I know it is scary isn’t it. I am scared to say anything negative about the One also.

I’m concerned about expressing my views at my workplace, because my supervisors are spiteful and filled with hatred for all conservatives; they have shown in the past that they’re willing to punish those who disagree with them. But when I’m out in the general population ;-) I make a lot of comments and rarely have a problem. It’s a question of choosing one’s statements carefully so as to provoke thought, garnering support for the conservative position and eroding the liberal perspective.

I sometimes allow liberals to conclude that I was an Obama supporter who has been disenchanted. For instance, when liberals are speaking about how tough the economy is, I might say, “Yeah, this isn’t exactly the change I was hoping for! I can’t believe the president chose Bernanke and Geithner to lead us out of this recession—these are the guys who didn’t see it coming, so why should we trust them? I wonder about the wisdom of choosing people like that . . . “ (shaking my head more in sorrow than in anger). Then I go on, inserting one gentle oblique criticism of Obama’s judgment after another into the conversation. After awhile you have the liberals completely confused and worried. Works like a charm. I feel like a saboteur.
