Have their cake?

Ok so here is the thing. It has come to my attention that the liberals want to “have their cake and eat it too.” That was a statement once used to indicate that people are greedy and selfish and they don’t want to use something because they like having it but the whole point to having it is to use it.

Better yet let me use the Bible for an example.
In the old testament we read about how David lusted after another man’s wife (Uriah). Now this woman was, Apparently, quite the “hottie” and so David conspired to kill Uriah so that David could have Uriah’s wife.

One day a prophet came and confronted David over his sinful behavior but used an allegorical tale to get the point across.

The prophet told David a story about how there was a man who had a whole bunch of sheep; this man had a neighbor who only had one sheep.
One day the man with a whole bunch of sheep wanted to throw a party, in order to feed his guests he stole the one sheep from his neighbor and killed and cooked that sheep instead of one of his own.

When David declared that to be a heinous act the prophet pointed out to David that the man with many sheep was David himself, the man with one sheep was Uriah. Because David, even though he had a lot of wives AND concubines, stole the ONE wife of Uriah (in such a way that there was no way to return the stolen property).

You see? The man in this story, much like David himself, but more importantly to MY purpose this is the same concept of having it and eating it too. (or maybe it’s “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence“…?)

David had everything he could want and then some. Uriah had only the one wife. But David was not content to enjoy what he had, he had to have everything of everyone else‘s.

That is what I see the liberals doing. They make claims and accusations about what horrors the conservatives are unleashing, wanting the people to “rise up” against the “totalitarians” of conservatism. (Hillary Clinton was quoted as saying “it is good for the American people to be able to question their gov’t” during Bush‘s presidency)

But when they do EXACTLY the same thing/s that they whined about conservatives doing they claim that they only have the best interests of the people in mind and any move to challenge the appropriateness of their actions are all just scare tactics and conservative bullying. (and we need to stop all these hateful people who dare to speak out against the government as per Hillary Clinton et al)

Which is to say… Why is it o.k. for Hillary Clinton to question and cast aspersions on Bush and his administration but it is NOT o.k. to do the same now that a democrat is in office? When she did it to Bush it was patriotic. When it is done to Obama it is terrorism or racism. I mean what is up with that?

Points in case…
Q: Why was President Bush so “evil”?

A: he got us into a war in Iraq. (but wait we are still there a year and a half after Obama took over) yeah but he is doing it for the “right reasons”. HUH?

Or…
A: Bush paid off those big banks and fat cats on wall street. (re: T.A.R.P. and stimulus)
Well now wait a minute, Obama spent TWICE as much or more, in his first two months, on exactly the same thing.

How about…
A: Bush put in the patriot act and listened to our phone calls.
Well now there you have me yeah he did that, oh but wait, Obama REINSTITUED the patriot act and now he listens to our phone calls AND reads our emails.
(that’s right the patriot act was due to expire and Obama not only went out of his way to continue it, he expanded it.)

A: Bush had prisoners at Guantanamo bay. Yep and they are still there under Obama’s watch too

A: There was not enough transparency in Bush’s admin. And Obama’s health care bill was all out in the open? I don’t think so. Even the liberal media hacks had to admit that Obama was not having an open gov’t there.

A: There isn’t enough bipartisanship in Bush’s admin.

Again looking at the healthcare bill which was passed without A Single republican vote…

A: Bush forced congress to pass bills he wanted but congress wanted to look at closer.
Funny but while I do not remember Bush “forcing” anything through congress, I DO remember Obama PUBLICLY berating congressional republicans that they “HAD TO” pass his stimulus package because “every day that we wait a million more Americans suffer” and then after he PUBLICLY FORCED congress to pass the bill HE wanted over their objections he took a three day vacation before he signed it. So apparently it was O.K. by him that three MILLION Americans (his hubris not mine) would suffer so he could have a vacation two months into his presidency. But congress HAD to pass it RIGHT AWAY without really looking at it so “Americans would not have to suffer” ?

So I guess in the end I have to say… I do not understand. Why was Bush so awful, while Obama is so great? They did the same things they do the same things, the same problems exist. And that is what makes me think the democrats are all simply hate filled.

Think about it. If Bush was evil for it then Obama should be even more so. I do NOT think that Bush did everything right but I do think he did a reasonable job under trying circumstances. But Obama is doing all the things wrong that Bush did wrong, he isn’t facing the same problems (he has it easy) and he is getting a pass where Bush didn‘t but Obama has none of the redeeming qualities of Bush.
He is a poor leader where I thought Bush was a good one, Obama has shown himself to be filled with deceit and coercion while I believe Bush treated us as fairly and honestly as he could.
