Mr. T Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther right. Among them the level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up sharply the past few months. It's not due to the election, and it's not because the Republican candidates are so compelling and making such brilliant cases against him. That, actually, isn't happening. What is happening is that the president is coming across more and more as a trimmer, as an operator who's not operating in good faith. This is hardening positions and leading to increased political bitterness. And it's his fault, too. As an increase in polarization is a bad thing, it's a big fault. The shift started on Jan. 20, with the mandate that agencies of the Catholic Church would have to provide services the church finds morally repugnant. The public reaction? "You're kidding me. That's not just bad judgment and a lack of civic tact, it's not even constitutional!" Faced with the blowback, the president offered a so-called accommodation that even its supporters recognized as devious. Not ill-advised, devious. Then his operatives flooded the airwaves with dishonest—not wrongheaded, dishonest—charges that those who defend the church's religious liberties are trying to take away your contraceptives. What a sour taste this all left. How shocking it was, including for those in the church who'd been in touch with the administration and were murmuring about having been misled.

calfoxwc Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 So, creepy is an excellent term. Add in that the "Homeland Security" agency of Obamao's... is ordering up 450 million? bullets. They are .40 caliber. But, they use the same primer as a lot of the other ammo? Why the heyl are they ordering ammo? They aren't the army... except for ARMING the TSA as Obamao's "CIVILIAN SECURITY FORCE". It sounds like we are headed toward civil war because of their actions. And the president dirtbag Obamao is all too happy to encourage a race war, and a class war. And apparently, a civil war. We are in very serious trouble as a country. Buy a few guns. By ammo. obamao's brownshirts are coming to a city near you. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
