from a pennlive posting
this was posted by jtap66 on a pennlive.com article and is possibly one of the best things i’ve ever read on there. jtap66, if you’re reading this and want me to remove it feel free to email me and i’ll take it down, i just felt this should be preserved for posterity:
When it comes to accepting any blame for the state this country is in, the NeoCons live in NeverNever Land. Just look at Bush - he still denies the myriad mistakes he made in office.
These people will blame Obama no matter what. Just let it roll off.
Their logic is as follows - Clinton’s economy was so good because he inherited it from Bush Sr. Then, it wasn’t Bush’s tax cuts combined with massive spending that sunk the surplus - it was leftovers from Clinton that did that! However, Obama didn’t inherit the economy from G.W. Bush…this is all his fault. Obama is so talented, that he managed to travel back in time and muck up the economy before he was even elected! Maybe this is why the NeoCon empty-heads constantly refer to him as a savior!
The best part? When I complained that trillions of dollars of my “wealth” was “re-distributed” under G.W. Bush (Yes, we did pay taxes under Bush. Does that make him Socialist?) to pay for a bogus Iraq war, line the pockets of Blackwater & Haliburton through no-bid contracts & repair an Iraqi infrastructure that WE destroyed then I was “Un-American”. Remember the NeoCon mantra - “You’re either with us or against us”. Yet somehow when our “wealth” is “re-distributed” under Obama (Still pay taxes…just like under Bush…only now I’ll be paying less. Funny.) to pay for infrastructure repairs here in America? It’s the evil tentacles of Socialism.
Make no sense to you? Congratulations, you have a functioning brain and aren’t easily dazzled by catch-phrases, double-speak and baseless assertions.
