The Never Ending Hypocrisy Of The Left

By Semperpapa

I know, if I should address the hypocrisy of the American Left, I should probably have a dedicated daily blog just for that, but this one I thought was a good one.

Los Angeles Mayor Anthony Villaraigosa is feeling a little uncomfortable these days. Since the shooting in Tucson where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was wounded, the man has been afraid for his own safety, should someone like Loughner decide to take aim at his pretty face.

Villaraigosa currently occupies the official mayoral residence in a Los Angeles neighborhood and he has requested the City Council to approve the erection of a 6-foot wall around the home. Initially, he had requested an 8 and a half-foot construction, but the idea was immediately nixed by authorities, so he reduced his request to the current 6-footer.

City ordinance in the city states that residential constructions would have fencing that does not surpass 42 inches in height, but the mayor, in good liberal fashion, is of the opinion that his residence should not be subjected to regulations that all other citizens must obey.

Villaraigosa claims that the erection of the wall should be approved not only because his safety is paramount, but also because the wall would allow him to reduce the security detail employed to watch over him, therefore save taxpayers' money.
No figures are available of what the cost of the construction would be, including the additional security gadgets that would augment the fence, but it sure would be a cost that the taxpayers would have to carry anyway.
Additionally, the security detail he wants to eliminate would still have to be employed to protect him every time he decides to go in public, which, considering the level of media whore the mayor is, constitute a full time engagement. From NBA games to every occasion where a camera is present, Villaraigosa has an entourage of security personnel with him at all times.

Opposition to the mayor's request is based on the city regulations that are in place to prevent the city from looking like a conglomeration of individual fortresses. The neighborhood the mayoral residence is located is considered an upscale one, but it appears that the mayor does not feel that his safety is as protected as it should be.

The first thought that came to mind as I stumbled upon this story, though, had nothing to do with city regulations. Mostly was a reaction to the hypocrisy of a man who has been against any control over illegal immigration all his life. He wants to erect a wall that would shut out the rest of the peons in the city from his majesty, mayor Villaraigosa.
He is vehemently oppose to the building of a wall along the Mexican border to keep illegal aliens from invading our country, but not against building a wall to hide his phony smile from the citizens of Los Angeles.

It is hard to just sit back and take this individual seriously. I am happy that I do not live in the city of LA, but the rumors of this narcissist aspiring at becoming Governor of the state of California, are depressing, as I do not trust the political machine or the voters of this state in the least. After all, the keep on re-electing Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer and just elected Gerry Moonbeam Brown to finish off this once glorious state.

Mayor Villaraigosa is the typical liberal, one who is eager to increase the number of his "Hispanic" constituency as long as the "unwashed masses" can be kept away and in their ghetto environment and do not cramp the dashing mayor's style.
What a leader!

Just my thoughts!
