A problem with credibility

Well, apparently people on the left, namely Maureen Dowd and Janine Garafalo, to name only two, are convinced that the Comrade generates rage from many citizens because we just can't handle having a black president.

Actually, I think they're the racists. They're the ones who keep playing the race card. I don't care what color the Comrade is, he's a socialist. That's more important. I'd happily vote for Clarence Thomas, even Juan Williams, who is at least reasonable, even if he's more leftish than me. But an out-and-out socialist, and a marxist at that, no, I don't think so. I wouldn't vote for Pazzo Pelosi, Harry Reid, or Barney Fudd, either, and I do believe they're all caucasians.

I mean, wasn't that what Martin Luther King advised? Judge a man not by his skin color, but by the content of his character.

Perhaps liberals just can't conceive of anyone honestly disagreeing with their views, so with their general inability to even consider that other valid opinions exist, they have to assign other irrelevant motives to their critics. Like, "Since the Comrade is absolutely perfect, there must be something organically wrong with the people who disagree with him." No closed minds there.

This is something we've also heard from David Axelrod. According to a "space count" done by the University of Illinois or someone, about 1.7 million people show up in downtown Washington, DC, expressing their displeasure with socialized medicine, giveaways to scumbag groups like Acorn, the nationalizing of various industries in the USA, etc., and Axelrod's contemplative and insightful assessment of the situation: "They're wrong."

Just heard on the radio that the Comrade is going to Ohio tomorrow -- where they have unemployment of something like 11.5% -- to try to convince them that he's done wonders with the economy. What?? Does he really think he's fooling anyone?

Really, it's actually funny. It reminds me of Tom Hanks in "Castaway" talking to a soccer ball. I didn't realize liberals were such blockheads. Honestly, though I don't agree with them, I would have given them credit for being capable of rational thought. But they're proving that it's simply beyond them. When confronted with logic, they're just totally mystified.

Anyway, I think I finally figured out what the Comrade is going for: a mandate. He just wants the whole country to say, "Sure, go ahead, do whatever you want. We're 100% behind you, no matter what. Just try to leave me bus fare in my paycheck."

That hardly ever happens in real life.

And why on earth would you ask for such abject submission from another person? I find that vaguely creepy.

With that speech he delivered to congress -- as I said before -- I kept expecting him to introduce "his bill." Because clearly he wasn't referring to anything currently on the floor in either house of congress.

So he lies or makes things up -- and possibly he himself believes all this crap -- and then he expects people to believe in him. He has no credibility, and doesn't even seem willing to earn it. He just requires that you hand your life over and trust him. Try to explain your reluctance to do this, and that you really mean it, and he gets on a plane and flies to Minneapolis.

I really don't understand where any of these people on the left grew up. The America where I was raised was always all about freedom, about respecting boundaries, about giving others as much space as you want for yourself. Even though my dad was a Roosevelt Democrat, and used to run for local office as a Democrat just so the Republicans would face some opposition.

It was so frustratng. I'd ask my mom, "What's the government?"

All she ever said was, "The people. The people are the government."

All of these things, dissent, disagreement, even diversity, seem to be completely alien concepts to the left. You've got to be just like them or they can't tolerate it. I came across a blog from some "progressive" last night that was all about "How can we get Glenn Beck off the air?"

Here's one way -- get him to start spouting the nonsense Keith Olberman and Maureen Dowd do. That's a sure way to lose your audience.

Anyway, that's it for now. Mainly I just wanted to post the new picture. I think this is what the Comrade sees when he looks in the mirror. And that's being very kind to him.
