To describe Obama as an authoritarian leftist is the most laughable thing I have heard all day. An authoritarian leftist would have fought for single payer,not Mitt Romneys,Newt Gingrichs and the heritage foundations health plan.An authoritarian leftist would not have extended the Bush tax cuts in the first place.Obamas dream act is less generous to illegals then Reagans amnesty plan and the immigration plan Bush and McCain tried to pass etc
Soon a true liberal like FDR,Elizabeth Warren,Bernie Sanders etc is going to make it to The White House and they will be begging for a moderate democrat like Obama and Clinton
Oh, come on Tsing, I have no fight with you. You are a smart guy, and I was really sad to read your concerns after the election. I hope you're feeling better now. It Was Just an Election. And, we all know, all politico's are full of crap.
Not too sure what a True Liberal really is any more. A never ending genesis or evolution of political ideas as they pertain to the current state of affairs I guess. I believe 100% in Incentives, both in business and in politics. Not the give me free stuff kind of thing, more like the help people who need it, and make them do something to feel good about themselves. I really don't think that a big percentage of Americans would prefer to sit on their asses and collect gov't money. Workfare not welfare. At the same time, I hate the idea of having a few super rich types make a fool of their 'candidates' by throwing money at them, just to toss them under the bus if they lose. We need Better Thinkers, no Extremes, keep things in the center, for the good of America.
He was raised by socialists but he prefers Marxism. His failures we have experience so far are nothing compared to what's coming. It's not a 'fiscal cliff', it going to be a 'fiscal tsunami'. Did you see Harry Reid say he wants credit for some $billion spending cut somewhere and Pelosi said she wants credit for some $1.2 trillion in cuts somewhere. The democraps don't get it. You can't sweep this under the rug and play games with numbers. The tsunami is coming sooner than they think. http://www.hoover.org/news/press-releases/131602
Ah, come on. Dick Morris has someone chasing his tail on predictions I guess. Sorry, but pspr you seem to be so gloomy about the future. Do you really think things would be rosy if Romney were to have won? I'm asking the real pspr, not the partisan pspr. FWIW, I do think you have valid points much of the time. I know 'Big Deal' or whatever, but as I say FWIW. I have lived through a lot of doom and gloom in my decades here on earth, and have always felt that a positive attitude can help, and certainly not hurt. So far, so good.
