Today Barack Obama becomes US President. Unfortunately, he’s not the Messiah, just a politician with far better ideas than the guy he’s replacing. Even given two terms he probably can’t completely clean up the mess left by Bush and friends, but at least he won’t try to make it even worse.
A post on Joan Bushwell’s Chimpanzee Refuge pointed out that today would be a great time to take another look at the rightwing sites I followed during the election and see what sort of idiocy their self pity generated. There’s the post linked in the article, which suggests that any “liberal” success is down to some sort of Hive mind. Because like minded people working together for a common goal is a Socialist invention somehow. The same guy Godwin’d (again, I’m sure he did it multiple times during the election) a few days ago, because trying to sort out the banks is the first step on the road to the concentration camps.
Stop the ACLU jumps on the too-tired-to-do-any-original-thinking bandwagon with a similar post and tries to stop global warming by quoting a guy who doesn’t seem to know what he’s rebelling against.
Michelle Malkin has an open thread for people who want to moan about living in a democracy.
Little Green Footballs tries to place the blame anywhere other than the Worst President Ever and the stupidly dangerous pair that wanted to carry on his good work.
You know, I sort of miss these idiots, but I don’t know if I have enough time to follow all of them. Maybe just one RSS feed, to sample the madness? They are, after all, embodiments of the sort of beliefs I’m giving to the bad guys in Sounds of Soldiers.
Update Take nine and a half minutes to learn why these people are so wrong and deluded-
Another mental vacuum heard from.
Projection is a wonderful thing. Thanks for making me smile on my way off to work.
Before Gribbit disabled comments on his blog altogether, he simply disallowed any and all dissenting input, however civil. Yet he has no compunction about acting like the ass that he is on his critics’ blogs (when he dares to, anyway; more often he rages against them in the safety of comment strings in other nutter-blogs).
Well, guess what? The “libtards” don’t censor him, because not only are they more fair-minded and secure in their ideas than nutters are, but there is no point in banning someone who unfailingly hangs himself with his own words and openly maintains the sort of double standard that exemplifies the squint-eyed hypocrisy with which wingers conduct their lives in general.
