I was reminded of how a beloved member of our crew used to ask, “don’t results count?” when reading several articles over the last week.

First up is about Democratic Party members of Congress turning on the implementation of POR-care, as if they didn’t vote for it to find out what was in it. The key point is that bad results are so obvious they must be admitted, then must be blamed on some one else (the appartchiks¹ in this case).

Next we had the proprietor of Harry’s Place basically blame Republicans for the failure of the Los Angeles City government².

How can I not mention the outrage in France over a CEO’s comments?

Or a DNC member implying Chicago’s murder rate is the fault of Congressional Republicans. This is a two-fer since the sequestration came from the Obama Administration to start with.

So remember kids, results count only when you can blame some one other than a collectivist.

¹ The apparatchiks must share some of the blame because they’ve been corrupt, greedy, and incompetent, but certainly not the majority of it.

² One should note the original post is as clear an example of “socialism is the equal sharing of misery” as I have ever seen.
