The Liberal Dog Chases Its Tail
Liberals just don’t get it.
Bob Schwartz over at Politics and Hypocrisy doesn’t understand why rational people consider the school funding lawsuit utter nonsense while Initiated Measure 11 is perfectly legitimate.
One might as well ask why lemons are sour while red apples are sweet. One has no bearing on or legitimate taste comparison to the other.
The school funding lawsuit involves South Dakota schools (which are government entities) suing the state of South Dakota (which is a government entity) for more taxpayer funding…and using taxpayer funding to finance the lawsuit. Put another way, government is using taxpayer funds to sue itself for more taxpayer funding.
You know what that looks like, right?
And these are supposed to be the “smart people” in charge of our children’s education?
Besides, as I pointed out this morning, I homeschool on a fraction of the public school budget and get tremendously better results. The educrats are using bad math: More Money <> Better Results.
Initiated Measure 11, on the other hand, is a citizen-initiated petition measure to protect the lives of 98% of the unborn in South Dakota. If the people of South Dakota vote to approve the measure in November, it will become law in South Dakota.
That is, until some pro-abortion group like Planned Parenthood sues to stop it as they did with South Dakota’s informed consent law.
If and when that happens, will it be a government entity suing a government entity for more taxpayer funds?
The last time I checked, Planned Parenthood wasn’t a government entity. While it’s true that they receive about $337 million in taxpayer funding, that still doesn’t make them a government entity.
But I suppose if you want to assume for a moment, for the sake of argument, that Planned Parenthood is a government entity, then I suppose it would indeed be just as stupid as the school funding lawsuit.
But it wouldn’t be the supporters of Initiated Measure 11 initiating the tail-chasing activity: it would be the Planned Parenthood bunch suing to protect their access to a supply of blood money.
Of course, Planned Parenthood could do the responsible thing and not subject the taxpayers of South Dakota to the expense of a lawsuit…but will they? I won’t hold my breath, but it really will be Planned Parenthood’s “choice,” won’t it?
Maybe the liberals behind the school funding lawsuit (as well as the ones who would likely be behind a suit against IM 11) should just forgo the expensive lawsuits so we can have more money on hand to teach critical and logical thinking in our public education system.
With what passes for logic on the Left, society is in bad need of such training…
