Insanity

Sat Sep 06, 2008 at 06:10:44 PM PDT

Can someone tell me what it is conservatives are so afraid will happen if Obama wins? They sure sound angry and terrified about the prospect, but why?

It can't be that they're afraid women will be suddenly awarded the right of reproductive choice; women already have it and the GOP did nothing to change that when given the chance of a lifetime. Fuel prices have tripled under the Republican reign, they seem fine with it, and so we have to assume that that worry is not a factor in the conservative calculus. Nor can they be legitimately concerned that democrats will vastly increase federal spending, or enact horrendously expensive new entitlement programs supported by taxes socializing healthcare costs and bar the government from benefiting from the cost saving magic of the free market. Nope, those horses have all fled the barn, no use closing the door now.  

Maybe they're worried democrats will be vacationing, sound asleep at the switch, while the intel community frantically tries to warn them of a vast, pending terrorist attack that could kill thousands of innocent Americans. Some might even be concerned that democrats will exploit such a tragedy for personal political gain and still fail to capture or kill the criminal masterminds that planned it. Others might speculate Obama will respond by foolishly attacking the wrong nation on a false premise and get us embroiled in a trillion dollar bloody boondoggle that wrecks out military readiness, destroys our international credibility, and gets thousands of US soldiers and untold hundreds of thousands of innocent bystanders killed or maimed for life. Worst case scenario: after all that misery and money, weak willed democrats will roll over and hand a date for US failure to the insurgents in Iraq.

Then again, maybe conservatives are thinking closer to home. What if progressive economic policies wrecked the economy, rocked Wall Street, caused hundreds of thousands of people to lose their homes and jobs, and turned over our national economic future to the tender mercies of fundamentalist Sunni Monarchs and the communist Chinese? Or expand government intrusiveness making toilet paper out of the US Constitution? Maybe, in their darkest fears, they're afraid democrats would foolishly go on vacation and ignore their responsibilities while a massive hurricane lumbers into the US coast at a slow jog and sinks a major American city.

At least one source of conservative anxiety is imminently plausible: Democrats might rescind tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs overseas, divert corporate welfare from insanely profitable corporations to uninsured or sick children, raise taxes on billionaires and oil companies, and create a more equitable healthcare system. That such possibilities strike fear into the corrupt soul of conservatism says a lot more about their decadent priorities than the middle class values of their opponents.

I guess that's what confuses a lot of voters: Conservatives are worried that Democrats might do the same astonishingly lousy job Republicans have done for the last eight years. To avoid even the possibility that that might happen, conservatives prescribe electing more members from the same crew who wrecked the country, in what is clearly to any lucid external observer the ridiculous and desperate hope that the same party will fix it all by continuing, uninterrupted, the same policies that produced the damage in the first place. In the alternate reality fabricated by the seamlessly integrated conservative PR apparatus, this extension of the failed status quo is called change, in the rest of the world it's one of the better known definitions of insanity.

Could it be because he sat in a white people hating church for 22 years, G-d damning America? Could it be because he's a wimp that won't defend America? Could it be because he is afraid of God and guns? Or could it be that every negro politician for centuries has turned his city, his state, or his nation into a cesspool, proving the negro unfit for anything more than following orders?

I'm not running for President. And I don't hate black people, I just don't think they have the intelligence to lead. Obamba is running for President, and he did sit and approve of his church policy of hating white people and hating America.

Why, thank you, Predator! Thank you for giving us the frank lowdown on
why Obama is absolutely unacceptable to rightwingers as president of
the United States:

Because he's a "NEGRO"!

Unlike you, most hyper-conservatives are unwilling to stand up and
proudly proclaim to the world that they are, in fact, racist dimwits
with room-temperature IQs.

I commend you for your forthrightness and honesty, Sir! You are a true
paragon of morons; an exemplar of imbeciles nationwide! And as an
Obama supporter, and to the extent that you speak as a Republican for
your fellow Republicans, I sincerely and fervently pray that you are
somehow able to extend the expression of your stupefyingly idiotic
skinhead opinions beyond the confines of this Forum!

I'm taking it you spoke with Mattews personally. But MSNBC (might
want to check this one out) had these two liberal gentlemen that were
hired as "newscasters". Suddenly remarks like ...."well, it was a
good speech if you like that kind of thing". "Using the image of
911 was abusing the victims"......"Governor Palin should have aborted
that child"......so on and so on. MSNBC received over 20,000 phone
complaint calls on the anchors....not to mention...."their
sponsors".

They are gone right?......Why would MSNBC remove them from the
"newcasters" appointment? Weren't they doing a fantastic job?
