Jul 2013

So only being negative is valid at all. It only means there are some things to be happy about, positive about.

Whenever I push back against any criticism because I don't agree with it, it's called "cheerleading" and the like. Some people are so negative they don't want to hear about Obama's positive contributions, and expect total lock step agreement of their "criticism" which is supposed to be valid just because it is negative.

Why is "the list" so bothersome? Why, just because it's positive. Why is are the "criticisms" always valid and wrong to question them? Why, just because they are negative.

These are the same people for whom there is nothing that can be done, everyone with a job practically is a corporatist or a bankster, all leaders are corrupt, the US is the worst country in the history of the world, and they are just so cool because they don't like any of it.
