Confession time: Back in April of 2008, during the presidential primary campaign, I wrote that the racial healing which Senator Obama seemed to promise and might portend would be good. At about the same time, I suggested that Senator Obama was saying some things other politicians weren’t saying but should. Some of the things he said seemed problematical, but like many others I thought I understood what he meant; I wanted to understand him and hoped that he might be a better president than Senator Clinton. It seemed as though his election might stunt the weeds of racism and partisan governance. However, soon those weeds were in full bloom. They are now producing their own fruit; the flavors have merely become more pungent.

Interesting how quickly the O Tribe Media pivoted from ‘post racial..post partisan’ myth making before the election to handing Obama a mythological ‘marxist mandate’ after he was elected. Now Obama and the media call everyone(that doesn’t agree with his policies)a racist and give themselves blanket immunity to ram the most partisan, marxist agenda down the throats of the American people in the history of this country.
Funny how that works.
It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
With a majority of conservatives, yes. Just with a majority of republicans, no.
Think Snowe, Collins, McCain and others in the Senate. Here in Illinois our so called republican candidate for a Senate seat is Mark Kirk, more liberal than most democrats, he's wrong on every single issue, from Cap and Trade to baby killing, gun grabbing, every issue, bar none. How will anything ever be reversed with Senators like these?
The House is even more RINO than the Senate.
This is DC we're talking about. It's an alien world compared to the reality the rest of us inhabit. Something changes in peoples brains when they get to DC. Life is centered around "making the deal", shaking hands, cocktail parties, orgies, and graft. Politicians almost invariably end up compromising at least some of their principles to get "something done". Add to that a voting public that is outright ignorant of history and current events and fickle as heck, and you've got a mess that can't be sorted out.
THANK YOU!
You are 100% right-and even on FR, a few of the naive things I read make me want to spew—and it’s from otherwise smart, principled people- I daresay none were dumb enough to vote for BO. Those white sheeple are almost hopeless. It’s even worse among the Gen X Gen Y Gen Z crowd-they moved from the burbs their parents fled to into the cities that Reagan, Giuliiani, etc partially cleaned up-some of the younger ones have been so brainwashed that it’s like a racial Stockholm Syndrome.
Funny how nearly all the under 35 year old whites are so nonjudgmental and nice nelly, but the blacks their age are full of hatred for the most part.....
My daughter was like that until she went to work and saw people who weren’t doing their work, get promoted over her because they had a quota they had to fill.
She didnt vote for Obama either.
Sorry to sound so depressing, but DC (and the UN and Brussels) is like that. To win, we have to face reality and then figure a plan for it. I’ve had a little experience with the culture there, and it really is one big party after another. Business is done by making “relationships”, not by coming up with the best ideas. As Ayn Rand called it, The Aristocracy of Pull.
