David, take off the blinders.

Another “conservative opinion leader” who sees the base not paying attention to him anymore.

We’re talking about global smiley face fascism here and the only clearly defined target so far is western brand conservatives.

There is no one coming to the rescue this time so we have to rescue ourselves.

He is entirely correct. Obama has been a non-entity president, he has done nothing but passed a democratic budget designed on the hill. On the economy he has been more hamfisted than usual, and blown with populist idiocy winds on the rhetoric. But that is all going to muddle along under technocratic forces, with pols merely grandstanding around what was going to happen anyway. On foreign policy, the one place where he has the opportunity to truly be a disaster, he just hasn't done anything. At all. That doesn't help, most one can say.

He's a dumb Chicago pol out of his depth and the country is on autopilot. Since we have decent technocrats in responsible positions, that means some things will go OK. Since in others (budgeting, grand strategy) we rely on pols, others will be mucked up royally. That is quite completely all.

Got that right...

Why the hell do people believe conservatives are up in arms???

Sure, we have our differences with these numbnuts running the show now, and that is well documented...

I seem to recall all sorts of accolades and well wishes from the left when GWB won back in 2000...Yeah, they were all calm, cool and collected...They worked with us real well for those 8 years IIRC...not...

But what do I know...
