^So I was reading around the blogs in the aftermath of this Arizona clusterfuck. What I posted above was the "most recommended" story from Daily Kos, biggest liberal blog. Pretty thoughtful piece IMO. People always complain that I don't give the right enough credit though, so let's be fair. Here's the most popular piece currently on Redstate, one of the biggest conservative sites.

It’s time this imperious president is smacked down. Really.
"Since the passage of the Health Care bill, President Obama’s sense of himself has risen and risen. He struts and poses. He’s just one quart short of speaking of himself in the third person. Just a week or so ago, after Gov Bob McDonnell made that gaffe about Confederate History Month, Obama said he found it “unacceptable”. I nearly leaped out of my chair, i was so angry. How dare he? I made a little noise here, but was surprised to see that no one else did. Here or anywhere else. I don’t care, it simply is not within the authority of the President of the United States to find the conduct of any elected official of any sovereign state in America “unacceptable”. He assumed a pay grade, by God, he ain’t got.
Since then, as the days have progressed, almost daily, we have been treated to a rising scale of regal pronouncements that he will or will not “accept” or “allow”, perhaps forgetting that even on his best days, he represents only one third of the government...at least as the Constitution sees it. Bill Clinton would have been happy as a mere satrap, with a bevy of dancing girls, but this guy really sees well beyond.
For me, the final kicker came today, while telling the Wall Street world that he favors free markets, he would not allow “risk taking”. With Obama, I no longer hold out that this sort of oxymoronic language can be attributed to stupidity or naivete. But it is much more than mere arrogance. It is imperiousness, not on the rise, but incarnate, fully formed. He has crossed over.
And the taste for it needs to be slapped right out of his mouth..."
OK, so maybe that wasn't so thoughtful. I mean, let's not split hairs, this cunt uses every word in the book except the one he obviously wants to use, uppity n*gger.
I'm trying to figure out what he's so pissed about. I mean, really, he's THAT mad that Obama summons up as subcommandante says above, a milquetoast amount of anger towards Wall Street, after all the shit they pulled. Apparently this is where the conservatives are right now though, half racist acting out, half not-so-veiled incitement to violence, allegedly based off of this delusional paranoia of a government takeover - but we all know what really motivates it. Read through the comments and you're treated to a scintillating argument over whether slaveholders in the Civil War should have been compensated for their slaves.
OK, I'm back to being "partisan" again. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
