And while I give FDR many props and hold him up as a revolutionary figure in the party, he was a man not only with personal faults but with a great many policy faults (I always thought Eleanor would have been a better President), that they gloss over seamlessly.<br /><br />Simply put, no President will ever be enough for them. I like Senator Warren greatly but trust me as I say this, were she to become President these same folks would turn on her quicker then any of us could say, 'told you so'.<br /><br />P.S.: MB isn't the brightest of bunch despite what he may think. Many of his arguments (even those based in science) are wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-27388056221140822052013-12-21T15:55:19.181-06:002013-12-21T15:55:19.181-06:00Hey SP,

AAs are used to begging the white man to grant them a few wishes. I smile when these silly, spoiled, self-indulgent wimps even mention PBO's name! They learned nothing including Rachel from the LGBT fight! I want to hear what they have to say when they have been in the trenches for years without a single victory or fighting the same fight for 50 years!

Those of us who have lived through adversity and hardship want some comfort here and there - and we want it for our fellow human beings. But there are some for whom life is easy - they have no real problems to speak of. For them, hardship is something to dabble in - a contrast to their daily lives of privilege. They don't want to give up that privilege - they just want something to play at that will make them feel "alive". <br /><br />Despair and hardship aren't bad, when you can leave them behind any time you please. You can't know what happiness truly is unless you can contrast it with sadness, and vice versa. So they play with sadness like a toy, because they can. And our lives are just toys to them as well. True pain and sadness bring compassion and empathy, and fake begets fake. Problem is, when they play their silly little games, they screw us all. @ReasonVsFearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133757300515849967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-1208526988176685372013-12-21T13:54:46.840-06:002013-12-21T13:54:46.840-06:00Every time I see one of the emotarian meltdowns be...Every time I see one of the emotarian meltdowns because progress has been made that wasn't enough for them, because they had a better solution in their heads, I think of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". The father knew what was coming and no one would listen to him. He was a prophet. Then the father did everything to reach his son in a frozen NYC. It was a good thing he had the equipment and knew how to traverse an Antarctic like climate in American citizens. The people he took with him to save his son, "respected" (worshipped) him to the degree that one sacrificed his life so that the father would keep moving to save his son. Then, what was left of the U.S. government pulled out all the stops to save him, his son, and a handful of people. They sent a helicopter, that somehow flew to Mexico from NYC. It was sickening and left me wondering if that's what a lot of people want in a parent--- strangely, extraordinarily heroic behavior in spite of all obstacles and contrary to reality. <br /><br />That's some spoiled wanting right there. Wanting it from one's own parent is bad enough, but demanding it from the POTUS is unreal. Most children from 8 up are more realistic than that.wileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234314999465951053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-15787768774552938782013-12-21T12:29:14.699-06:002013-12-21T12:29:14.699-06:00Oh contra-air.

They don't want to do the long, hard thing that gets it done right. They want Daddy to do it for them. Makes me wonder if they even know how to wipe themselves.Tien Lenoreply@blogger.com
