They really are amazing. Right Wingers continue to demonstrate that they have formed an opinion and anything, absolutely anything, must be twisted to confirm to that opinion.
It’s really mind boggling.
On Monday Obama is a bum because he’s a Socialist and won’t let Business return prosperity to the American Economy. The Right yells if he would just lower taxes for corporations and the filthy rich our economy would start to boom.
On Tuesday, when the news comes out about how much profits for the top companies have increased while American workers are mired in a stagnant job market, according to the same folks he’s a bum because he’s in cahoots with big business and letting them rape the American economy.
In the meantime, to the Religious Right he’s a bum because he didn’t announce to the nation when Easter was. Excuse me, but those of us with more than an 80 IQ already knew when it was. Then there’s always Rush Limbaugh who wants Obama to apologize for not nailing bin Laden sooner. What?
Better yet, there’s the drone from the Right praising Bush for the killing of bin Laden. A claim which even Bush thinks is ridiculous. Anything not to give the black dude any credit.
I’m sorry, but I can no longer believe, based upon the pure venom in the howls of indignation, that this can be anything but racially based. I thought when Obama was elected that a melding of American divisions might be possible. It now seems that this was a very naïve hope.
Clearly there is a segment of American Society that is never going to accept a black man that owns a mule, or lives in a big house, or marries a white woman, or who gets elected to the office of president.
Let’s face it, these people are completely screwed up and there’s not much anyone can do about it. The only hope we have is educating the next generation.
