When was the last time you actually read the Washington Post Op-Ed page? You know, the one that regularly prints columns from Fred Hiatt, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, George Will, Jim Hoagland, Michael Gerson and Robert Kagan? The fact that you call the WashPo “pro-Obama” just proves that you have no idea what you are talking about, and can only spout meaningless GOP talking points – instead of actual facts.

One of the nice things about the fall of Obama is that morons like guy will vanish into the woodwork and never post again.

The coming Great Fall of Obama is going to be a joy to behold.

“Among all Americans, the poll shows a 19-point advantage for the Democratic Party over the Republican Party when it comes to the two parties’ respective favorable images — a finding little changed from last November, when Gallup last updated the parties’ images. Fifty-three percent of Americans today have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, compared to just 34% who have a favorable opinion of the Republican Party.”

38% of *Republicans* have an “unfavorable” view OF THEIR OWN PARTY. The idea of the GOP taking over the White House in 2012 is laughable.

Yeah, what put me off the libertarians for good as a political party was when they nominated the man who dyed himself blue out of fear of Y2K. Sorry, that just screamed “we’re idiots and we’re proud of it!!!”

And then you have gems like Ron Paul running around defaming the brand. Ron Paul, who once again distinguished himself by being the only congressmen out of that entire rogues gallery who actually had the gall to vote against supporting the Iranian dissidents.

I don’t care that the vote was symbolic, I don’t care about all the fancy reasoning that went into explaining your position – you vote in favor of Aminadjab, Ron, and you just lost the last chance at credibility you had left.

Uhm, that is “classical” liberalism or, more recently, libertarianism. The problem is that the lunatics have taken over the libertarian “brand”.

What I fear is things like “intelligent design” creeping into the schools and other “Christian” doctrine being imposed on people. I don’t want to see the abortion or gay rights issues discussed at the national level at all. Those are issues for states or even lower levels of government to decide based on the community values of those locations. If people want government health care, a state is completely within their constitutional rights to provide it if that is what the voters of that state want. Same with such things as unemployment compensation. Those are social matters that the federal government should stay out of.

So if you are against gay marriage, against abortion, and pro business, you should be able to find a place to live that reflects those values. And if you are for those things, the same thing applies.

And that’s what government in this country has come to – a game to see who can get control, just so they can shove their group’s preferences down everybody else’s throats. And those who try to stay out of that game get abused by everybody.

A conservative community should be left alone as should a liberal community.

“PRINCETON, NJ — Despite the results of the 2008 presidential election, Americans, by a 2-to-1 margin, say their political views in recent years have become more conservative rather than more liberal, 39% to 18%, with 42% saying they have not changed.

From MacMind:
“The real point is why Americans are returning to their conservative roots. The answer is because they’ve seen the contrast between what true conservatism is when compared to the in-your-face liberalism we see today.”

Basically, conservatives lost because they had deserted their conservative principles. They’re now headed back that direction. Sarah Palin will be at the front.
