This unknown guy, from that little known right wing blog really nails it.

In May of this year, President Obama brought together a group of presidential historians for what was supposed to be the first of many meetings. By available accounts, he was curious about the rise of the tea party, curious as to whether there had been precedents for this sort of backlash against the established order.
Americans have given big mandates to presidents only to send them packing when they lost the contingent mandate given by the electorate. Woodrow Wilson led the country through the Great War, only to be rebuffed, and to die later a broken man when he tried to impose the League of Nations on a country and a Senate dubious of it. Wilson was an absolutist, which doomed his cause. Of "the League fight" he would say, "Dare we reject it and break the heart of the world?" But the opponents of the League were not intimidated.
"As a student of history"—such is the way Mr. Obama described himself in his 2009 Cairo speech—our president would have known that a command economy is alien to the American temperament, that unfettered government spending was bound to arouse the antagonism of the American people. We were not all Keynesians after all, and the American people—to liberals' wonderment—cared about budget deficits.
The libs wont believe it, or think it doesn't apply to barry, and the right..has known this for a year or so now.

Am I the only one who finds it rather funny that he used the word "your" instead of "our"?

I could explain how magnets work easier than I can explain the joy of having those two tards on ignore.
I just have to make sure I log in, otherwise their posts glare at me like some fat chick spilling over the top of too tight jeans in front of me waiting in line.

what makes dawg pathetic is this:
For years, dawg comes on here complaining about someone or some group threatening the Constitution. Yet, at it's very core, the Constitution sets out rule of law. Key to that, and key to the body of the Constitution are elections. In other words, one of the salient points of our society is that we change our government via election. Thus, while I may not be too enthused, Pat Toomey is OUR Senator for the next 6 years, and I will respect him as such. Likewise, I may have complained about Bush, but always in the role as OUR President, and Commander-in-Chief. Anyone who cannot accept that concept really doesn't grasp the whole point of our system of government, and, given that, should take any arguments about 'Constitutionality' and shove it so far up their ass as to be able to taste them. Just my two cents.

I don't get it. If you block out those two there's pretty much nothing to read on this forum. :P

Don't kid yourself...he's reading them.
But I gotta admit, posting while he continues his little charade is a fair bit of fun.
