David, thanks for the review of this book. I have yet to read it but am eager to get my hands on it. One of the things that will be interesting going forward is to see how Obama handles the tension between ensuring that the economy recovers sufficiently to give him a chance at re-election when doing those things are at odds with his intent to destroy the country a la Cloward-Piven. Of course there are many avenues for destroying America, some of which are not economic in form. This is a critically important story and must get widely disseminated. Those not paying attention will not believe it at first and will accuse the messengers of all kinds of conspiracy theories. Your biography provides an important testimonial from someone who has walked in those shoes..
I wonder if Richard Cohen can write for normal Americans. It seems as though he writes only for the grievance-mongering, race-baiting, victim-pimps of which he is one. Has he ever called up Sarah Palin and asked her what she meant by her remark? Didn't think so. So add hypocrite to his CV as well. The fact is there are a lot more Americans who think like Sarah than there are who think like Richard Cohen. That is probably what is bothering him. Luxuriating in obsession can be dangerous for the "psuedo-intellectual" if it is not kept in check. His warning signs are going off.
This is a dilemma and it is critical that we don't screw this up. McCain and Dole were go along to get along Senators who were corrupted by too much time spent in Washington and adopting positions for political purposes, not the other way around. We don't need a typical politician who changes positions purely for political gain (Romney, Huckabee). Further, we need someone who can really bring the house down with their oratorical skills (Ron Paul fails here). I prefer a governor because they have executive experience and secondly, they can claim to be a Washington outsider. I am thinking about Mitch Daniels, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Haley Barbour. I love Chris Christie's pugnacious style but I think we need to wait on him. I love Sarah Palin and would support her all day long but electability is also important. Her negatives concern me as does her relatively brief stint as Governor. I must say that the liberals did an absolute hatchet job on her putting her in position to resign as governor. They were absolutely scared sh*tless of her and it worked. I also like Jan Brewer in Arizona. It is a wide open field and that is the difficulty right now.
Thank you RWand J, Hilarious!!!
Rush is living rent free in that vast empty cavity of Ed's cranium.
KO is exhibit A for the rage filled, hate spewing uber lefty. He revels in his own lack of civility and centered his show around the denunciation of an ideological opponent each night. I think he does more harm to the libtard brand than anything. Caustic and acerbic are not attractive qualities and poisoning the public discourse with his contributions, especially on a cable "show" tends to legitimize that behavior for those so inclined. For those uninfected with liberal dementia, I suspect it repels more than it attracts.
No they are maintaining their membership ranks pure and simple. One of the growth strategies in liberal ideology is to maintain a monopoly on the dialogue. The less exposure to the competing point of view the more effective their libels and slanders are against a conservative perspective, ie racist, sexist, homophobic, knuckle-dragging dimwits. It is an effective strategy.
As an example, there was a thread analyzing the reasons for the blow out loss in the election. One poster suggested that no one had yet mentioned racism as an explanation. In a post that was censored and never published, I suggested to the poster that if the only tool in his toolbag is a hammer, every problem he encounters is going to look like a nail. That racism exists between the ears and that his were no exception.
Puff Host censored my reply. Typical lefties.
For the past week of so, I have ventured over to the Puffington Host to engage in some entertaining give and take with the standard liberals who frequent and comment on the site. One of the things that I have discovered is that when I have completed a fairly effective argument against a liberal point of view, it never gets posted. No profanity, no name calling, nothing in the least bit offensive, they just don't like the lucidity of my argument so they don't show it. That is the way liberals carry on. They just shut you up and pretend you don't exist.
PJ, what I expect is that the media will use every trick they can devise to make both the Tea Party and the Republicans they elected look as bad as possible overblowing internal fights when it suits their purpose and otherwise blaming both for any obstruction to the liberal agenda. Contrary to some other bright posters on this thread, I believe the media still retains substantial clout to frame the narrative that they choose and particularly for those who are not paying attention. The Liberals held Congress for the last 2 years of Bush's administration but no one from the MSM ever challenged Obama's or any other liberal's tarnishing of Bush as the singular epicenter of economic destruction. The same storyline will become inverted and the new Republican controlled House will receive plenty of liberal media scrutiny in as negative a light as can be created. Therefore they need to work with new media when available and be prepared to effectively defend their perspectives with the LSM when confronted by them.
Hey Rethug, you need to get a grip man. All that hatred has diminished your keyboarding skills. Try using some sentences with punctuation or do you not know what that is? Spell check is another idea.
Aside from the grammatical nits, you display an irrational even psychotic paranoid view of your fellow Americans. Are you blogging from a place that cares for intellectually or occupationally disadvantaged?
