S'matter, did I hurt your feelings?

No, I Didn't Get the Memo

No, I didn't get the memo that I was irrelevant.

>> Doesn't make it any less so.

Hey, didn't your fearless leader Obama say that he was going to be INCLUSIVE of ALL Americans, and there were no longer red states and blue states but the United States?

Apparently YOU didn't get THAT memo.

>> Yes, he did. And he will. But I am not Obama. I lead no one, and am beholden to no one. Obama's a much better man than I, I'll give him that.

>>Look, if you come here for the sole purpose of raining on our parade, and if you have nothing more to offer than sour grapes-without even a hint of humility, a desire to suck it up and work for the good of everyone, then all I have to say to you is,

Fuck You.

F-U-C-K Y-O-U.

Sincerely.

Obama has also stated clearly that he does NOT like "yes men" who just parrot his every opinion. There is little value to him in merely hearing his own opinions echoed back to him.

>>I don't like Yes Men either. I'll tell you what else I don't like. Whiny sore losers. Come in here to spew shit, and then go crying to mommy when you get your nose bloodied? Sickening.

And by the way, didn't you get the memo that the war (or election) is over? Or do you just want to be The New Bush and arrogantly walk all over anybody who disagrees with you?

>>This isn't about disagreement. It is about slapping around assholes like you who come with no ideas, and no desire to be helpful.

>>I would personally welcome a strong, thoughtful opposition party. Perhaps true conservatives in the mold of W.F Buckley to be a valuable counterweight to an Obama administration. But we won't see that for a long time. I have many highly intelligent friends who are on the political right. We have enjoyable and spirited conversations. It's an easy thing to do with anyone who is intellectally honest.

>>The GOP, which richley earned their kopfgewaschung this year, is little more than a rag-tag collection of small little people who are only interested in the advancement of fascism, and who can do no better than endlessly fear-monger.

This just in!!

Evidently, Red State has just hired Anthony Fremont to join their staff.

Mr. Fremont, of Peaksville, Ohio has been retained as the coordination strategist for "Operation Leper."

"It is not enough for us to simply marginalize," said Mr. Freemont, in a recent interview with Matt Drudge, of the Drudge Report, "Instead, we vow to wish all anti-Palin Nay-sayers into the Cornfield, where they belong!"

Yes, Prairiefire

I agree whole-heartedly. Two Strong, intellectually honest political parties would be really good for this country. We're almost half-way there. When the others earn the right to sit at the grown-up table, I will welcome them.

Still, however, we have an honest-to-goodness Progressive Mandate, here, so any Republican that wants to join the party would do well to come hat-in-hand, asking "what can I do to help."

I think it would be perfectly just and reasonable to aggressively marginalize anyone who doesn't.

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation

The "new" approach to Afghanistan touted by White House officials seems quite old

America's regression

It's almost impossible to find a nation with as many torture advocates as the U.S. has.

Yes, it's Obama's war now

An uninspiring speech sells a dubious policy, but progressives who feel betrayed have only themselves to blame

Do Obama officials know what his Afghanistan plan is?

What explains the completely contradictory statements from key aides on a central plank of the war strategy?
