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.
