The viciousness and nastiness and ignorance displayed here is breathtaking. As long as you hear the talking points from the White House and the DNC you are happy, but when anything disturbs your world-view, you go bat-shit crazy.

Everything I have said around here that runs counter to the progressive orthodoxy of you well-off lefties gets criticized and deleted. You people complain about the Right, but you are as bad, or worse. No new ideas, no respect for individuality, and certainly no tolerance for different opinions.

I came here to see interesting opinions and novel solutions to our significant problems. All I get is the same tired, boring mainstream crap.

Maybe when you people start thinking for yourselves will you make some real progress. Until then it will be the usual "everyone is stupid and ignorant except for us!"

Coal is out? So is the United Mine Workers

It's easy to restrict coal-fired plants because of global warming, but has it occurred to anyone that there are union jobs at stake in coal mines across the country. And what about the union jobs in the coal-fired plants themselves?

We need to replace the power before we take these plants off line. Solar won't work in the Northeast. Wind won't work either. So what are we left with?

Nuclear? Nobody will support nuclear plants even if they were perfectly safe.

Natural gas? Uh, New York is going insane over frakking upstate. Where will we get the gas?

I wrote a diary criticizing Obama's handlers for some bad optics and got jumped for not toeing the party line. I guess I'll get jumped over this too.

Is Obama Turning Into a Whiner?

Two articles today, one in Politicoand one in USA Today, are extremely embarrassing for Obama. Why are his political advisers so tone deaf that they would allow him to be quoted in a way that makes him seem effeminate and weak?

This is not the time to project an image that is unflattering and un-presidential. Part of the advantage that Obama has in the coming election is his bully pulpit. But if all he does is whinge and cry that it isn't fair, we are going to look bad, he is going to look bad, and the country is going to look for alternatives!
