Do as I say, not as I do
Most of you know that New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine was involved in a horrific crash that left him with multiple injuries. When I read the story, I saw a clear message that I would bet few people thought about.
I wish the governor a full and speedy recovery and realize that there is a long road ahead of him. What was interesting about this incident was that the Governor was apparently not wearing a seatbelt, something that is the law in New Jersey. I could not help but think about how clearly this illustrates the modern liberal mantra.
Liberals preach to all of us about what we should and should not do. They even dictate what we can and can not say. State governments have decided that drivers are required to wear seatbelts. This law makes good sense since it saves lives and should be common sense for most people by now.
Is it just me or is there an instructional analogy in the fact that Gov. Corzine was not wearing a seatbelt and that this runs contrary to what NJ government tells citizens they are expected to do? Isn’t this just like the left? Isn’t this just like Teddy Kennedy or Al Sharpton? Isn’t this just like Al Gore with global warming or the mayor of San Francisco with gay marriage?
Most will lament that the Governor would have probably faced fewer injuries had be been belted in. I would add to that the fact that he wouldn’t be a prime example of liberal hypocrisy either.
