One of the sure signs that conservatives have lost their minds is the vile nature they have decided to use to attack President Obama in what can only be seen as an attempt to harm the country in order to further conservative goals.
Reading the recent works of George Will and Charles Krauthammer, two conservatives who used to share the intellectual mantle of conservatives, one comes away believing they have come unglued. In Will's most recent tantrum he celebrates Congress's supposed return to power. Does he understands the lackey role Congress played for George W. Bush and how that role lead the country into its current economic situation?
Krauthammer whines that Obama wants a debt deal to get him past the election, saying "Nothing could be more political." Um, how about making up facts to go to war resulting in the deaths of American soldiers? Remember what Bush said when he was told Iraq didn't have WMD? "Fuck it, we're going in..."
Will, Krauthammer, and other conservatives lemmings know that they don't have facts on their side and there is a good chance the public will figure that out and, just like in 2006 where Steven Colbert's "praise" of George Bush effectively ended his administration.
What conservatives are scared of are facts. Just the facts. In Sunday's New York Times the Opinion Page pointed out that $5 trillion of debt was added due to George W. Bush's policies, while only $1.4 is projected to be added by a two-term Obama administration.
None of squares with what conservatives have been saying and that's the point. Disingenuous Republicans have tagged Obama with the failures of George Bush and are demanding he take the fall for W.'s failures.
It appears that conservatives believe that if they yell it long enough people will believe it, but if they don't keep yelling people will figure out the truth and no conservative wants to be around the day America stops and goes, "hey, wait a minute. That's not true."
