and just to drive that point home...

"When Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression. ... He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That's just history." - Representative Steve Austria of Ohio

Now, I don't want to discount the struggle it took for a grown man to live this long and yet be so ill-informed, but being wrong is a far more passive venture than being right. Let us not forget this is an elected official not just a republican foot soldier. When one side is so intellectually bankrupt from the top of the party to the bottom, should we really lament our differences? I for one celebrate them.
