Talked to a liberal yesterday who for years complained to me about Bush. Over the years he called Bush stupid over and over and blamed him for everything in the country gone wrong. He had a library of ‘facts’ about all the problems in America and how Bush was responsible.

Yesterday you could tell his moral was broken but he didn’t want to talk about it. But unlike when Bush was in charge: he said he didn’t know about events on every news program like the Nelson or union bribes to pass the health bill. He said he was too busy to keep track of what democrats were doing. He also said that everyone passes bills with bribes, and Obama tried to pass the health reform bill honestly, but it didn’t work. And the president was not responsible for anything bad his administration did anymore (unlike Bush). He told me that Obama was not responsible at all for the health care bribes to Senators. And it wasn’t Obama that read the Christmas Day terrorist his Miranda rights, that was his attorney general (even though it was a major Obama promise) . Obama was not responsible for his attorney general keeping his unpopular promises or the final deals in the health reform deal, even when he demanded “Get something-anything to my desk to sign” .

I wish I knew he would use this logic when he bashed Bush all those years. Bush didn’t invade Iraq , it was the military. And the CIA told them to do it not Bush. And I should have said I was too busy to pay attention to all those negative news stories during Bush years. The president doesn't control things.

Ironically, this lib hated Hannity for his knee-jerk defense of Bush and is doing the same for Obama.

This episode is one at-bat in a long baseball game that the libs are winning. We can celebrate them wiffing (I’d argue we haven’t even gotten to strike 3 yet), but if you check the scoreboard, they aren’t doing so bad. Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, etc. The national government is not restrained.

But what is really killing democrats about this decision is that their whole populist theme blaming businesses for the countries problems, and threatening taxes and takeovers, companies can now run ads against them in the November elections.

This is SO delicious. Can you imagine the ads that oil companies could run? Or insurance companies? Or pharmaceuticals? Liberal have to be petrified. What they've essentially been doing is taunting, teasing, and denigrating an 8 foot tall, 500 pound man made of pure muscle...while he's been tied up. Now he's loose.

The Libs are a long way from stopping with their agenda. These people are bent on destroying our economy along with our personal liberty and will not stop until they are thrown out of office.

Don’t ever expect a liberal to be even-handed.

When Harry Reid was found to have made a racial comment, he was not treated the same as the Republican Majority Leader who complimented an old man on his birthday.

We were given all sorts of convoluted reasoning for this, but we all know it is a liberal double-standard.

The same was true of the Clinton era where malfeasance was dismissed and sex with interns became a “personal matter”.

Liberals have boxed themselves into a hypocritical corner and they know it. They are just too committed to the cause to stop themselves from doing it over and over again.

For liberals, the ends justify the means.

The Peter Schiff/Redistribution Watch Ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!)

I decided early on not to flood this ping list with health reform pings. But it's been my favorite subject since the stimulus recovery bill and been posting on many threads. And it was a massive redistribution bill(s).

This is post here in my most fun topic, watch democrats self destruct.

“Democrats in pain ping!”

They do not have a clue either, like a bewildered wild animal will start biting their own back side.

My wife works with a doctor who is a far left wing loon(liberal would be too conservative of a label for this guy). She ran into him yesterday and he was acting as if he’d had a death in the family. He said he was “disappointed in his president” and “unhappy with the world in general”.

I can’t imagine what it must be like to where your personal well being is dependent upon politicians and events in DC... It must suck to be these people, even during the best of times. As much as I may dislike what is happening with our society, I’m not going to go around and be personally down about it.

Democrats were trusted more than Republicans on almost all issues and they had a huge democrat majority in congress.

It took the MSM and the dims 8 years (with a lot of help from Bush and the rinos) to convince voters they were wrong about the Republicans and not even a year of obama, Reid and Pelousy to show voters the truth about the dims.

Imagine the pain that Liberals must feel now

It can be seen in its full glory over at DU, Moveon.org, Daily KOS, Huffpost or just by watching MSNBC.

The problem with that ‘scoreboard' is that the Republican Rarty has been on the same side as liberals on that war. I have a separate redistribution ping list that addresses that but it is non-partision. Expansion of entitlements (prescription drugs) was a accomplishment of the great conservative experiment: president GWB and republican congress. “Conservatives will give up their entitlements to save the country, when liberals give up transportation and electric to save the planet” (someone pinged me with this)

The point of this post is that the Obama revolution, which we were warned (even here) over and over would takeover everything, has been is morally wounded and November is the bullet in the head.

This is the result of liberals, progressives and socialists complete being and faith being in government.

Their church is the Democratic party and their sacraments are anything that by effect of passage destroys freedom in the guise of compassion and fairness.

It’s no wonder they’re so miserable when the population up and revolts once a generation and sends their hopes and dreams back to academia and think tanks. Their church and faith has been mocked and destroyed and they know nothing but enslaving their fellow man.

That's the difference between liberals and conservatives. For liberals, government is their God. They have no other faith outside of the fantasy of a manmade Utopia.

And like you, I don't let the things going wrong with America bring down the rest of my life (although I will admit Obamacare caused me a lot of concern). I do, however, on occasion revel in the misery of liberals because if they are unhappy it means something good has happened for America. So thanks for the ping on this great article, sickoflibs!

This really has been a joyous week!

“Yesterday you could tell his moral was broken but he didn’t want to talk about it”

And yet, you have the other idiots out there still shouting “O-bam-A!, O-Bam-A!”, and then bitching in the next breath about why they can’t get a job.
