Angry Left Needs Hugs & Kisses
by Jules Siegel

##snip##

"Obama won the election. Lincoln won the Civil War. But the South won the peace because the North was unable to consolidate its victory. Reconstruction was a failure. Yes, slaeery was gone, but the result of the Jim Crow way of life remained, and in some ways it got worse. The red states are an almost perfect match for the slave states and territories. The government and media are infested with unreconstructed rebels who faithfully represent the interests of their corporate masters. The rats haven't abandoned ship. To the contrary, they are mutating so desperately, they will soon have fangs like tigers."

1. But, instead of hugs and kisses, Obama just today
tossed some acid at us instead, refusing to accept our input, accusing us of being "obstructionist" and "too comfortable with the status quo" for opposing his harmful education polices.

2. Yes, but a republican...
..would have thrown more corrosive acid at you. So why can't you just be happy that the acid was slightly less toxic? Isn't that enough?

6. Of course.
The only way to save the nation is to invite a Democrat to throw kinder, gentler acid instead.

3. "The red states are an almost perfect match for the slave states and territories."
A plain, undeniable fact, that must be shown far and wide. No need to attach commentary. The colored maps speak for themselves.

4. The Left Needs Respect and Honor
and if that doesn't come, the Left will be getting Fear--for a valid reason, not just because of some Red-tinged paranoia. The Right knows what a righteous Left can do to it.

5. The Left, and the Nation, needs a true populist in the WH. It's as simple as that. n/t

7. So, you see, when Obama breaks campaign promises, he does it because he's powerless to keep said
promises. It's simple, really: He just neglected to tell us that he isn't really able to make good on his promises, thereby reducing our unrealistic expectations. Nonetheless, he has a plan to rectify this situation -- back out of his campaign promise to support net neutrality (as he seems to be doing already). That way, when the internet as we know it is destroyed, we'll have no way of knowing when he breaks promises in the future!

8. The Senate needs to be seriously purged
of Dinos like Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, etc., etc. and Cornyn, Vitter, Boehner, McConnell, DeMint, etc., etc.

They must be knocked off, one by one by one by one.
