Obama Under appreciation Syndrome

In an increasingly desperate attempt to develop a narrative for the coming Democratic collapse, the Democrats have indulged themselves in what for half a century they've habitually attributed to the American right -- the paranoid style in American politics. The talk is of dark conspiracies -- secret money, foreign influence, big corporations, with Karl Rove and, yes, Ed Gillespie lurking ominously behind the scenes. The only thing missing is the Halliburton-Cheney angle.

But after trotting out some of these charges with a noticeable lack of success, President Obama has come up with something new, something less common, something more befitting his stature and intellect. He's now offering a scientific, indeed neurological, explanation for his current political troubles.

"Opening a whole new branch of cognitive science -- liberal psychology -- Obama has discovered a new principle: The fearful brain is hard-wired to act befuddled, i.e., vote Republican." and indeed most voters will vote Republican.

Okay, but do you have a picture of a "structural feminist"? If you put it up, would it break my computer monitor?

As usual Charles Krauthammer rights a powerful OP-Ed piece.
Let us hope the approx. 35% moderates side with the right this election as well as in 2012.

Oh my god no! It hurts, it hurts. Take it away.

Does it have tenure at a university? :)
