I mean, I've read one too many liberal writers and pundits babble about how "dead" conservative philosophy is. Some still suffer from "Delayed Political Development" by insisting on writing about how "crazy" Bush was/is.
Why are they wasting intellectual energy on this? Can it be to deflect blame for their (Democratic) own failures?
Read more about how liberals are abandoning Obama here.
Yet there are lessons we can all learn from Obama's lost year. Chief among them is the insight that when you project all your hopes, desires, and even fears onto a Rorschach test of a politician—whether Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, or otherwise—not only are you bound to be disappointed, you might just deserve it, too. Government officials use force and the threat thereof to impact our lives, not always (or even most of the time) for the better, so it behooves all citizens to get over their schoolyard crushes and figure out just what their objects of political desire plan to do with all that power.A message I've been trying to convey on this blog. The hype surrounding Obama wasn't just childish, it was unfair. It got to be people were saying stuff like "he's the most intelligent man in politics." Others believe he lives in a perpetual "big picture" world. That's some Magic Laso hurled at him.We just don't "see" his brilliance. America went from the "dumbest" leader to the "smartest" leader in one election swing. Talk about neurotic.
Liberals are turning on their own is nothing new in politics. Consvervaties did the same thing under Bush Sr. in the early 1990s.

By the way, I, The Commentator, officially remove the presumptuous and annoying label "progressive" from liberals. Just who the fuck do they think they are appropriating that word for themselves? Fuck them.
Thank you.
