The Difference

Here's a difference between liberals and conservatives:  Even when conservatives get what they want, they spend the next few years screaming about how they were screwed.  When liberals don't get what they want, they just tell themselves that it all worked out great for them, and forget all about it.

Obama- the perfect liberal President. 



Not very many people will remember this.  It still is too true.

Liberals are often fickle, disorganised, relaxed people used to a life of relative prosperity and things somehow working out for them, and therefore fairly disposed to a vague sort of optimism regardless of what happens.

In a lot of countries they call liberals….simply… “the public”.
I often get very annoyed with the public in my country.

I scope your bitterness. It’s very entertaining and completely justified. And I empathise. I’m not sure however that much comes of ragging on the people who AREN’T bigots, fundamentalists and lunatics.

I take your point, Magpie. I have said before that if you want to know the real difference between liberals and conservatives, you need only look in the bible, where the guy asks God, "am I my brother's keeper?" If you answer yes, you are a liberal and if you answer no, you are a conservative. Obviously, one is preferable to the other. All I am complaining about here is liberals' refusing to accept the fact that conservatives, at least in this country, are not capable of being honest negotiating partners, and that, as long as liberals cling to their delusions about that, they are going to get mugged every time.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
