This is a very sad reason why the Democrats have not been held to account much:
“Bush never fought the Democrats while in office. His reward will be endless demonization by those he tried to be civil towards.”

Meanwhile, Democrats who have held office for awhile are skating on horrible records…
The people of Michigan have confirmed my belief that what goes around can also hit you in the rear end even if you have just witnessed the same thing happening to your neighbor.

The Democrats have been in control of Congress for the past two years. When the next hike in THEIR minimum wage increase package hits retailers, combine with retail deflation because of a lack of consumer confidence, we will see the biggest spike in new unemployment filings since the Great Depression.

Will the Democrats take responsibility for this?

Just like Barney Frank and Dobbs, they will all try to distance themselves from any responsibility.

I will give Obama about 9 months until he loses his patience and then turns into a dictatorial tyrant and will butt heads with Pelosi and others at will.

Sadly, the members of this new generation who believed in CHANGE, for the only reason that it will become a form of CHANGE, will pay a very dear price. Kind of like my generation did for electing Jimmy Carter. Deflation followed by scarcity, followed by monopoly, and ultimately followed by inflation

The only problem?
There may not be another Ronald Wilson Reagan to bail out the nation from this round of Democratic damage visa-vie post Obama!

Poetry should not contradict simple reality, even if it flies beside it, or in its face.

But in academia, one must not criticize people like Audrey Lorde,

I don’t think most parents realize what goes on, routinely, in academia today. The revolution is over. The crazies won a long, long time ago, and now they relentlessly indoctrinate every poor kid through the medium of education, pre-K to post-graduate. Every wonder about those M.Ed.s who always seem to run all the federal grant and community development programs? This country is beginning to remind me of Kusturica’s Underground, without the bombs and starvation, of course.

Revolutionaries learn early that it is always easier to rebel than to govern, and young leftists are apt to be disillusioned by the Buppie Messiah. Where can they vent their spleen?

Of course, Obama will try to push through his American Oprichnina-interior secret police, and will push to nationalize the banking industry (wait; we`re already doing that), and give us socialized medicine, government suppression of energy in the interest of a scientifically dubious Global Warming war of the worlds scare, and will invite attack on America by talking when he should be fighting, but he will find it difficult to do this and keep the American People on his side. The nice thing about our system is that we can kick him out for no-confidence. His leftist friends will be apparent for all to see.

If Republicans learn their lessons, they could have another landslide in 2012.

A million Iraqi kids died under Bush? I don’t think so. Let’s stay within the bounds of reality here.

Also, if you weren’t so ignorant and disingenuous you would be prepared to admit that the Iraq war wasn’t “just so Iran” could “take over.” First of all, Iran has not taken over. Second, the war was to instigate regime change in the face of Saddam’s continued defiance of the UN resolutions against him – resolutions were based on the consensus that the man was a serious threat to the world (and given the UN’s track record of appeasement, that’s nothing to be sniffed at).

Well, less Iraqi’s died under Bush than Clinton – and Bush has a democratic Iraq to show for it. The invasion was not a “land grab” – let’s please try and keep this discussion above the level of 16 year old kids on a “World of Warcraft” forum – and the first Bush was entirely wrong to leave Saddam in power, as the Democrats never tired of telling him throughout the 90’s.

I’m a little confused by this wretchedly pathetic comment at the end of your post:

“Repubs favor hoarding, and democrats favor equatable representation.”

By “hoarding,” do you mean “saving”? Nothing wrong with that. Or do you mean allowing wealth to remain in the hands of those it belongs to? Nothing wrong with that either. Furthermore, Democrats do not favor “equatable representation.” They favor using the state to enforce equality of outcome.

And a million died under baby Bush, just so Iran can take over. Are you that blind to understand why the US in general is earning pariah status? Your left/right distinction is a false one, and immaterial to the obvious fact that your country has killed over a million Iraquis.

Bush Sr. left Iraq without Sodamn. Probably because he knew the invasion was unjustified and simply a land grab. You repubs have an amazingly short memory.

Repubs favor hoarding, and democrats favor equatable representation. Not exactly rocket science.

Um, coherence? I have no idea what you attempted to express. You mentioned something about fraud. Were you referring to Bush losing the 2000 election and still becoming president?

I considered my source. My point still stands. Half a million Iraqi kids died under Clinton and no regime change to show for it. They died for nothing, yet I’ve yet to hear anyone call Clinton a “baby killer.”

118. Rogan:

The left will always do everything they can to sabotage the capitalist system and then blame the free market for their handiwork. It’s a shocking case of chutzpah, like a murderer blaming his crime on the existence of his victim.

Leftists will move mountains to defend the freedom of a woman to kill an unborn baby, but they won’t lift a finger to defend the freedom of individuals to trade with each other on their own terms. They’ll fight for the freedom to burn the American flag but not for the freedom of Americans to keep the fruits of their labor.
