Intimidating your way to failure

John Judis just doesn't get it.

Anti-Statism in America

"Where the Obama administration has stumbled is in handling the Republicans in Congress. In its eagerness to avoid attacks from business and conservative Republicans, and to win over the few Republican moderates, the White House has appeared willing to ditch significant parts of its reform program, including the public option from its health care bill and strict regulation of derivatives from its financial-reform proposal, even though these kinds of measures have remained popular among the public.

The White House has also mishandled liberal and left-wing movements when they have run ads against wayward Democrats who appeared unwilling to back the administration’s reform agenda. Generally, the White House has tried to discourage them from taking positions independent of the administration’s. And it has thrown its support to Organizing for America, a quasi-political machine that grew out of the campaign and that is united by its loyalty to Obama rather than by its support for liberal reform. That’s a mistake. Obama and the Democrats need active, unruly, and independent pressure from the left to combat Republican conservatives, intimidate Democratic fence-sitters, and persuade business that, if it doesn’t back Obama’s reforms, it could face much more radical measures.

Still, with these exceptions, Obama and the Democratic leadership in Congress have done well under conditions that are not as favorable for reform as they seemed in January. Obama and the Democrats understand not only the opportunity for reform, but also the long-standing ideological obstacles they face in obtaining it, and they have adopted a strategy of dividing business and framing their proposals as market reforms. If they continue to do so, and if they are not scared off by pressure from the right, they should succeed in getting a health care bill and new financial regulations. A climate-change bill will be more difficult but not impossible, as long as they can keep the voting public focused on the specifics of liberal reform rather than the atmospherics of ideological conservatism."

What John Judis just can't get through his thick fuckin' skull is that it is exactly this kind of bullshit and intimidation into trusting government more than it has earned parading around as something more honest that is leading independent voters like myself to vote for Republicans and let Democrats eat some serious fuckin' dirt.

We know you're game, shithead. We're voting against it, moron. You're just too stupid and stubborn to face up. And so be it. So you lose. Boo-fucking-hoo, you fuckin' bully.

"I'm so fuckin' scared that my ideas suck - which they do, as it turns out - that I can't even have an honest discussion and debate about them. Because that might expose how little substance there is to my thinking.

And my ego and my power to bully on this and all such matters is far more important than getting to better ideas.

Because being a shithead for a favored cause is just how things are done. And always have been. And nothing's going to change that."

Except for elections, you stupid arrogant fuck.

Note to John Judis and all leftists:

Maybe it's you.

Either way, you are losing. And for good reason.

Whether you will ever be able to admit that you are wrong about anything, at all, ever in your lives, or not.

In the meantime, the good guys will win. Bank on that.

No matter whether you ever get over yourselves or not.

Americans took care of one arrogant President. We'll take care of you, too.

And every single son-of-a-bitch who doubts that freedom is what America is all about.

Doubt that?

Watch, motherfucker.
