Somebody explain something to me, because I must be misunderstanding.
- The US is a democracy.
- Barack Obama is our president.
- He was elected with a huge electoral margin.
- He's doing exactly what he said he'd do when he was campaigning.
- The percentage of people who approve of him now is much higher than the percentage that voted for him.
At the same time:
- Republican screamers like to characterize liberals as the "hate America crowd," who "blame America first."
- Republican screamers claim to be patriots, and to love our country.
- Republican screamers have often suggested that if liberals don't love our country, they should leave.
- Republican screamers think Obama is a Nazi, or worse, and that he is ruining America.
- Republican screamers don't love Obama, or those who support him, which happens to include two-thirds of the citizenry.
- Republican screamers are railing against America.
More to the point, based on prior claims and protestations, why aren't they leaving?

Over 4000 died while Bush was in office, which is nearly 3 a day, which is, on average, over three times as many as are dying in the few months Obama has been in office. Why doesn't this matter to you?
ReplyDelete-kd
Cause it shouldn't...otherwhise we'd still have an English King and Slaves... and not to pick nits but the number was 4275 deaths/2922 days = 1.46 deaths per day...

ReplyDeletesorry sparky, but that's like saying my suzuki isn't a motorcycle, but instead is a vehicle. and for the record, the spread on obama's majority doesn't matter one bit. he won the election by a wide margin, and enjoys the support of most americans, so sid's observations are correct. but i'm sure you know that and just comment here for the noble purpose of hearing yourself type.
but sid, please don't encourage the right-wing loonies to leave. . . they might get confused and wind up in canada. trust me, we don't want them!
