Every last story I read about Obama shows him doing something bone-headed.

I mean, seriously?

Also: he hates Dems and the left. Or, he thinks he can win if he slams them.

If that's the case, then I'm sad for him, for me and for American political discourse and most particularly the state of the Democratic party, because you know what? No one ever says a goddamn good thing about us. And we just want to help. We just want to make things better. We want to see people stop suffering, we want to give people the ability to get out of bad situations, to improve their living conditions, to be able to pay for health care and to not incite even more people to want to kill us and to stop cold those who do.

I am not saying that the right doesn't want these things, I'm sure they do. I don't agree with how they want to go about it, or the specific ideals they use to prosecute these things, but, I mean, my goodness--how is it that day after day after day after day we can keep hearing about how liberals hate America and aren't proud of every amazing thing this nation has accomplished and how liberals want to lose the war... it makes no sense. And every time anyone refrains for saying it doesn't make sense, they are making it worse.

I don't care about how you think you're supposed to be fair or balanced: don't say or let it be said unchallenged that liberals don't love America, don't want to see it be safe and strong, don't want to try and improve the lives of its people, don't want to do what is in its best interest, don't want to see it be the very, very best that it could possibly be and what it has been: the strongest, richest, most-free civilization in the history of man--those people who imply that liberals believe otherwise, and allow that implication to be made, cannot be believed or trusted, no matter their party affiliation.
