Wishful thinking, Glenn?
AND LIKE IT!
Gah.. I just had a flashback to the "Heaven's Gate" folks while reading that line........
He'd never make it in a Harry Turtledove novel.
Yes, that is true, especially in the SciFi, alternate universe/bizzaro kind of way. I loved how Skousen said that the Black slaves cheerfully trooped up the gang plank of the slave ship to come to America, but they were deliberately lazy and slow working. It would seem to be a contradiction in descriptions, but that can happen in SciFi and alternative worlds.
That's exactly what I meant. He thinks he's V but he's really Lewis Prothero.
For all the whining and ranting that he and the Teabaggers have been shouting about for the last 8 months... I defy them to demonstrate one meaningful way that President Obama's administration has hurt them! Not potential, not slippery slope, not symbolic... I want to see a personal anectodote of how their rights, freedoms, or opportunities have been hindered by the new administration.
I personally know dozens of people who have struggled with their health insurance companies to get treatments. Unable to MediCal (medicaid) because they had $2,000 in the bank when they were trying to get treatment for brain cancer. Divorced on paper in order to bankrupt himself in order to qualify for Leukemia treatments because he was denied by his insurance company.
These are people who have personal reasons to be angered by the system. The people who are protesting now speak of fear of govt. control when there is no evidence of it. Fake fear inducing boogey men like ACORN and SEIU.
What it comes down to is that these rich White people have theirs and are afraid that it's going to be taken away from them. Well the truth is, the risk of losing what you have was the same in 2008 as it is in 2009, but now they have someone they can blame.

Republicans provide a lot data that can be used against them in the next election
If the Democrats wanted to use Republicans’ words and actions against them in the next Presidential election they would have a lifetime of data.
You could start with the general election with Republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin. 98% of their campaign was attacks, criticism and negative ads. Their vision for America and policy took a back seat.
It is a fact that most of what they accused their opponent of was falsehoods, and in many cases out-right lies. For example: There is tons of footage at lynch mob rallies of them calling a fellow American Presidential hopeful a "communist", "Marist" and "un-American". On top of that both of them sat back and did nothing while some in attendance yelled "off with his head", "kill the ni*%er" and "he is a terrorist" referring to Barack Obama (John finally said something about a week later). Since losing the Presidency to Barack Obama all they do is criticize and attack while trying to obstruct him from doing his job.
Republicans in general have abandoned their "core principles, values and responsibility" to the American people and replaced it with out-right lies, distortion and miss-representation, and they do so with no shame and no regard to TV cameras.
They show no interest in the well being of the American people, instead most of their time is spent attacking and criticizing the President. Republicans are proud to go on the record and state that they opposed universal affordable healthcare for the American people. Not caring or knowing how that will look in the next election. One politician, ignoring the well being of the American people, said "Healthcare will be Obama's waterloo". Meaning.. If we deny Obama a Healthcare victory his presidency will be a failure. Republicans are more interested in an Obama failure then they are about the good the welfare of the American people.
As I said above there is plenty of data and it grows by the day. Stupidity is an on going thing with Republicans today and they are providing America with a lot of nonsense that could be used against them in the future.
Who's civil rights is getting took Becky? What is the reason to suggest someone will lose their freedom. The reason why our country is like this is because of your right-wing political friends. You are throwing nothing but smears confusing people about the actual truth.
