Q: What is a liberal?
A: A conservative who has been ripped off by Wall Street.
I'd argue that they don't hold those two antithetical thoughts simultaneously. If they could, they they'd be able to spot the self-parody. More like the thought processes of a horse (Jim White for the clarification/correction); the two hemispheres of their brain don't communicate well - no corpus callosum. You always mount a horse from the same side, for a reason.
Take it away, Jim.
While Glenn is busy pointing out that wingnuts are evil retards for the 1,836,974th time I thought I might post something I found funny.

requires having an innate sense of humor. These jerks take themselves and their vitriol so literally and seriously that their twisted minds cannot see the straight shot to the hypocrisy. Either that, or they just can't bring themselves to be honest about who they are and what they stand for - lest they lose their pundit credentials.
Horses have a corpus callosum - it just doesn't function in the same way as human's or a dolphin's.
Have him on as a representative of the right speaking out against the Bush Admin's plan.
If he truly believes what he's writing he should want to discuss it. Then kindly point out the mind-bogglingly sad hypocrisy. Might be worth a try, especially in these warm and fuzzy non-partisan times of the past few days.
They at least make a half-way competent opposition party. The Democratic party, from all appearances, fails even at that.
This is not reassuring.
It is time to grab back the votes of the working class. For more than 1/2 century the Democratic Party could depend on the votes of the "regular folks" and that is a vast majority of the country. It is time to get them to come home.
Let Bush II be known as the "Great Uniter". Let him be the one to put most of America under a big tent called the Democratic Party and let us win this election cycle in a landslide. (or a mudslide since Rove will still be involved)
She has probably been the worst Speaker the democrats have ever put forth. I'd like to say she has no accomplishments, but it's worse than that, she has gone the opposite direction of an accomplishment. We now have unfettered spying available, and now she's likely to back unfettered cash giveaways to bad (to put it kindly) wall street types, and she's likely to make it possible for republicans to vote against this cash giveaway and have the whole sorry mess be attached to democrats (not without some reason in this instance).
I keep wishing the republicans will lose so badly that they clean house and put in reasonable people, because that would at least give a voting choice. As it is, I feel I have to vote for democrats because they're not so inescapably bad as the republicans.

If there's an Obama presidency, they're going to start righteously spouting limited government "principles" without realizing any of this, either. It's sometimes quite jarring -- and, in a really dark and perverse way, incomparably hilarious -- to see what the human mind is capable of doing.
Of course. It's politics, not rocket surgery.

Cmon everyone knows that's what will happen from day one.
This is where the conservative mind crumbles onto itself. Self-checkmate.

Mushroom Clouds Over Wall StreetBy MIKE WHITNEY
"One bank to rule them all;
One bank to bind them..."
These are dark times. While you were sleeping the cockroaches were busy about their work, rummaging through the US Constitution, and putting the finishing touches on a scheme to assert absolute power over the nation's financial markets and the country's economic future. Industry representative Henry Paulson has submitted legislation to Congress that will finally end the pretense that Bush controls anything more than reading the lines from a 4' by 6' teleprompter situated just inches from his lifeless pupils. Paulson is in charge now, and the coronation is set for sometime early next week. He rose to power in a stealthily-executed Banksters’ Coup in which he, and his coterie of dodgy friends, declared martial law on the US economy while elevating himself to supreme leader.
Just amazing.
Wouldn't it be the smelliest of ironies if it takes a President Obama and an opposition Republican Party to restore
Constitutional checks and balances?
Oh never mind, I'm sure Saint Obama would give up unconstitutional accrued power willingly.
Of course. It's politics, not rocket surgery.-- Chris Sinnard
Rocket surgery? Surgery? I think you are joking around but I will bite anyway....
"Politics" isn't a justification or an excuse for being an evil, hypocritical retard. Saying "oh it's just politics" ain't going to get it.
Damn. If I'd known my husband's Flowbee was worth that much I might not have thrown it away.
Must be a black market thang.....
That is the question.
An American Tragedy Redux. Do they mean to commit murder of a nation or did they just let it happen without malice aforethought?
Jim - you got the joke just a wee bit off.
A liberal is a conservative whose house foreclosed.
It would be better than Shakespearean comedy if it weren't so needlessly tragic.
QED
I have long worried that the Bush gang, knowing they are likely to lose in November, and further knowing that criminal prosecutions are likely in the future, would create some kind of crisis which would enable them to take power and end democracy in America. I thought they would maybe fake an attack on a polling place and use it to shut down the vote, but this is infinitely more clever if this is that crisis. An unaccountable budget? Ye gods. Is this it? The power grab that ends us? Is it time to take to the streets?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
