In short, we can do better. And if we stop worrying about petty crap such as inflated lies about the “dangers” of gay marriage or “illegal immigrants”, maybe we can actually fix our damn problems and figure out how to provide freedom to all and security to all without acting like a bunch of sugar-high crazy infants.

Chris Matthews gets it, once in awhile anyway. Here he is calling out Politico for being a Cheney mouthpiece, which, frankly, they ARE very conservative.

Only one thing to say: it’s about damn time.

Booman calls out the angry hypocrites and “poutragers” who hit Obama at every turn just like they did Bush.

Actually I’d argue more so since they feel betrayed by Obama. Frankly, the president has pretty much done what he said he would during the campaign. They must have been listening to different speeches or something. After three decades of conservative presidents, having a moderate actually *IS* an improvement. I guess these clowns were expecting a revolution or something.

Actually, between Booman, Juan Cole, and Bob Cesca, I have hope for our party. The rest of the angry progressive crowd have really turned me off with their alternating revisionist Clinton history (which was pretty conservative) with their gaggle of so-called heroes: Kucinich (perfect where he is but never gonna be president), Howard Dean (whose own health care reform was more conservative than Obama’s), and so on.

If we had to remove our shoes after the (failed) Shoe Bomber attack, and we had to start chucking our bottled liquids following the (failed) liquid explosives attack, what will we have to remove and chuck following the (failed) Underpants Bomber attack?

More on Senator Whitehouse calling out the GOP for canoodling with racists and domestic terrorists.

I’m sure he’s going to be told to keep backtracking on this, but honestly it needs constantly said to these cretins. In public. Every day. Until they stop, and you know they never will.

Well said.
