I logged in as I usually do every morning to see what is going on in what I used to call my first source for progressive news and all I see here at Daily Kos is trash talking.
Did you notice there is some kind of feast going on at Dailykos? That is a love feast for "puritans". Well, this place has taken a turn for the worst. Look at any moment through out the day on what is on the rec list, if the last two weeks have been any indication, and you know what I am talking about. Even a picture diary from one of the most vocal critic in BWD diaries was seating comfortably on the rec list. So much for pictures are nothing narrative from the same people trashing the President' pictures as hero worshiping.
Well, it does not stop there. Now the Former President is a target too for showing support of the Tax plan. Only a shallow narrow minded individual would think showing a legitimate justified support is an atrocity. Oh...that too is on the rec list.
So what are we complaining about...
Before I forget about the Former President's commentthat no one in this blog talks about, he said:
one thing I haven’t seen much about in the reports, this agreement will really help America over the long term, because it continues the credits for manufacturing jobs related to energy coming in to America. And I’ll remind you, just in the last two years, there have been 30 high-powered battery factories either opened or presently being built in America, taking us from 2 to 20 percent of the world’s share of that. And we’re going to probably be at 40 percent by 2014. This is a really important thing, bringing manufacturing back to America, because it’s a huge multiplier to create new jobs.
Oh well, that and the many elements in the Tax plan don't matter...I guess!
To get back to the Daily Kos non-stop whining about any and everything, one rec listed diary asks, "What the fuck happened to the Democratic Party?"
Nothing has happened to the Democratic Party. They are alive and kicking. I guess I have to remind folks that this Democratic majority congress has accomplished one of the most impressive legislative victories in decades.
Yes, "FDR didn't accomplish the New Deal by accommodating the corporate interests and caving in to the demands of the centrists", because FDR did not have the backing of 57 Democrats (you can take out the fucking blue dogs in this Senate and you may just get 53). FDR had the backing of 69 Senate Democrats when he passed Social Security in 1935. Fuck, he should have done even more than just pass Social Security.
Fuck, LBJ could count on 68 solid Democratic Senators to pass Medicare, Medicaid and the Voting Rights Act. Absoulufucking possible to do what he did. If he had not so, he would have been in the gutter with no can do shitty Presidents (that would include President Obama of course for puritans).
Damn right, LBJ and FDR should have done even more than they did with that kind of numbers backing their ass.
Again, you say what the fuck is wrong with Democrats? and I say, there is no problem with Democrats in comparison to what has been done by other Administrations in their first two years. You want a reminder, I will give you Rachel Maddow:
There is however a problem with so called Puritan Democrats at Dailykos, HuffPost, FDL, et al. These Democrats don't seem to understand the reality of our political environment or don't want to even consider the limitation but seat on their so PRINCIPLED ass, hold the American people hostage to satisfy their ego. The part that is shitty is that they will use the same people they held hostage to expand their narrative.
I want this to be a very short diary even thought I have a lot to say but I know it would be like talking to a brick wall but I will give you a very simple example of the hypocrisy of so called Democrats, convert Democrats, ex-Republican Democrats, Purist Democrats and those Democrats who can't find their asses even if you give them maps and a flash light:
Where is you conviction to call out the 212 who choose to derail the President initiative to close Guantanamo?
US lawmakers voted Wednesday to kill efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for suspected terrorists in 2011 or try the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks on US soil.
The House of Representatives voted 212-206 for a catch-all spending bill covering government expenses in the fiscal year that began October 1, a measure that included the restrictions affecting Guantanamo and its detainees.
Obama ain't your mama to fix what some 212 feckless asshats can't accomodate. Or, I should say their Prinicple stinks like some inthis community. Go look at the voting block and take names. I don't wanna hear from none of you purists that Obama broke his promises. While you are at it, call your Senators and make sure the spending bill up for vote in the Senate excludes this fucked up betrayal in the making.
Again, what the fuck is wrong with the Democratic Party?
No, the question is what the fuck is wrong with those of you shitting on this President? words like...sellout Obama, Obama is stupid, Fuck Obama, primary Obama and the like, if you search it in the last two weeks have been used so many times, it makes you wonder if this site has become the REDSTATE.
Well, go at it and have a feast. I will still be around and you won't drive me out like the many who find this place not healthy. I will continue to throw my facts at you and it's up to you to grab it or just don't show up in my diaries. I suggest that latter if you don't have anything constructive thing to say.

Enjoy this chart since pictures are most peoples favorite thing around here. Courtesy of BWD...ha ha ha ha.../snark. No, it is courtesy of Ezra Klein:
The question, at the end of the day, is whether stopping them from getting it is worth cutting benefits for the unemployed, and tax cuts for middle-income Americans, and the Earned Income Tax Credit. I don't think it is, and that's particularly true because it's not, to me, about the size of the transfer so much as the possibility for stimulus.

I probably won't be around for comments because I gots to go to take my kids to a barber shop. Plus, there is better conversation to be made at barbershop...much interesting, stimulating than hearing a cesspool of trash that will come out of most or all of pro-Democratic/Obama diaries as of late.
3 - 2 - 1...hello, good morning or afternoon and have a great weekend!
Puffy is saying,"Good Mornin'" below...
