Obama gives life to my blog slogan
Bookworm on Aug 06 2009 at 8:23 pm | Filed under: Barack Obama
My blog slogan is “Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.” In a scathing article at PJM, Jennifer Rubin details one area after another in which the Obama administration announces a conclusion, markets it as a fact, and spends all of the taxpayers once and future money to address these fallacious conclusions:
Throughout the campaign and continuing into his presidency Obama has decried George W. Bush as an “ideologue,” a man blinded by preexisting conceptions and inured to evidence which contradicted his worldview. But it is the Obama team which in just seven months has perfected the art of denying or evading facts. It doesn’t matter if the subject is small or large. It can be a domestic or foreign policy issue. The modus operandi is the same: don’t give them the facts; they’ve made up their minds.
This really isn’t surprising given that Obama and so many of his closet advisors have spent an inordinate amount of time cloistered in the Ivy Towers. It took me years to undo the damage of a high end academic education and make my re-entry into the real world. All of you were lucky that, as I went through that process, I didn’t have my hand in your pocketbooks.
If I could resurrect one president right now, it would be John Adams, just so that he could haunt the White House halls (he was the first president to occupy that house, after all) and whisper in Barack’s ear that “facts are stubbon things.”

See Arthur Koestler on closed systems.
A stubborn fact is that they are now mobilizing union goons to enforce Koestler’s closed circle by attacking citizens who disagree. Sadly, I believe the revolution is about to begin.
I thought your slogan was “Escaped from the belly of the liberal beast”? Or some such.
Hopey change, hopey change, hopey change.
Bad Bush!
Bad Bush!
Most Americans are not like the plantation liberals and blacks who are in thrall to the Democratic Party.
As Renault replied to Major Strasser when the latter sneered about the fumble-bumbledness of Americans, “We mustn’t underestimate American blundering. I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918.”
Bring it on, you big bad union boys, feminized liberal men and hairy legged college coeds!

Hilarious!
And I do not think our union thugs, Acorn thugs, and University thugs understand what they are about to unleash if they truly are beginning to physically attack us.

If they truly are beginning the physical assault phase, I’m not sad at all. Let’s get ready, for the times they are a-changin’. There’s a new wind, blowing.
Of course, Republicans deal with facts. The ones they like (or don’t). Same as Democrats. It’s the emotions that differ. The motivation. The sense of uniqueness. The love.
Two things occur after reading this:
1. I have no idea what it means.
2. I have no idea what it means.
Helen, stop with the “drive by shooting” style comments. Are you saying only Democrats have valid emotions? Only they are motivated, and unique, and feel love? Rubbish. Stepford style rubbish, to boot. I am familiar with plenty of Democrats and self style progressives, and they often exhibit great vituperation, snobbishness, and pure contempt for people with whom they disagree.
