      Imagine if a Democrat had said this anytime between 2000 and 2009?

        Exactly. They've been falsely accusing Democrats of "rooting for failure" when we would merely point out failures that have happened. And now they (Republicans/conservatives) are OPENLY, OPENLY rooting for Obama's failure and yet no one is saying anything.

        What liberal media?

          I'd like to clarify that when I emphasized that Republicans were OPENLY rooting for failure, I am not implying, nor is it true, that Democrats were rooting for failure in a subtle way nor "rooting for failure" at all.

            The radical right has been accusing the Left of "rooting for failure", yet not a single person on the Left has uttered such words.  Now the entire GOP and RNC are openly rooting for failure and continue to support anyone that roots for failure and the librul MSM is bending over supporting these anti-American hypocrites.  Sadly, these scum are still surprised as of why they are a minority.

      "... we view it as an existential threat." - Larson

       

      I know its not really doable, but it sure is a shame that there isn't some FCC rule that prevents these trogs from using words that they don't even remotely understand.

        He does remotely understand existentialism.

        He understands the choice aspect of it:  One chooses to be successful or to fail.  One chooses their sexuality.  One chooses to have the Bible be the moral compass of their life (and which passages apply).

         

        The threat which President Obama is putting forward is that every One must be responsible for their choices and the outcomes which result.  CEOs of banks must give up their bonuses because they made bad choices which caused their banks to lose money.  Talk radio mouthpieces are responsible for what they say.  

        Right-wing existentialism is threatened by having to take responsibility for their choices and actions.  Outcomes can no longer be blamed on something else.

      The clap-trap flatulence emitted from this oaf Larson, connotes the true meaning of ignoramus while imparting “Sedition” covertly.
