Talking briefly to a right-wing friend, I read between the lines.

They are not acknowledging that Obama won a major election. They just think the strategy to prevent him from winning reelection has been postponed another two years. So, expect the same from the right-wing leadership. The right will try to blame the stalemate on Obama.

1. They are locked into a way of thinking

that is very difficult to shake yourself out of.

It's a form of self-hypnosis, they've repeated the same mantras over and over until they now have tunnel vision. They couldn't see anything outside the tunnel even if they wanted to.

4. I couldn't have said it better.

This is going to destroy our country.

2. I other words they don't give a good flying fuck......

if jobs and people keep languishing, if the safety nets are taken away and if we continue this marginal creeping along while the infrastructure of the country falls apart. They are happy to live in the third world.

5. They don't have a realistic understanding of cause and effect.

If they're listening to FOXnews, it's not likely anyone will challenge them.

3. Paul Ryan was on local radio this morning

saying his program is the same as it has ever been. He stressed that the talk he is giving tonight at some gathering is the same on he gave in October on the campaign.

6. Someone has to point that out.

Over, and over and over again.

We already know the knuckledraggers refuse to accept reality ...

I don't care what they think - Never have ...
