I particularly love how our trolls have responded to the consensus of “screw em, let it rip” by magnanimously offering to let the grownups offer their input in negotiations.

Add me to the consensus.

What’s the key to Obamacare? Forced participation. There’s nothing you can do about it, you will participate. Some are waived from it by the president, becasue it’s a terrible program, as he knows. But you have to abide by it so that it will stand. Well, there isn’t any way to force House Republicans to put on a show of negotiation on the fiscal cliff – and there can be no beneficial negotiation with those who seek to do harm. Republicans should stand down, and let the Democrats have what they want. If what they want is good, why should they condider it to be bad for us to let them have it? Standing down is standing down, why worry about the motive?

Heh. Absolutely no self-awareness, and zero insight into the workings of their own hearts and minds. They live in dream worlds of wishful thinking and projection.

You are correct, and I apologize. And I wish no personal ill on anyone here, and in fact, wish you all well.

But, when the talk turns to “give them their way so that the country will burn” or derides all Obama supporters as shiftless “takers,” or links Obama with a “final solution,” I do get a little riled.

And don’t tell anyone, but, while I think that the Republicans should make key concessions, Ialso think that tough negotiations over the budget will yield a better conclusion, for the nation.

Cheers

We don’t agree on much but just wanted to say I thought this was a very classy post. Thank you.

You know, you had conservative Utopia during the Bush years

We did? News to me.

Please explain.

Who knew that conservatives were such a weepy, whiny lot?

Oh, wait. I did.

I only wish it were true that you were going to get out of the way.

After the 2000 election, your side never weeped and whined.

Instead, you did the following.

1. Had your candidate concede that election, then renege on his concession.

2. Held the entire country hostage for several weeks with legal challenges. During this time, you also had your all-Democrat Florida Supreme Court illegally try to re-write election law after the election had concluded, in order to give the election in Florida to their candidate. A “bitterly divided” SCOTUS smacked that naked Judicial Activism down 9-0.

3. Had several of your prominent members of Congress (including the now most senior US Senator, Dan Inouye), show up at the official Electoral College Vote in D.C. and demand that the person in charge refuse to certify the results. Said person in charge was your own losing candidate.

4. And then sent your Democrat Media down to Florida to re-count the votes, solely to prove that your candidate had really won. Their examination widened Bush’s lead instead.

5. You then continued to weep and whine until 2004. After that election, you then resumed weeping and whining about how Bush “stole” that election as well. Poor Junior Kennedy wrote countless articles in Rolling Stoned about how Bush “stole” the state of Ohio from Thurston the Gigolo. Democrat weeping and whining then continued until January of 2009.

6. F-

Quite right. Don’t forget the relentless drumbeat of the Leftist media.

The deck is well and truly stacked. And they did the stacking right in front of us.

Look to Europe, about another chapter:

The muzzies invade, legally and illegally, demand that the Europeans change their culture/laws to accpet theirs, while demanding that the locals pay for their Utopian 7th century idiocies and 72 virgins.

Meh, let it be!

Thing is, Democrats live in the country, too.

They are low-information voters because of their indoctrination since youth. While we were sleeping these past 50 years, the disciples of Alinsky took over the school boards, the school book publishers, the teaching colleges and, as a result, the teachers became indoctrinated and passed the disease onto their charges.

Actually, they are so low information that you could convince them to vote Republican if you just went out and did the same thing the Democrats did. They won’t trust anything they see on TV, because both sides call each other liers, but they will believe a person that talks to them personally.
