It’s The New Tone

Ya’ll lack it.

I think this speaks for itself.

The laziness of it all is amusing though. The turmoil over the debt ceiling went on for what felt like an eternity, and this is what they came up with.

The hypocrisy over the new tone is distressing, but it’s not unexpected. I think intellectual laziness is more at play here than anything else.

Curt, that poster art glues the Left to the wall.

I used to buy into the idea that the Left’s politicos and pundits had bad cases of cognitive dissonance.
But then I looked into the definition of cognitive dissonance.
It is defined as a painful mental discomfort caused by trying to hold two opposing intellectual positions at the same time.
But one must be smart enough to recognize the dilemma he has put his own mind in or he cannot suffer from the pain of cognitive dissonance.

So, you’re conclusion is correct: Intellectual laziness is more at play here than anything else.

PS, each of these same politicos and pundits ought to be researched to see what EXACTLY that said about the need for a new tone after the Gabriel Giffords attack.

The last guy, on the bottom of the poster….
Joe Nocera.
He has added a bit more violent imagry today.

Once the Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives, they began to systemically undermine the Dodd-Frank reform law, pushing back against new, and mostly sensible, regulations designed to prevent another meltdown. The worst was the way Republicans took a hatchet to Elizabeth Warren as she tried to set up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

TOOK A HATCHET????
Really?
Later, in that same essay he writes this mealy-mouthed apology:

That anger reached its apex on Tuesday, when I wrote a column comparing the Tea Party Republicans to terrorists. The words I chose were intemperate and offensive to many, and I’ve been roundly criticized. I was a hypocrite, the critics said, for using such language when on other occasions I’ve called for a more civil politics. In the cool light of day, I agree with them. I apologize.

So…..IF he offended you, he’s sorry you were so sensitive as to be offended by his words.
And …..put down that hatchet!

Tea Party Conservatives are excluded from the upcoming, and unconstitutional Super Congress in November, and should a tie occur, Obama supposedly cast The deciding vote. So how do you think this will turn out?? Not in our favor again.Pelosi mentioned the other day in her meeting with union member that they have a plan: Raising taxes with the Super Congress, and shut down the government, blaming it on the GOP.
So, here we are again, taxes or shutdown.
The Post office in bankrupt and need another bailout, so does Fannie, needing another 5.1 Billion dollars.

I am appalled, although having nothing to do with this thread, that 31 of our finest were killed last night, and not one peep from any of these cretins in DC. That is shameful; my gut tells me something doesn’t add up, because part of our Team 6 was in that chopper.
Who sold our finest down the river, or leaked their whereabouts?? We have all these muslim anti-americans in this admin!
