(15,689 posts)Oh you know we had to rescue Reaganism from its final flaming crash. We were just powerless to do anything but put trillions of the public's future earnings into the hands of banksters and thus restore their iron grip over our national politics into perpetuity. We just had to and still have to shield these psychopathic monsters from investigation and prosecution. And we just had to stuff every working age American into the slavering maw of the Insurance Cartel, like so many bleeding sausages, since Insurance goons are the system we have, not the system we would design if we were designing one from scratch. Honest. We just had to double down on the failed war in Afghanistan. General Petraeus looked at us crossly as soon as the subject came up and simply would not hear of cutting our losses. We were only the party with control of the White House, House of Representatives and the Senate. Obama is just one man. We were just powerless to do else.
Centrism: feigned helplessness masking an aggressive rush to the right.
