It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. You know I really understand people's disdain for politics. I get it. It makes sense. Politicans suck, and it seems like a neverending battle. But one thing I've noticed for the last few years is the type of people who "love" the President. You know the American Idol crowd. The crowd that listens and sways to the flavor of the pop culture day. The hope and change sheep.
These are the people that say they are liberal, but really have no freaking clue what it means. These are the people that tell me on Facebook that they have an affection for the president, and that they don't need to explain why. Oh really, you don't? I am not talking about the hardcore progressives, union thugs, staunch party followers who have an agenda and are devoid of ethical reason. I am talking about every day people who follow drama where ever they can. They turn on their bleeding hear all in the name of fairness or doing the popular and right thing.
You know what the problem is? The problem is they pick and choose what to hear and what to understand. They only pick up on sound bytes. They see and hear someone picking on their "guy" and they automatically defend him. "Well I'm a liberal so I like him". Really? You like a guy (and it doesn't exclude the people before him) that orders the death of innocent people with drone attacks and useless military engagements? You love a guy that lies just because he is our guy? Just because he can make tasteless jokes at a press conference? Just because you like his wife? Just because Oprah loves him?
You don't have to dislike him, but to love him?...give me a break. These people vote. It makes me ill and it is beyond sad.
I told you long ago that your hope and change was just smoke and mirrors. I've been proven right. Grow up. Seriously, what is there to like?
