The Rage on the Left Is Just Beginning

If you are a right-winger who does not like President Obama and calls his policies “socialist,” you’ve got to hear what is going on among America’s left-wingers.
In fact, you can even read it for yourself in The New York Times. Left-wing columnist Maureen Dowd has written several columns dripping with contempt for Obama since he struck a deal with Republicans to cut spending but chose not to increase taxes in order to lower our nation's debt.
And Paul Krugman the Nobel Prize-winning economist has long complained in his New York Times columns that the president displayed weakness by not insisting on a larger stimulus package – even as the right wing has condemned the stimulus as a waste of money and a failure for not lowering the unemployment rate.
And now Professor Drew Westen, in an essay in the New York Times magazines, writes that the Democrat in the White House is failing to respond to right-wing bullying instigated by the rich who have created the “greatest levels of economic inequality and the there greatest levels of corporate influence on politics since the Depression…”
The anger coming at President Obama from the left is being fueled by polls that show most Americans, and even the majority of Republicans, think the president should have insisted on having the rich pay more taxes as part of any deal on raising the debt ceiling.

Oh, just forget it.
Keep laughing knucklehead
Considering what it did to the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and the People’s Republic of China; and considering what it’s doing to Vietnam, Cuba, and many nations of Western Europe, this infatuation one sees with communism (aka state socialism) is a bit difficult to understand.
The generation now passing from the scene understood this only too well, and expended countless lives and dollars fighting against it.
Now, the United States of America not only surrenders to it without a shot being fired, but embraces it.
Live long enough, see everything.
Compromise never works and it just pisses off everyone. They should have held the line and let the voters break the logjam one way or the other in 2012. Of course, I’m confidant it’s going to break our way as all true red blooded patriotic Americans are hardworking, capitalism loving individualists and loathe socialism/communism/Marxism. Socialism has failed once again and is about to be dumped on the ash heap of history along with our dear Marxist leader.
Hiding amongst the rich folks he publicly abhors.
Hmmm. How did that turn out?
We went from two ME wars to three, not counting "secret" operations in Pakistan and Somalia.
Note: LIBYA DIDN'T ATTACK US! That makes this a preemptive attack.
Obama's war in Libya is costing us $100,000 and has killed hundreds of civilians. The rebels we support are anti American Islamists who will form a worse government than before.
The rich can afford a recession even a depression with more taxes..
The poor cannot.. socialists are Vampires.. bleeding everyone..
Socialism is parasitism and a Tapeworm to an economy..
Democrats and some republicans are hosts to parasites..
They should be shunned.. and treated with poison to parasites..
The poison is lack of money...
The last thing the federal government needs IS MORE MONEY...
It should be TREATED with no more money.. Starved..
rich pay more taxes = more poor and unemployment
Expanded the war to Yemen...
Guess they are now wishing they voted for Cancles-Clinton.
The Hildabeast would have been better for them.
Yeah I hear you on that.
But the ChitCago Politics have gone national now. Every key Admin Dem (incuding O’SpendsALot) are sh^tting in the back yard, and it is beginning to really stink. Moves Old School Dems (not Progressive Socialists) to the middle for the next vote.
The Democratic Party has left it’s base and gone way left this time.
The ‘fair & balanced’ drone Juan doesn’t have a clue, he and the rest of the Fox bore-rons don’t either. The end of the statist in government and their media projectionist are in our fondest dreams.
The left could chant, “Workers of the world unite!!” except, of course, there aren’t that many workers left which is kind of the problem in the first place. It is so confusing to be a socialist anymore.
