President G.W. Bush might very well have been sincere when he proclaimed, “I’m a uniter, not a divider,” but it nevertheless was boilerplate political rhetoric. Barack Obama, too, campaigned on the idea of uniting our nation. It’s an interesting fantasy.
But the reality is quite different. Recent polls show that if we’re to measure a President’s unitive capacity based on how divided opinion on him is, Obama is the most polarizing Commander-in-Chief in history. Writes The Washington Post, “For 2011, Obama’s third year in office, an average of 80 percent of Democrats approved of the job he was doing in Gallup tracking polls, as compared to 12 percent of Republicans who felt the same way. That’s a 68-point partisan gap, the highest for any president’s third year in office — ever.” The President also registered the highest partisan gaps on record for his first and second years in office, 65 and 68 percent, respectively.

The cold, hard fact of the matter is that liberals and conservatives now often hate each other.
Hate.
And is this a surprise? We’re not simply disagreeing on whether red or white wine goes better with salmon or whether Tiger Woods will break Jack Nicklaus’ records. We’re talking fundamental differences here — and they go down to the very core of a person’s being.

Obama the Bastard!
And yet, he probably will be re-elected. Such is the state of this once pround and strong country.
My loathing of the illegitimate bisexual Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper knows no earthly bounds.
“O” had good teachers.
Billy Boy and Evita preceded him in the assault on American social equilibrium.
America was WELL on the way to lasting and genuine social stability until Billy Boy found that there was a payoff in convincing minorities that they were yet underserved, exploited and left out, etc.!
“O” and his corner got the message. ‘If some is good, more is better!!!’ They continued Evita’s and Billy Boy’s tactic with shameful vigor, dangerous and irresponsible abandon…albeit with a perfect disregard for the actual fact that US minorities live better and may access greater opportunities than they could or DO anywhere else on this earth!!
It says a great deal about the bias of the MSM that no challenge has ever been made to the Liberal lies which persuade minorities to further and ever more unreasonable demands and their outright ingratitude for the gains which have been made to date!!!
You’re my kind of guy, Sarge!
Conclusive proof that eighty percent of Democrats are blithering imbeciles who couldn’t find their own rear end with both hands and a flashlight.
What’s that saying about not throwing good money after bad? Would seem to describe this plan.
The real problem is not that the left sees things in shades of gray. The problem is that they consider all shades of gray to be equal.
Yet they’re quite adept at finding everyone else’s...
