So criticism is not allowed - I remember, it was "almost a treason" to dare dissent here.
So now, once again, us silly dirty activists should shut our pieholes and marvel at all of the wonderful things that have been done.
Am I at 300 words yet? no? ok.
A not-nearly enough stimulus package that consisted of way too many tax cuts. Big time anti abortion language in a watered down gift to big insurance health care bill. Shirley Sherrod. Van Jones. Alan Simpson. A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS AND ADMINISTRATION GUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY - something that Bush and a Republican Congress couldn't do.
Nothing on DADT. Gitmo still open. No prosecutions for torture, lies or war crimes. An escalation in Afghanistan, even though it's been uncovered how bad things are (oh wait, he campaigned on that so that doesn't count). Not using the bully pulpit to point out how bad the Republicans have been and to ram through some much needed things. Rahm calling us fucking retarted.
Geithner. Summers. Dawn Johnson. Elizabeth Warren (just wait).
"The professional left".
Yeah, I know. Just us annoying "single issue selfish pony lovers" that are going to mess things up in November. Because a diary at Daily Kos can singlehandedly change the mood of the country and make people who have no job and were screwed by HAMP (another real winner) finally realize that they are in bad shape.
But here are some feel good slogans and pretty pictures, so let's all get our pom poms out.
And fuck any of those dirty hippies who dare get out of line because that would mean "President Palin" so we better just get back in our holes.
Funny how the Republican Party NEVER had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, yet they never had a problem ramming through destructive legislation or appointing odious people to Federal positions.
