Another Fine Example...

The Mecklenburgers

Liberals are idiots.

I mean it. They just think wrong. Maybe it was some bad vaccine during childhood. Maybe their mothers forgot to take vitamins. Maybe they wet the bed for far too long. I don’t know what happened, but someone needs to figure out what makes a liberal and outlaw it.

Please allow me to stop laughing for a moment and give you a fine example of the liberal mind at work. It can be summed up in one statement from Mr. Danny Diehl, the executive producer of “The Mecklenburgers” a television show that is funded by Mecklenburg County, NC. He said, “We feel like the citizens of Mecklenburg County are getting a good value for their investment in ‘The Mecklenburgers’.”

Now to understand how his tortured little liberal mind works, you have to look at his statement. You see, it really doesn’t matter if the taxpayer gets RESULTS for his ‘investment’ (read here – TAXES). Nope, all you need is ‘value.’ It seems that the show’s 18 awards give it ‘value’ status.

Before this article (insert link) I had never heard of ‘The Mecklenburgers.’ I have paid my share of $421,000 this year alone for only 10 shows. Never heard of it. Apparently, someone at the county thinks I am ignorant of the county government and need some entertainment to bring me into the fold.

The sad thing is the real cost isn’t $421,000. It is more. Their target audience is Mecklenburg county residents, many of which went to Mecklenburg County schools. Apparently the county bosses think that Civics classes aren’t enough. So now we have two programs that no one pays attention to.

Oh, and about results – here is some results of that award-winning, value-laden civics class on the tube: There are about 750,000 residents in Mecklenburg County. Of those residents, how many do you think watch ‘The Mecklenburgers?’

Try ZERO.

That is right - $421,000 for nothing.

But we taxpayers have received a good value for our investment, right? Sell me some more of that CRAP.

What does the County Chair have to say about it? Jennifer Roberts says, “When you win 18 awards, I think that shows that you’re doing something right.” – Wrong!

What she should have said is, ‘When you have spent over $1,000,000 and have nothing but a TV show no one watches, it shows you are a liberal functioning within designed parameters.’
