I wish they were incompetent, at least if they were evil and incompetent there would be a decent chance of them accidentally doing some good.
Unfortunately, the "liberals" are no better than Bush and his team. Liberals are so afraid of saying something that might have real meaning, they say nothing of any meaning at all.
We are feeling the effects and seeing them. Our troops suffer life altering wounds, which are downgraded to scratches worthy of discharge but no ongoing benefits. As mentioned here in a reply to the previous column (yesterday), our corporations have moved off-shore for their money -- we saw the truth of that today when the earnings reports were released and the Stock Market rocketed upward with the Dow almost closing at 13,000 -- all on horrible earnings in USA but fantastic earnings abroad.
There are no mistakes in what is happening. Each step is thought out. The plan to invade Iraq was laid out in the early to mid 1990's. Bush supporters are, for the most part, the most ignorant one-third segment of the nation; 27 percent of the people are so totally stupid that nothing can alter their thinking (watch the poll numbers on any issue).
Obama is reaching out to the dummy group. He just recently linked the Virginia Tech killings with job outsourcing -- calling both violence and raising them to equal status; to which he also equated the IMUS "Ho" comment. Of course, being "black" Obama was careful not to mention Hip-Hop, Rap, or gangsta origins and usage of the Ho to broadly blacken the whole female African-American population.
Obama is both racist and intellectually dishonest. Does anyone think for a minute that the great unwashed shall see this? Will they see past his skin color and past their need to support that color? He and Bush are cut from the same material.
Maybe it is a Harvard thing -- maybe it is something that is taught there. If so, maybe they will teach my daughter
and my son (if he passes his summer trial period). Then, in twenty or so years, they can run for president and pocket millions by playing the idiots.
We shouldn't be avoiding progressive voices, and we certainly don't need to elect any more Yale aristocrats into office. People don't realize the degree to which not just our politics, but global politics have become a class war. We need a populist voice, and one who rather than changing themself to fit a cleaned up and skewed vision of the world, will instead inspire people with a vision they rarely see anymore and cause them to create progressive change in the world.
