Since my retirement I've found it very much fun to log on right wing sites such as
Breitbar.com and other such sites to poke them the eye for their mendaciousness
and angst over the president and the Democrats. This past week I grew interested in a story on Breitbart wherein they recount that Sharyl Attkisson of CBS was resigning for some perceived muffling of the phony scandal about Benghazi and the IRS targeting Tea Party groups. Well one day (I forget which exactly at present) I was scrolling down reading all the miserable comments these intellectually challenged people who post on this site do when I see one posting about one concerning Fascism and Mussolini in Italy in one the endless tomes Jonah Goldberg, who we all know is the son of the deceased right wing female publisher who was seducing Linda Tripp to in turn seduce Monica Lewinsky into revealing all about her relationship with Bill Clinton so they could get a book out of the deal. I'd never heard of Jonah until this opened the door for him to turn this controversy into a profitable profession writing the tripe he writes. Well further down I noticed a reply to this comment recalling Francisco Franco and his perceived Fascism and the fact that the Catholic Church were supporters of his revolution in Spain. This poster contention wasn't far off though in my reading of history I don't recall if Franco had ever stated succinctly that he was indeed a Fascist while fighting the loyalist aligned against him and other foreign volunteers such as George Orwell and those who were Americans in the "Lincoln Brigade". But what I found most intriguing was that this poster had an avatar that was a photo of Mrs. Boonstra. Now I realize this could have been a Liberal posing as her. But I don't think it was because she hadn't engaged in hyperbole or made such outrageous comments that you would deign to decide it was an attempt to portray the right as blithering idiots. I made it clear that I recognized her and stated that if it was her it calls into question her veracity about just about everything. I waited for sometime before returning to the site and see if she had replied to my reply to her. Well when I did return later in the afternoon Mrs. Boonstra or whomever she was had a new avatar of an older man such as myself and having the moniker of this man who was now calling themselves Goldfarb, which sounds mysteriously like Goldberg. I distinctly remember reading an interview in the conservative newspaper the Detroit News wherein she stated despite the fact that her husband who was the former Dexter County head of the GOP in Michigan and a now a judge appointed to the bench by the sitting MI governor she was simply someone who was worried about her insurance costs. She is upset that BCBS cancelled her insurance and that now if she obtains it through the ACA is fearful her costs will increase. She has flat out stated even after having it was pointed out to her that she can save close to $1,200 a year and retain her physician refuses to believe it. I continued to refer to her as Julie in later posts. A later one she posted expressed some admiration of the John Birch Society which was the version of the Tea Party I remember from my youth and teen years. They were the clamoring voices of the right then and even went so far as to accuse President Eisenhower and his well respected brother of either being communist agents or at best dupes of the communist and were a relevant voice until Bill Buckley dismissed them as radicals in National Review. I have informed numerous people of this from MSNBC to even the White House and have gotten no response from anyone. I even called NY and left a message to MSNBC as well as the Detroit News suggesting they follow up with hear to discover whether or not this was indeed her or if she is this Goldfarb character. I should have think if it is her she was being deceptive when she claims not to be a political person with an agenda. She may well not be interested in saving the $1,200 a year because she could be on the payroll of Americans for Prosperity and by extension the Koch Brothers who finance them. It seems futile because the Detroit News hasn't responded either. You'd think someone would have at least vetted this woman enough to discover if she's just another Tea Party operative or not. Perhaps they are afraid someone would accuse them of being a bully toward a poor cancer patient. Who knows why this hasn't caused at least some consternation as to her veracity. Maybe down the road the truth will come out if it is her or someone using her name and is engaged in this to derail her. I for now have like Pontius Pilate washed my hands of it.
