Looks like the “moderate” conservatives are waking up to the reality of their stupidity. They voted for Obama because he talked in centrist terms prior to his election. He is after all a great orator. His actions thus far have proven to be quite left of center in more ways than one expected after his BS during the election campaign.
I saw right through it. 47% of America, saw right through it. The rest of you? When will you stop drinking the Kool-Aid?

Brooks and Buckley Experience Buyers’ Remorse

A few quick thoughts as a follow-up to Dan’s post on the ever wrong – yet still ever presumptuous – David Brooks, who is just now beginning to realize that the halo he saw around Obama’s head during those 2 years of campaigning was the product of CGI and creative Hollywood lighting, not a function of political beatitude, manifesting itself through prisms of Iceland spar and Platonic Hope onto the psychic cave walls of those who are open to being saved.
Meanwhile, those of us who made the argument, in advance of helping to get him elected, about Obama’s rather baldly progressive nature – forcefully, at the time, and with not a little bit of thoughtful consideration – aren’t, as yet, invited to participate in “Conservatism 2.0: The Reckoning,” a space for all the movers and shakers of the conservative movement to stake out a strategy for how to find their way out of the political wilderness.
Perhaps, some are arguing, if we’d played nice and called Obama a Good Man, we’d have shown ourselves capable of the kind of “grown up” diplomacy a wannabe “media agency” is hoping to project – and so won the support of the “moderate middle.”
- Which, how’d that work out for you, Maverick?
