After Trump’s smashing victories, a small percentage of conservatives have finally admitted the lefties were right." I'm tempted to ask where did conservatives think all the racists went after they left the Democratic Party in the 1970s and 80s, Area 51? Of course they know where they went. Barry Goldwater and then Tricky Dick said c'mon over to our house. It was called the Southern Strategy for a reason and it worked until it didn't. DFB knows this too. They all know it; this denialism has been strictly for public consumption and nothing more.

Many liberals would never ask themselves why they were so wrong about the surge in Iraq while George Bush was so right. The question is too uncomfortable."<br /><br />David David David...what kind of horsesh-t false equivalency is this argument? Obama is not a Muslim. This is a fact and quite a black and white one. Many liberals would never ask themselves about being wrong about the surge in Iraq being a success because at the point in the war that the surge was implemented, it was a desperate stop gap measure in context of a whole host of f-cked up decisions that led up to it in the first place. The whole Iraq war by your boy Bush is couched in questionable decisions, layered in even more questionable decisions leading up to the war including motives for said war, etc that to focus myopically on the surge and whether it is a success or not is dismissing the larger picture. Your pathetic earnest desire for 'both sides do it!' means you don't measure magnitude and depth.

Yes, the Republicans ...couldn't stop laughing. Yes, the Republicans have been a party of bigots, idiots, etc for some time now. <br /><br />All the nice labels in the world aren't going to hide what is really going on in the Republican party, as one by one from Paul Ryan on down stand up and say they'll work with or support Trump. My god, how they most love their positions to want to toss everything away for racism, plain dumb shit. <br /><br />The pictures say it all. Where do these people even come from. Trump has now given voice to it all and its all O.K. to say it now. Oh, boy, if he gets elected the line ups to claim refugee status in other countries is going to grow...........ah American the country of declinee.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-38108102525938277812016-06-11T19:28:21.299-05:002016-06-11T19:28:21.299-05:00HOLY FUCK, SOMEONE SAID IT.
That said, two things...<i><b>HOLY FUCK, SOMEONE SAID IT.</b></i><br /><br />That said, two things: 1) You notice their list of "smart liberals" is people like Johnathan fucking Chait? and 2) You notice how nearly every sign and bumper sticker these rightists have used these past eight years has been shamelessly stolen from ones we used to have in the (seeming) decades of the Bush Junta?<br /><br />Ah well, I'm still fucking stoked someone said it who also admits to actual, factual conservatism. IF they can say it, there's still a faint glimmer of hope.Chan Kobunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002224390133771585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-75112069458538007612016-06-11T17:20:05.882-05:002016-06-11T17:20:05.882-05:00Dear Neo Tuxedo - you beat me to it.

Cuz prolly DFB is correct!

The question is too uncomfortable.</i><br /><br />Well, he got one thing right: many liberals would never ask themselves that. Not, as he goes on to claim, because the question is uncomfortable in and of itself, but because we're uncomfortable around the sort of people who can ask it with a straight face, and because it poses questions that are in and of themselves uncomfortable. Is he going to say something even more jarringly at odds with any reality we recognize? Is he going to start ranting about Obama's plan to blow up the moon and destroy the farm belt with a rain of green cheese meteors, or about the Vegetable People of Venus beaming their weird green pornography into his vulnerable brain-meats? Is he going to talk about something even more obviously absurd, like the Amero? How blatantly crazy do the words falling out of his pie-hole have to get before not blurting out "This man is boxers-on-head loonie!" becomes more rude than continuing to bite our tongues while this blivet spews his drivel? Worst of all, what in the late God's name do, or indeed <i>can</i>, we do about a media apparatus that treats someone like this as worth taking seriously?Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.com
