"We are having to "tolerate" a federal government that will not do its job. Who's next on the list to be sued by the feds? Arizona and Sheriff Joe are being sued because they want a lawful America. We're supposed to "tolerate" 9-ll, millions of illegals, gangs, drug cartels. When will the feds. listen to the people of this country?"

You know, this is actually a reasonable comment.

Yah, some of that is retarded extremist gibberish but it's the internet I bet half are trolls who don't believe it anyways. But, you can't dismiss things like the above quote simply because he's not "liberal" minded.

People really need to stop ranting about "corporate this" and "racism that" when people are simply expressing concern over Obama's (largely failing) policies.

Because they're becoming not-so-anonymous real life comments. I'm sure eventually it will die out as idealogues and populists usually do, but for the time being it's disconcerting that flocks of people are being led by uneducated entertainers. It's equally troubling (arguably moreso) that the left has tried to play catchup in the game of folksie sayings and aw shucks attitudes. I was well aware that Obama was a pragmatic centrist when I worked for him, but the level of compromise that he and Congress are making right now is disillusioning to me. I never drank the Kool-aid, but now it tastes like hemlock.

They're too fearful of being seen as defiant liberals by the other 45% that they've disappointed the 53% that put them in power. It goes not just for Obama, but the weak Democrat congress as well. Perhaps my standards have been set too high by President Bartlett, but it's shameful to think that in my country, official's education has become a liability rather than an asset. People are so insecure that they've chosen their leaders to be people that are like them, rather than people that are better than them. We lower the level of public discourse rather than raise it, and both public and private political debate has been ground down into a series of catchphrases written by PR directors, rather than informed debate, discussion and reasoning set by policy experts.

It's a depressing time to be a political science or public policy person.
