That's why we need to support Palin as the 2012 Republican nominee. What better way to insure Obama gets re-elected?
So I've been increasingly disturbed by how blatant Republicans have gotten in their opposition to Obama, because it's grown to the point where it's actually become flat-out opposition to American success. This Nobel Prize is a perfect example to start with. While we could, as a united country, celebrate the potential international leverage that our President winning this prize could provide, instead, Republicans are calling it things like
"unfortunate" (Republican National Chairman Michael Steele), or worse if you listen to tools like Limbaugh or Beck. Who are Republicans putting first in this case, America, or Republicans? I'd say Republicans.
But there are other examples that have been striking me lately, too. Like
, an event that would have injected millions and millions of dollars of badly needed revenue into our economy. There is literally no way to justify celebrating this loss other than as a celebration of Obama's failure to sway the Olympic committee. But what Republicans were actually cheering was the loss of a massive injection of money into the American economy. So who are Republicans putting first in this case, America, or Republicans? Once again, Republicans.
Then there's
our previous discussion about Obama's address to schoolchildren urging them to work hard, assume personal responsibility, and stay in school. Republicans were in a frothy tizzy over this perceived "brainwashing" and "indoctrination" of our country's kids into Obama's "socialist", "communist" or "Hitler-like" agenda. Who were Republicans putting first in rabidly opposing a call to children to do well in school, America, or Republicans? Yeah....Republicans.
And as a final example, let's look at our own resident Obama-hater, Mongoose, who started his own
thread decrying Obama for "bombing the moon". This is a mission that, if it does detect water, will be a vital step in our drive to further explore our solar system and beyond - an adventure that has and will benefit the entire planet with each new discovery, solution, and invention that it spawns. So yet again (assuming you are a Republican Mongoose), who are Republicans supporting, themselves, America, mankind? Tell America and mankind to fend for themselves, because they ain't gettin any support from Republicans on this one either.
So all of this is to get to my ultimate question. Who was it that was so eager to label Presidential opponents as "un-American" from 2000-2008, when people were demonstrating against a war that they were perfectly justified in opposing? Oh yeah....it was Republicans. So now that Republicans are actually taking stands that will obviously and decidedly
hurt our country purely in the name of personal, political gain, are they also willing to assume the well deserved label of being "un-American". I mean it's one thing to protest a war, but totally another to try leveraging political advantage by celebrating significant American financial loss, or urging that we destroy American opportunity that has arisen in the form of a Peace Prize for our President, or actively fighting against calls to our children to work hard and stay in school, or campaigning against the major human advances that would arise from the confirmation of water on the moon. A notable portion of Republicans, and anyone who supports all of these machiavellian idiocies, have become one of the most ignorant and selfish groups of people currently on the planet.
