The Five Stages of Liberal Grief for Obama
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/21/2010 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/30/2010 8:54:50 AM PDT by Beave Meister

There are five stages in the grieving process from Denial to Acceptance. American liberals are now moving through their own five stages of dealing with the decline and fall of the myth of Obama. The last time they had invested this much in a politician was the Kennedy Administration, yet there is no assassin’s bullet to explain the fall of Camelot for them here. Instead they have to come to terms with the reality of Obama’s failure.

Pretty good take on it. Stage 6 will be them turning on each other and blaming each other. So-called “liberals” and leftists never take accountability for their own failures (and failed ideals) — must be someone else’s fault. It’ll be interesting and fun to watch, see where they try to lay the blame. I’d love to see some big liberal come out and just say it “we failed...because the conservatives were right all along...socialism stinks and does not work”

Please pay no attention to the man-boy in the mirror. Images reflected may appear much larger than they, in fact, really are.

Excellent observations on the Obama cult, which in some quarters (olbermann) sounds like Jim Jones’s cult.

Lib grief can’t compare to my depression at what they and the O have already done to this country.

Leader-worship is one of the more devastating propaganda cocoons, because it teaches faith in a man, raising him up to a superhuman stature.

"Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing." Psalm 146

Didn’t Fidel Castro say that recently?

If you have not heard it yet, you will. They will say something like "we did not get our message out". They did that in '93 and '94 when Hillycare failed. They refuse to believe that the message was heard and rejected.

I'd like to see the crushing depression of overwhelming defeat turn suicidal, and see how many choke to death on their own tears before being able to affix a ligature around their own necks and hang themselves in a closet.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
