The 1st Thread/Yesterday's Leftovers For 9/28/10: Shut Up And Appreciate Our Awesomeness

The current "Shut up Liberal" messenger of our times did it again yesterday.

Once again, Duncan Black's latest succinctly keen observation is timely:

A frustrating thing is that the administration doesn't say, "we'd like to do this but we got the best we can do," instead they say "what we did was awesome."

"Grateful and truly humble the nation's liberal base should be to this Administration, for we are the greatest Administration ever. And the fact that you can't fully acknowledge our brilliance is really shameful."

That is the thought process right now emulating from this Administration to the people they know full well are privy to never wanting to vote Republican. And it is once again misguided.

Even more frustrating is how they rush to claim the word "progressive" for their legislative accomplishments despite being (and advocating) to just be "centrist." It confuses the narrative further about what is truly apart of "progressive" goals and values when they continue to place that label on their mediocre bills.

But when you have the Tan idiot and his crackpots as your opposition, it's always easy to see why the White House can always slide back into that comfortable position of bossing the base.

Once again, you are backed into a corner, where the alternative choice is unfathomable. Once again, we are left with pretty dire prospects.
