“I wish that were true, that Americans would punish the Democrats for being too timid, too centrist, but it isn't. Progressives must take off those rose-colored glasses and deal with reality, or be forever lost in this country as they have been for the last thirty years. The American people are conservative. They are not progressive; they hate and fear their government. They have been brainwashed by thirty years of propaganda. They did not wake up in the 2006 and 2008 elections. They simply rejected George Bush and his gross incompetence. They did not reject conservatism, or embrace progressivism.

They are not angry at Democrats for doing too little. They are angry at them for doing too much, for socialism, for government takeovers. They are terrified by the national debt and deficit, and Democratic polices which will only exacerbate them. They are blind to the idea of a national investment in 21st century infrastructure, energy and transportation.

The real danger is that the American people will revolt against liberals again, as the culprit in this terrible economy, and throw the bums out in 2010 and 2012. This could usher in another era of Reaganomics, a doubling down on the policies that are sinking this country. More tax cuts for the rich, deregulation and perpetual warring against our "enemies."

It's the Tea Partiers whose voices are being heard, not the progressives.”

“While I like the president, I do think your assessment is essentially correct. I'm far from impressed so far and hope he gets some new ideas and advisors soon.”

“I am afraid; you missed the import of the argument. Let me break it down. Noisy progressive commentators claim by self-inflation and empty political gravitas to be the base of Democrat Party. My point is that they are not. In clear terms, they are only over-exaggerating their power and capacity because of access to and utility of blogosphere.

If you have now come to terms the extra-ordinary achievement of Obama as a minority and African American to win the presidency of US, then, there is a confounding and inexplicable problem at play.”

“bee ess”

“Apparently everyone in the Democratic party who's not sprinting to the right is a traitor.”

“You may help us to understand your thoughts by citing instances of Obama’s lies. I bet that in the end it will turn out to be your interpretation of events rather than indisputable facts.”

“Spot on”

“Thank you. It's a little irritating being told that Obama's shortcomings, which are, even from an objective standpoint, pretty dramatic, are somehow my fault.

I guess I shouldn't have liked the dude.”

“Yes, you should blame people that swallow such obvious lies.”

“THANK YOU. I found this article very condescending and insulting. I don't think ANYONE expected Obama to be a Messiah. Even as "just a politician," he could have done/ could do more than he has. People are gauging him not as a "god," but as a person put in power who is failing at his job.

This article totally misses the boat. Totally.”

“And the media outlets (online included) that fed the frenzy”

“Yeah lets make Obama the monster because he doesn't choose to hate Rick Warren. That does us all a lot of good. While we're at it lets hate everyone who disagrees with us.

In fact, let's be as stupid at the far right. The far left is even worse.”

“Fanned & Faved! Bravo!”

“you're a broken record on this subject already. There is no excuse whatsoever for the sex-abuse scandal but to suggest that the majority of priests knew something about it is a lie. What's more, unless you have some proof that Bishop Tobin was an accomplice in the sex-abuse matter, you're defaming an innocent man. I thought the subject was Kennedy and Tobin on the issue of abortion. Too bad people like you ignore the positive things that the Catholic church does in the world. Do you know anything at all about the care the Church provides through Catholic Social Services? Maybe you should educate yourself before you throw out the baby with the bath water.”

“It bothers me that we get a post accusing anybody that doesn't agree with Obama of racism, and when someone takes exception to that, someone else immediately pulls another race card.

AguynamedWayne made a perfectly reasonable point: gay issues are being brushed aside by this president. He illustrated the point from personal experience. And for that, he gets ridiculed.

People do have gay friends of color, Anonymous. You think that's unlikely? Impossibly rare? This is why the left can't retain influence in this country. We're all so eager to throw each others' credentials in the fire.”

“No.

They put docterinal emphasis on one (the protection of life, in all its phases).

They were negligent, criminally I would argue, in the administration of their affairs and the protection of well-being of the children in their charge.

HOWEVER, they don't emphasize or advocate the abuse of life, they were as a matter of conduct insufficiently vigilant in protecting the life they prize.”
