LEFTY UNVEILED
I have been very hard on my Democrat/liberal/lefty blog people who are so resentful to Obama for doing governing things like working through the system, compromising with the opposition, taking deliberate time to undo the bush damage (although I think that this is especially undeserved as he has done tons of stuff so they are wrong).
I didn't know that I knew a real left wing Obama basher until this morning when an old friend unveiled himself when I showed him my new official bumper sticker which came the other day.
He said he was "angry" at Obama for a lot of things.
I recoiled. What? I said about the same thing as I wrote above to him. I was very disappointed actually.
But, we have our own views about things and he can have his opinions and state them. It was similar to my reaction in finding that someone I know and like was following the tea party line.
Of course, we all think that others share our views and that is more wrong than right.
I am happy to have difference if it is affable and in good humor. Not a morning goes by at the gym without an exchange with my Frick and Frack cardio guys, one an unrepentant bushie and the other like me. I gave him a bumper sticker.
It is OK. The earth will not stop turning. I will still be friends with all these guys. It is fine.
But I don't get it. The lefty thing. It is easier to get the bagger position than the adverse "liberal" unliberal position.
Time for the impatient and the unrealistic to take a look at this again.
What The Fuck Has OBama Done So Far?
