MoDo goes reactionary
Here's just part of her column, a real doozy to say the least:
Polemics like these can do little for liberals except reenforce their bitterness and decrease their political viability. Did you see Obama saying idiotic things like this? No. You saw him being charming and genial. Legitimate criticism of the Bush administration is far more effective when not laced with foolish rhetoric like this.
W. doesn't see division as a danger. He sees it as a wingman.This quote is particularly funny: "Vice continued, "Now we move forward to serve and to guard the country we love." Only Dick Cheney can make "to serve and to guard" sound like "to rape and to pillage.""
The president got re-elected by dividing the country along fault lines of fear, intolerance, ignorance and religious rule. He doesn't want to heal rifts; he wants to bring any riffraff who disagree to heel.
W. ran a jihad in America so he can fight one in Iraq - drawing a devoted flock of evangelicals, or 'values voters,' as they call themselves, to the polls by opposing abortion, suffocating stem cell research and supporting a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.
Mr. Bush, whose administration drummed up fake evidence to trick us into war with Iraq, sticking our troops in an immoral position with no exit strategy, won on 'moral issues.'
