I do get that but I guess what I'm saying is the feuding shows no signs of dissipating and sometimes it feels like that's all there is. Conservatives and liberals need each other to fight with in order to have their identities and it's just destructive.
Both sides have problems, but we're not seeing the nasty, shadowy figures behind the curtain, EVEN when they're in plan sight. When they talk about how there used to at least be room for compromise and consensus, that's before the worst of the worst of the lobbyists started controlling favorite parties and party favorites. There's a reason why every Republican candidate that found common ground with the Democrats was edged out of their primaries with compromise hating, greedy, petulant brats that cling desperately to their corporate masters. Dickensian villains like the aforementioned Grover Norquest and the Koch Brothers. THAT'S the reason why there's so much block in congress... rich people who aren't even poor enough to be the 1%, more like the 0.00001% that use everything in their arsenal to disrupt any sense of change, then pay a fortune for Super Pac advertisements about who we didn't get the change they didn't want us to have, blaming their Machiavellian schemes on Obama, so they can get even MORE of what they want.
I'm no proponent of physical discipline of a child, but those are three kids that SHOULD have been spanked as kids.
So basically...
That the political tide has flipped 8 years after Karl Rove's fear-mongering, anti-gay presidential campaign.
Yeah. Now we have 4 years of Karl Rove's fear-mongering anti-working class red scare presidential campaign. I'm sure when one of their guys screws up with even massive corporate welfare that we all have to pay for, they'll play that old "The Gays are coming for you, Barbara" schtick again. Ah, Neo-Cons. Anything to make the rich richer, huh?
There's no question that the Republicans have gone too far in their hostility towards the middle and working class. And too many people have a sort of Stockholm Syndrome where they think the Republicans are speaking for them when really they're creating half of these problems. Not that the Democrats care that much more, in my opinion.
I've been calling Stockholm Syndrome for years. how the heck is making the poor people paying the taxes of the rich people who DON'T want to help them speaking for the Middle Class?
