Does Alcee Hastings Have A Point?

Posted on | May 21, 2010 | 10 Comments

It is an endless source of startlement when listening to the Left, how words suddenly don’t mean what you think they do. Call it linguistic Progress. One example is how the word ‘illegal’ ceased to mean ‘not legal’ in an immigration context.

Another is how the ‘Cut’ in YouCut moved from being associated with budgetary sanity and became tied with terrorism.

  1. What is Osama bin Laden? A terrorist.
  2. What do terrorists do? Cut off heads.
  3. What dots does Alcee Hastings likely hope the audience will connect in this soundbite? YouCut participants are terrorists.


The minor premise that the Congress is not accountable to the people is equally well-founded. Thank you for this winner, FL-23.

    Mr Alcee, Its the lack of your House’s financial responsibility in controlling spending that has brought about such programs.

    Alcee does have a point, and back when he had hair, he could comb over it and no one would notice!

    There are only two things you need to know about Alcee Hastings:
    1. He is an impeached federal judge.

    2. He is an impeached federal judge.

    Oh, before I forget, he was impeached as a federal judge. And people voted for him. Tsk tsk, Florida.

    Hastings is like the New York Times: the only thing he consistently gets right is the date.

    RES: If Alcee Hastings told me that the current date is “Today”, I still wouldn’t believe him.
