The Bull Run Begins This Week

So you're upset that your guy lost. Boo hoo. And your paper assets have taken quite a beating I'll wager. Your big fat ice-cream cone just fell in the dirt. Better to blame a newspaper, unions, and trial lawyers than engage in any sort of self examination. Your whole belief system lost, dude. And good riddance. We will be paying for THAT for a long time. Better to piss and moan about media bias than have to acknowledge that your heroes sold you out. You are small potatoes, getting smaller, like the rest of us.

The Bull Run Begins This Week

The inheritance of the 'young', and that of their children, and their children's children, has already been spent. Reagan and the Bushes (mostly W) and conservatives in general, derived their political power over the last 30 years largely by telling us that we don't have to pay taxes (and by scaring us with communism/terrorism, blacks/homos, and abortion). It was a bag of cheap tricks, and very effective. Appealing to people's basest instincts is the opposite of leadership, but it will always work with a certain segment of the population. That segment is at long last in the minority. The OLD minority, who have of course discovered too late, that there is no free lunch. But these fat old, bitter, bald, conservative, chickenhawk freemarketers, like their political heroes, refuse to acknowledge any mistakes. Obama is not popular with these (old) folks because his election represents an explicit and stultifying rejection of their beliefs, and marginalization of their regressive influence. The young love Obama because he is YOUNG. And he believes, as they do, as does anyone else who can see beyond the end of their balance sheet, that being poor, ignorant, ill and afraid is no way to go through life in America.
