Yep. New year. Same old MSM BS.
Some things never change.
And they call themselves “progressive.”

Just for the sake of discussion: "progressive" is "newspeak" (ala George Orwells "1984") for socialist. Sounds kind of snappy. Who doesn't want to be progressive? But nobody seems to like being called a liberal or socialist or communist. Best to forget rebuilding the reputation of "liberal" and just start off fresh with something new... "hey.... lets call ourselves progressive! Catchy, eh?"

This is kind of like referring to infanticide as "Pro-Choice".

The liberal/socialists are being smart and savvy, and thats just scary as hell. Propaganda works. We just lost an election to massive propaganda. We have just elected a man that nobody knows. The few that do know him are largely busy with court cases, or making excuses for a radical past.

One thing we absolutely cannot do is to stop attacking Obama and his socialist friends and policies. They destroyed Bush... "death by a thousand cuts." They attacked him every day.

We need to fight back. We need to educate people on what has just happened and what to expect. One thing about this Blago thing... it drives home the point that was made during the campaign... Obama and his associates are corrupt beyond belief. That being said, Obama may yet be the best thing to happen to us, just like Clinton who left a "legacy" of a GOP controlled congress for the first time in 40 or more years. Obama may just be a windfall for conservatives, and I hope they will take full advantage of the opportunity the next time around and maintain control for decades. Its going to take some hard work to make that happen in an environment where people like to vote for "change" even if they don't know what the heck "change" means.
