Have You Ever Noticed? (Left gets taken to woodshed)
American Thinker ^ | August 15, 2010 | Steve McCann

Posted on 08/15/2010 7:03:53 AM PDT by Popman

The dog days of August have arrived. The "summer of recovery" is evolving into a "winter of discontent" as virtually anywhere one looks, reality overwhelms the rhetoric of the ruling class. It appears that those in the White House, Congress, and the liberal media believe an economic tooth fairy will soon appear and place under the national pillow 15 million new jobs and 5% GDP growth.


But these are tough times for our friends in the Left; their overwhelmingly high opinion of themselves and their divine right to rule (see Barack and Michelle Obama) seems to be running afoul of the unwashed masses. The majority of the American citizenry has seen through the current ruling class and cannot be fooled any longer.

The left just found out that Obama has no healing powers.

...use the media to drive wedges into the conservative coalition...

An excellent article and a good point (above) to fellow FReepers that assist the liberals in driving wedges in our coalition just as we are poised to make massive gains.

I am speaking about those who are pessimistic (voter fraud, RINOs, uneducted voters, etc.)

I am also talking about those who buy, hook-line-&-sinker, the "NRA has endorsed Harry Reid" media bait that is clearly set out to divide conservatives.

At this early stage, we cannot afford to be stupid by letting the left discourage or divide us.

“Franklin Roosevelt...established the basic ground rules of election and reelection for his party: Spend huge sums of money in each district..., use the media to drive wedges into the conservative coalition, and accuse your opponents of favoring the rich and of being deceitful and dishonest.”

The other part of the formula is to lie incessantly and pretend to be a moderate.

The left knows and the media knows they are in deep, deep doodoo come November.

I remember the countries mood in 1994 and in 2010 people are WAY MORE mad and disturbed and angry. Way more

The lefts only hope in cutting their loses in 2010 from massive decimation to only a rout is keep the conservative voters home.

The NRA has endorsed Reid. They endorsed him in the primary and in many elections prior to that AND that is not the NRA’s only sin.

Still doesn't stop them from pretending the evil GOP stole his "attuned" powers

Have you ever noticed that many on the Left cannot acknowledge their own mistakes while accusing the rest of us of causing those same mistakes?

Have you ever noticed that the Left has no sense of humor and is unable to laugh at itself while reveling in off-color commentary about the rest of us?

Have you ever noticed that to the Left, political ideology is a religion, while to the rest of us, religion is the antidote to their political ideology?

Have you ever noticed that to the Left, if you attended an Ivy League college and espouse liberal talking points, you are a genius, but if you attended an Ivy League college and espouse conservative ideas, you are a knuckle-dragging moron?

Lastly, have you ever noticed that whenever the Left approaches an election cycle, it uses an eighty-year-old playbook, and the rest of us are only just now catching on?

You’re right. That’s a modern tactic that followed the Reagan years. George Bush the First did us a favor with that one.

Las Vegas and Reno aren’t exactly “flyover” country. They’re
destinations. I’ve been to Vegas many times and Reno twice on trips to Lake Tahoe. I’ve never seen a prettier place than Lake Tahoe. I would recommend it to anybody.
The majority of the population lives in those two cities, IIRC.

You show me proof the NRA endorsed Harry Reid in this year's primary when Reid ran virtually unopposed?!

YOU are the problem, not the NRA!

"Wikipedia: Flyover country and flyover states are Americanisms describing the region of the United States between the Northeast and the West Coast. The terms, which are often used in a pejorative sense, refer to the regions of the country passed over during inter-coastal flights – e.g., flights between the nation's two largest cities, New York City and Los Angeles. Flyover country thus refers to the part of the country that some Americans only view by air and never actually see in person at ground level. These areas largely consist of the Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Wyoming and Wisconsin."
