What does anything I said or didnt say about Bush have to do with my feelings on Obama and his awful economic strategy?
There is a certain thought that must go through liberal minds, that equality is the golden rule. Everything and everyone must have equal time and equal space, equal praise and equal dissent. That is the only logic I can think of when you guys talk about why us Obama dissenters didnt bash Bush enough.
Maybe because we didnt think he was so bad? We liked a lot of his policies? We enjoyed his tax cuts? We dont buy all the global warming/kyoto nonsense?
So tell me Mr. Enlightened, exactly what social issues have I shifted far right on?
Abortion? no Gay rights? no Immigration? uh no Stem Cells? no
What else?
Need I say that you are a far more typical liberal way up in your ivory tower.
Feel free to cast more stones.
And I will continue to consistently and unabashedly express my right as an American citizen to point out all the errors and mistakes that Mr Obama is making.

Yes, because I've made a big issue out of your stand on social issues, so shifting the debate there is a good tactic to divert attention from everything I've said which makes perfect sense. That you're inconsistent and pretend to be somehow a free-thinker when you're lockstep all the way with the intellectual dishonesty that has pervaded the right, transparently so. I at least make no qualms about how far left I am and don't try to pretend I'm anything other than what I am. The whole "well I'm a conservative [when it suits me] but look, my thinking is so independant, really look, really, it is, I promise!" thing is well tread territory, and you're not the first to try it and you won't be the last to try to shift the debate to something irrelevant and away from the original debate when called on it. And good work trying to throw some Fairness Doctrine stuff in there about equal time, equal voices.
This post is one giant straw man.
As usual.
