Liberals descended on Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday to protest President Barack Obama's decision to include entitlement cuts in his upcoming budget, delivering 2 million petitions demanding the White House back off its support for the chained CPI.
As we reported this weekend, liberals have been seething over the inclusion of the chained CPI in Obama's budget, which they see as a huge betrayal by the Democratic president.
This week, progressive groups, including MoveOn, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and Democracy for America, have mounted "emergency" online campaigns against the proposal, accusing Obama of turning on the very supporters who helped re-elect him to office.

I can find humor in most/many things, but I find little to no humor in this. Because with him or against him, we're all going to have to live in the same country this miserable dirtbag and his cronies will be destroying and looting, and the useless turds who cheered him on will still be useless, by and large. And they will still have to have it explained to them, it's just maybe they will shut up for a minute this time.
That's the only damned difference. Maybe. All of us will have massive impingements upon our rights and freedoms and the country will be in horrific economic shape and very likely in a severely weakened position against what are now and what are likely to be then serious security and economic competitiveness threats. And OK, maybe you say that this sets the stage for a mondo recovery like we saw under Reagan 1982--- but that still took two years to get its' jets fired up. And we got no Reagan, so far. So from today, I believe we can look forward to a solid 5 more years of crapola economy, and if we go Japan (looking like it) then it's a decade or more.
Please forgive my pessimism, but I'm not amused by any of this. The chagrined supporters of this walking disaster can eat dogturds as far as I'm concerned, and whatever happens, there is in inevitably going to be a massive, massive dependency class or classes that will be a drag on society no matter how much of our native ingenuity can be awakened. It doesn't float my boat to have them wake up to how idiotic they were. There's no guarantee they'll be willing or able to clean up the crap they left in the middle of the carpet.
Have a nice decade/forever.

Saying that these are “liberals” is like saying that Ghengis Khan was just a supporter of population control.

Ha-Ha. You get what you paid for. You thought he was something else didn’t you? Well, the Chickens have come home to roost. You guys should have talked to Rev. Wright!

Honestly, Medicare and SS is the LAST thing that should be cut.
You pay for something for decades and when it’s time to deliver, you snatch it away.
But Egypt and Syria get their dollars?
If conservatives were smart, they’d be ticked off too.

“Liberals hate it when their OWN money is taken..they only like it when other peoples money is taken”
Precisely the point, and absolutely true.
To: autumnraine
We haven’t “paid for something.” We’ve been taxed and our money spent. In return for our wealth we’ve been given a promise of subsistance.
It’s a vicious trap and the majority of Americans are in it.

“They’re still pissed that all conservatives haven’t been sent to Gitmo yet.”
That’s tame.
Liberals want worse than that and if they could get away with it, they would do what they dream about.

He’ll back down. Offering cuts was not real. They serve to bolster his magnanimous offer.

Yep and there's more. An exerpt:
"The CBO also notes, however - and the White House omits - that a switch to the chained CPI will also raise more than $124 billion in new tax revenues.
"The money will come pouring in because the consumer price index also controls income tax brackets, tax filers' standard deductions, nontaxable contribution limits for 401(k) retirement plans, and more.
"So millions of individual Americans will see themselves moved involuntarily to higher tax brackets, and middle-class taxpayers in particular will lose some of the tax credits and deductions that they count on."
And you can read all about it here:

The Brownshirts who got him into power are about to be purged and replaced by the Blackshirts.
I guess the idiots failed to read their history textbooks.

Thanks Impala64ssa.
Liberals descended on Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday to protest [Zero's] decision to include... chained CPI... which they see as a huge betrayal... groups, including MoveOn, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and Democracy for America, have mounted "emergency" online campaigns against the proposal...
Partisan Media Shills will spend more than a year beating a drum about how these SS and M cuts wouldn't have passed without Pubbie votes, while also complaining about the failure of background checks. 2014 is an election year, after all.
