The Glade 4.0

No one has any patience for you of late, Aizle; since the majority of your posts are antagonistic one lines such as this.

RangerDave:

Except, earmarks haven't fallen under democrats in any meaningful way; even if we take your links at face value. More to the point, you're intent on blaming the Republicans instead of accepting the fact that its a single party government and treating it as such. I vociferously attacked the spending habits of Bush and Clinton and Bush's Daddy. You, however, are quite selectively ignoring that. The evidence you've provided, incidentally, doesn't actually prove what you're stating since the CAGW is only worried about "pork" earmarks, instead of material earmarks in on-topic legislation. Likewise, it's really easy to blame the "party in power" or "control of Congress" without looking at who's writing the earmarks (something your evidence doesn't provide). Nevermind that earmarks increased in every "non-recession" year over the period listed right?

But, you know, I simply dislike our government; and I have less than zero tolerance for the behavior of Pelosi and Reid, especially after their party got thrashed in a mid-term election over dubious behavior. Of course, no one mentions that the Republicans got thrashed, too; incumbents fell left and right in November, and no one in Washington gives a damn. Never mind all of that right? Never mind you came into this thread spouting accusation of partisanship while spewing the leftist talking points of the week, either.

The "liberals" on this forum are suffering some sort of inherited victim complex and falling prey to unilateral source issues. I read all the same blogs you guys do. I read all the same blogs Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh read. And then I go and read Senate notes and House notes and the BLS and White House press conferences, etc. And then I form my opinion. As for my dislike of Barack Obama? He's a spineless failure and a whimpering mouthpiece for a political machine that plans to discard him as soon as its convenient. The only thing that ever made him dangerous was his unwavering "politicianness" and his inability to actually do the job with which he's been tasked.

And yours are entirely too angry of late. Lighten up, man. Both you and RD have interesting points, and it's interesting to read them. It would be just as interesting without the vitriol.

Food Safety Bill Gone Too?

This whole thing is just making me far too happy.

As a semi-random aside, if you really want to see how the Bush and Obama administrations are similar, listen to Disturbed's "Deify." Although an obvious shot at Bush made during his presidency, it's basically 100% applicable to Obama too.
