STUCK IN A TIME WARP...AGAIN

LEFTIE DOC BLAMES BUSH FOR MINORITY HOME FORCLOSURES

SECOND-GENERATION LIB ACTIVISTS CONTINUE TREND IN LOOK BACK

First it was stuck in the Sixties, now the Nineties on the endless loop

Variety, the entertainment news of record, is reporting the release of a documentary AMERICAN CASINO, released by Table Rock Films, produced and directed by Leslie and Andrew Cockburn.

The flick explores the root of the current mortgage crisis with interviews with evil bankers and unfortunate minority homebuyers who were tricked, manipulated and conned into buying more house than they could afford. 

The bankers admitted onscreen (although they were in shadow for obvious reasons) that they manipulated the numbers on the mortgages- inflating the worth of the homebuyers and deflating the numbers of the actual cost to the investors then quickly sold off the loans to investors and holding companies to make obscene profits with no risk. 

The anti-Bush sentiment rears its ugly head when there is a scene where President Bush proudly announces the rise in minority home ownership.

This is another example of BushBashing from the leftielibs without regard for historical context. Anyone with any memory at all should recall that the leftielibs were howling about banks and mortgage companies being racist for not lending more blacks money for new homes and that their lapdogs in Congress, Barney Frank and the Black Caucus, pressured the industry to extend a hand to rectify this historical bias under threat of Congressional action. 

Thus, the doors were opened to this economic freefall by the very persons who howl the loudest about the economic freefall, and they have no shame in blaming the former President once again for decisions made by the Left supposedly to help the less fortunate. 

Natually, three "victims" of the unscrupulous bankers pour their hearts out bewailing the unfairness that they got the loans they sought but in the end they couldn't afford.  Lack of due diligence plays into their plight, but then, that would smack of personal responsibility and the Left would never advocate for that sort of hogwash.

The leftielibs used to be stuck in the Sixties, endlessly replaying the glory days of protests against the Establishment, tearing down the rules of civilization and promoting licence over freedom (yes, there is a difference) Now, they are stuck in the Nineties, endlessly blaming all of the ills of the world on Bush.
