Democrats: The Party of Theft

Posted on | July 24, 2014 | 22 Comments

It’s not merely that they steal money from taxpayers. Democrats are just generally dishonest and untrustworthy:

Senator John Walsh of Montana took most of a 2007 final paper required for his master’s degree from the United States Army War College from other sources without proper attribution. Mr. Walsh copies an entire page nearly word-for-word from a Harvard paper, and each of his six conclusions is copied from a document from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace without attribution.

This revelation of Walsh’s defective character is only regarded by Democrats as problem because it might cost them an election:

Walsh was appointed to the Senate five months ago to fill Max Baucus’s vacancy; it’s not impossible to win as a Democrat in Montana, as both Baucus and Jon Tester can tell you, but it’s difficult as a short-term incumbent in a political climate that’s trending GOP. The rosiest polls for Walsh right now have him trailing Republican Steve Daines by around seven points. The bleakest polls have him down 20 or more. (The RCP average has Daines by 12.5 points.)

Somebody ought to write a book about this.

    I think it was humorist Fan Lebowitz who said, “Original Thought is like Original Sin. They both happened a long time ago to people you could not possibly have met.”

    That said, it’s amazing that people still try to get away with plagiarizing others’ works, given that discovery is so, so much easier in the age of Google.

    Walsh has claimed that PTSD caused him to cheat. Someone must explain how that happened, because it escapes me. We also should know if Walsh still suffers from PTSD before he’s elected to anything. It appears his explanation/ excuse is as flawed and disqualifying as his moral reasoning.

    Maybe Walsh wants to be vice president someday…

    Thank God he only had 14 pages of PTSD, hey?

    Ed Driscoll of PJ Media got it right when he said that Democrats are, “A criminal enterprise masquerading as a political party.”

    Most experts believe PTSD is treatable, but not curable.
    Do we really want a Senator who may go crazy at any time?
    (If that’s his excuse, he’s going to have to own up to the implications)

    Note also the recent study done in Germany finding that the more a person is exposed to socialism, the more prone to dishonesty/cheating they are.

    Unless one happens to be a “journalist.”

    I think Google must have a filter that limits results—if you are a reporter doing research—to just two items, selected at random from Media Matters.

    That seems awfully short for a Master’s Thesis, don’t you think? I gather that the War College’s standards have declined significantly over the last 25 years.

    You mean “retire him” permanently? I’m not counseling violence, just political defeat.

    Of course not, counseling violence might be illegal.

    No, it’s just that Reporters must all wear something like Joo Janta Peril-Sensitive sunglasses, which prevent them from discovering that Google exists.
