Leftists are growing increasingly pessimistic about the political direction of America, which means a neo-fascist future is right around the corner again. On the Daily Kos, Ray Pensador explained Tuesday his theory on Why Rick Perry Is Likely to Win the Presidency in 2012.
Liberals, he complained, think that merely exposing and criticizing statements and actions of the crazy, loony right...is somehow enough to convince others about the wrongness of these things. Thats totally wrong, writes Pensador, because America is a deeply sadistic pile of Puritans that live about five minutes away from our deepest historical atrocities:
This activity springs from the faulty assumption widely shared by the Left, that our perception of reality based on logic, reason, science, empirical evidence, and willingness to compromise, is an attitude widely shared by society at large. This attitude, at the end, will be one of the main reasons the country continued its march toward a neo-fascist future under the total control of corporations and religious fundamentalists.
The great satirist, comedian, and social commentator Bill Maher has touched on this subject, pointing out that "a majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government or explain what the Bill of Rights is; 24 percent cannot name the country America fought in the revolutionary war; nearly half of Americans don't know that states have two senators; 18 percent believe that the sun revolves around the earth." And only 39 percent believe in evolution...
Pensador complained the average liberal has an underdeveloped sense of empathy because "the majority of them live comfortable middle- or upper-middle class lives, and other influences like the seemingly omniscient propagandist effect of the corporate-owned media." If the corporate media were so powerful, how did Obama get elected again?

My fervent hope now is that President Perry and large R majorities in Congress will have the b@lls to roll back decades of socialism.
Oh snap, Daily Kos is still relevant? /s =.=
No Way. The Obama is the great hopey, changey. They should be rejoicing at their fine pick of such a statesman. They are stellar at seeing through the BS of crony-ism and power.

I think liberals are getting desperate and paranoid.
******
Me: Where was this "legacy of puritanism" when Obama was elected in 2008?
If the "legacy of puritanism" had been around in 2008, then how come Obama still won in 2008? Absurd.
Sounds to me like liberals are turning into bad losers and desperately resorting to calling people ugly names if they even dare to think about not voting for Obama in 2012.
Did it occur to liberals that this is the main reason President has a good chance of losing in 2012: Obama has shown that he is in over his head and that it is becoming painfully clear with each passing day that Obama simply does not have the leadership qualities and experience needed to be an effective President?
It has nothing to do with a "legacy of puritanism".
And all those statistics gleaned from Maher need a question asked: Aren’t these the people that elected Barack Obama?
Daily Kos members are the reason Casey Anthony is dead.
HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
What nutjobs.

IDIOTS
The steady downward spiral of the irrational anti-American fairies at DK continues to puzzle left-wing analysts who have never held jobs.
Neo-fascist? Isn’t one of the aspects of fascism known as corporatism? Corporatism is when the govt controls the company but puts in place a puppet head. GM, Chrysler, Obama, anyone?
The left are truly dumb shits that can’t even understand their own accusations.
[The great satirist, comedian, and social commentator Bill Maher]
Now that’s funny right there.
Leftwingtards are sick.
This author hasn’t seen the YouTube video of the “Detroit” lady talking about Obama’s stash has he? I didn’t think so.
AAAAh ! The great satirist, comedian, and social commentator Bill Maher
HUH, None of the above
race bating, socialist, angry, leftest, democrat, little weasel prick, marxist, not
funny at all, steals from real comedians, and everyone knows their own stuff, bill.
“of the appropriation of other people’s land and property”
Uh, yeah. Since when did you have a problem with it? Oh, yeah, when it’s done against “people of color” who didn’t vote with your side.

President Obama: “I Have Bent Over Backwards”
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/07/11/993434/-President-Obama:-I-Have-Bent-Over-Backwards
>>> There is a strong legacy of atrocities, of the enslavement and extermination of millions of people, of the appropriation of other people’s land and property, of cruelty, of unimaginable greed
But enough about Detroit, Kos also doesn’t seem to like Perry.
When I first read this I thought it was a new DUFU.
” If the corporate media were so powerful, how did Obama get elected again?”
Simple. Obama is one of them [corporatists]. See my tagline.
