True Blue Progressivism

Two Quotes…

Armando quotes Kevin Drum from his article at MJ yesterday titled “Obama’s Discontents“:

I’ve got all sorts of complaints about Obama. [. . .] Still, none of that comes within light years of providing a reason to turn on him. Conservatives gave Bush five or six years before they really turned on him,  [. . .] Given the cards he was dealt, he hasn’t done badly.

(Emphasis supplied.) Sheesh Kevin. “Turn on him?” What does that even mean? Was some loyalty oath violated? Yes, let’s be blind loyalists like the Bush supporters were. Again, sheesh. As Bill Maher says, he’s not your boyfriend.

Militarytracy replies in the comments:

First of all, I was never in love with Obama.  I saved my delusional self for Edwards, and I have proof of that love making.  I have never seen Obama through any lens other than this is the man who gets the job.  He has been employed by me.  This is the kicker for me though…..

Conservatives gave Bush five or six years before they really turned on him, and even then they revolted more against the Republican establishment than against Bush himself.

Yes Kevin, I aspire to be as politically ignorant as the Republican base!  I have failed miserably!

    Plot Introduction

    The story revolves around Long Islander Ethan Allen Hawley, who works as a clerk in a grocery store he used to own. His wife and children resent their lowly social and economic position, and don’t put any value in the high levels of honesty and integrity that Ethan struggles to maintain in a corrupt society. Under this constant pressure, Hawley will eventually manage to get back the store by renouncing his morals, but the new-found wealth will not bring happiness.

    Republican-Lite doesn’t even inspire the Republicans.

    And the center is supposed to like Less Filling Tastes Crappy?

  3. One fires them or lays them off.

    It’s just business, man.
