The DUmmies don't know what to do with themselves. Bush is gone. Cheney's gone. Rove is gone (if one can say that Rove is ever REALLY gone). The Democrats hold all the reins of power. So the DUmmies don't know what to do with themselves! (But then, President Barack "Above my pay grade" Obambi doesn't know what to do with himself, either, so it's a good match.) The DUmmies know only one mode: whine, complain, and attack. The only thing is, right now they're not sure what to whine about or whom to attack! So this is an uncertain, transitional time in our little DUmmie Ant Farm, as we can see in this THREAD, "My what a sweeping shift this board has taken in ideology this past year!!!!" The confused, shift-headed comments of the DUmmies are in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, at a retreat about a mile or two away from Blago's trial but not able to follow it, is in the [brackets]:
My what a sweeping shift this board has taken in ideology this past year!!!!
[Shift happens.]
It's interesting to see some new posters here with a bit of a rightward view and some older posters becoming more radicalized or moving a little leftward. Seems like a lot of jumbling about.
[It's a jumble out there!]
One thing I am seeing that is interesting is that with Bush out of office it looks like some new battle lines are being drawn.
[Gotta channel that BDS somewhere!]
One thing is certain, without a real anti war movement or poor peoples movement Obama is going to have a tough time fulfilling all his campaign promises.
[Without a MAGIC WAND, Obama was going to have a tough time fulfilling all those promises!]
Who here will become radicalized in the coming months or years?
["Become"??]
I honestly find myself moving to the left in the past year. . . .
[That's like a negative number becoming even more negative. It's like Minneapolis in January having a cold wave. It's like the Detroit Lions getting worse. IOW, one doesn't think it possible to move even further in that direction.]
I haven't seen this "shift" in ideology this past year...... Could you provide some examples?
How about the overwhelming outright homophobia Rampant in DU these days?
[Not getting all worked up about Rick Warren giving a meaningless invocation at Obambi's inauguration--that is branded as "overwhelming outright homophobia."]
There was one camel's back-breaking straw of a post, in which was said, "Everything was fine until the gays went nuclear."
[I don't know that you want to talk about "breaking the back of a camel" in regard to the homosexuals.]
That sh*t was right in my face!
[That may not be the best expression to use in this context, either.]
My fuse is lit.
[Fire in the hole!]
Obama was a community organizer. . . .
[I'd like to see him try to organize the "reality-based" community!]
I think I've been fairly consistent in my desire for economic populism. . . .
I wonder what "economic populism" is?
[Socialism.]
To me, it means that since the US GDP per capita is $44,000, there is no legitimate reason for anyone to go without the necessities of life.
[FREE UNIVERSAL $44,000 A YEAR FOR EVERYONE!]
Further, our labor is the primary asset that most of us possess.
[Except for DUmmies. They don't do labor.]
I am willing to allow the O admin time.
[Two weeks! Then that's it!]
I think you have to mix direct action in with the ballot box.
[DUAC! DUAC!]
most important thing for Obama, appoint SCOTUS justices that know and understand the constitution. . . .
[I don't think he wants to do THAT! That would mean overturning Roe v. Wade!]
I haven't noticed an ideological shift, but rather only that DUers are permanently stuck... in protest-mode.
[DING! DING! DING! You get the Kewpie Doll today!]
there are none so blind as those who will not see.
[Is that you, Caroline Kennedy?]
Hopefully, this site will stop being a glorified fansite for Obama and get back to respecting the ideas of liberalism.
[TIGER BEAT! SEE BARACK'S NEWLY CHISELED PECS!]
We Won!
[Big whoop. Now you have to DO something with it.]
all that I care about is that the people with axes to grind or those incapable of critical thinking post less than others.
[The Axes of Evil.]
Some people around here have sold out just so "history" could be made. . . .
[Just so we could elect the First Biracial Empty-Suit President.]
All of us have one issue that can send us into an absolute ranting lunatic. . . .
[Namely, whatever issue is being discussed.]
I am personally somewhat taken aback by the keyboard warmongers I have seen on here lately. People who are chest thumping for Obama's surge into Afghanistan. wtf. I called them chickenhawks back in the Bush era..now they are on here.. creepy as hell.
[Afghanistan, the new Iraq. Barry Obama's War. Chimpy McBama.]
Off the top of my head, I disagree with Obama on Afghanistan, healthcare insurance program, gay marriage, kowtowing to the GOP, and I'm apprehensive about many of his appointments.
[Off with OBAMA'S head!]
We face the possible end of the human species due to accelerating environmental deterioration, the world economy is in a shambles and we're totally broke, the greed on Wall Street is stunning.
[OBAMA'S FAULT!!]
Been a lefty for years. Still a lefty. No change here.
[Change We Can Be Left In.]
With Bush gone we'll see more divisions on DU than we had previously.
[WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! PLENTY of material for the DUmmie FUnnies for YEARS to come!!]
If the Republican party starts reaching out more to the black community on social issues, we might just split their vote. Probably a pipe-dream, but it’s the only major Democratic bloc I can see as reachable without compromising on our core positions.
It worked with the Prop 8 referendum in California, so maybe we can start by pushing for Republican sponsored referendums at the state level that would appeal to them. They will be more inclined, I think, to warm up to Republicans again gradually, by voting for a ballot initiative here and there, then maybe some local black candidates challenging white Democratic machine politicians in cities like Chicago.
Colon Powell and Condi Rice weren’t much appreciated I think because they were labelled by the media as Uncle Toms, and weren’t as visibly involved in the black community as the many black Democrats. If we can get some locally known people to come over to us and run in local races, people will not buy that media tripe as easily.
Not saying we should stoop to identity politics, but we need to take the war of ideas to new battlefields if we want to prevent the Dems and ACORN from repeating this disaster again.
LOL! Thanks for watching/reading/commenting/posting. All of them are good, but that one hits home.
Not any more.
All your labor now belong to Obamassiah.....
It's the "change you will be left with"....
You mean like letting them have vouchers to get their kids out of the hell hole schools they are stuck in?
You mean like reducing the onerous crushing regulations that burden small business start ups and kill employment opportunities?
You mean like a no tolerance policy for drug use / gang activity in government housing?
Or do you mean pandering to the black community and buying their votes with meaningless feel good political correctness and just enough government money not to starve to death like the Democrats have done?
I agree that identity politics is something to be avoided, but I also agree (if I may reword your point) that no bloc of voters ought to be ruled out.
That's what has cost the REPUBs in the last two election cycles.
Reaganomics needs to be explained to the public every two years,
and practiced by all Repubs. I can only dream.
[Without a MAGIC WAND, Obama was going to have a tough time fulfilling all those promises!]
Whad'ya mean? No gas in my tank, no free house, no stopping the war today, no stop to gorebull warming? DUmmies are doomed!
[I don't know that you want to talk about "breaking the back of a camel" in regard to the homosexuals.]
Hussein has to keep his base happy.
[I'd like to see him try to organize the "reality-based" community!]
Community organizer is the politically correct version of a radical communist sympathizer.
[FREE UNIVERSAL $44,000 A YEAR FOR EVERYONE!]
Yeah DUmmie, tell the Silky Pony, bill and hill, the Swimmer, the holly weird elites etc., that they have to live on $44,000 per year.
[I don't think he wants to do THAT! That would mean overturning Roe v. Wade!]
I'd like to see the likes of Janet Rogers Brown on the SC.
[Afghanistan, the new Iraq. Barry Obama's War. Chimpy McBama.]
Hussein's a warmonger now. DUmmies will be sorely disappointed when he kills more "civilian wedding" guests.
[Change We Can Be Left In.]
DUmmies are permanently stuck on stupid.
[WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! PLENTY of material for the DUmmie FUnnies for YEARS to come!!]
The DUmp has become a house divided.......
Why don’t these dummies “speak truth to power”, that is what they have always done?
Very good job today. Thanks for carrying the mantle.
Yes to the first 3, no to the last 1. Also, I think the biggest issue we have that many Blacks can agree with is stopping the abomination of homosexual “marriage”. We have a lot of other issues like this that they might support. The problem is, I think, that the Republican party too often has written them off as an unwinnable demographic, and so they get most of their views of Republicans solely from the mainstream media. If we can circumvent that by reaching out to them directly, maybe they will give us a chance. It certainly can’t hurt to try.
[I don't think he wants to do THAT! That would mean overturning Roe v. Wade!]"
That, to me is the most hilarious thing about DUmmies. They don't have a freaking clue what they're talking about, but they've heard someone say it (some Conservative obviously), and they know it sounds like something they should want.
So they just parrot it, and leave absolutely no doubt what morons they are.
Thanks for the ping.
% "I Want My DTV" %
Now THAT would be a shift of seismic proportions....
% Still DUmmie, after all these years... %
When this isn’t forthcoming, they whine. And it’s never coming, so...
What's the old saying?...THE THINGS THAT COME TO THOSE THAT WAIT ARE USUALLY THE SAME THINGS LEFT BEHIND BY THOSE WHO GOT THERE FIRST...
Great DUmmies FUnnies :-))
What if it had said "Everything was fine until the gays blew a fuse"?
I made this argument to a lib friend of mine this past weekend, when she told me that all republicans are racist. She told me that "she could live with the underprivileged (people of color) not having vouchers because it went against her concept of egalitarianism in American schools". Only some kids could get out, and not all private schools have to take kids who don't behave, and many kids parents would choose to keep them in bad public schools anyway, which was so unequal and unfair. (Of course, she got to go to private school).
Dude. You have an extra "f" in there!
