In reply to the discussion: CUT THE CRAP! Your Month in Review from the most "progressive" administration ever. [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)it was after I had posted an article specifically criticizing Obama for continuing so many BUSH policies.
The title, the entire thrust of the article, decried his BUSH policies.
I nearly died laughing. I thought I had run across some delusional poster who didn't understand what "right-wing" meant, or who Bush was.
Later, of course, I realized that this is a Third Way talking point, like all the others that deal in utter absurdity: for example, trying to pretend that the agenda I detailed above is not right wing itself, or that opposing it is even remotely "Right Wing."
Trying to pretend that these aren't policies, across the board....mass surveillance, "Kill Lists," drilling, fracking, deregulating, corporatizing...to make a true "Right Winger" salivate.
It's a shame that posts like this OP are needed. After all, we all witness these betrayals every day with our own eyes, and our families are suffering the effects of them every day as our middle class is hollowed out and our Constitutional protections dismantled.
The only reason summaries like this are needed, is to highlight the utter absurdity of talking points like the one you just repeated.
