Progressive assholes.

( – promoted by buhdydharma )

The number 1 rec’d diary at DKos contains the following formulation:

Things are so bad for “President-Elect” Ahmadinejad and “Supreme Leader” Khamanei right now that there would be few tears shed for an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.  That’s not a suggestion that the U.S. should get near Iran with a ten-foot poll (sic), only an observation that the establishment wouldn’t gain much sympathy if not a whole lot of blame and further destabilization of their illegitimate(and it is) regime.

All I can say is, What The Fuck?  And I’m not talking about the incoherence of that second sentence.  What The Fuck do Iran’s fucked up elections have to do with a massive bombing campaign?  That’s really quite revealing all by itself.  That’s how fucked-in-the-head people (progressives!!!) can be.

Indeed, I have noticed all over the tubes today that wingnuts on both sides of the aisle are aching for destabilization in yet another oil-producing country.

Seriously: Fuck the fuck off people.

    writing crap like that. and the only kind of liberals that write that kind of crap are neo-liberals – neo-cons who convince themselves that liberally applied imperialism is progressive or liberal.

    “Assholes” is s good choice of words.

  2. Just because lunatics post nonsense at dK doesn’t make them progressives.

    Moreover, we shouldn’t indulge the same argument as O’Reilly that because something was posted on dK it makes it a liberal point of view.

    I’ve not been looking at DKos much today — but if that’s on the reclist, I’m pretty bemused…

    Operation Comeback

    By Joshua Muravchik, October 31, 2006,

    American Enterprise Institute (AEI.org)

    We neoconservatives have been through a startling few years. Who could have imagined six years ago that wild stories about our influence over U.S. foreign policy would reach the far corners of the globe? The loose group of us who felt impelled by the antics of the 1960s to migrate from the political left to right must have numbered fewer than 100. And we were proven losers at Washington’s power game: The left had driven us from the Democratic Party, stolen the “liberal” label, and successfully affixed to us the name “neoconservative.” In reality, of course, we don’t wield any of the power that contemporary legend attributes to us. Most of us don’t rise at the crack of dawn to report to powerful jobs in government. But it is true that our ideas have influenced the policies of President George W. Bush, as they did those of President Ronald Reagan. That does feel good. Our intellectual contributions helped to defeat communism in the last century and, God willing, they will help to defeat jihadism in this one. It also feels good to see that a number of young people and older converts are swelling our ranks.

    [snip]

    Prepare to Bomb Iran. Make no mistake, President Bush will need to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities before leaving office. It is all but inconceivable that Iran will accept any peaceful inducements to abandon its drive for the bomb. Its rulers are religio-ideological fanatics who will not trade what they believe is their birthright to great power status for a mess of pottage. Even if things in Iraq get better, a nuclear-armed Iran will negate any progress there. Nothing will embolden terrorists and jihadists more than a nuclear-armed Iran.

    The global thunder against Bush when he pulls the trigger will be deafening, and it will have many echoes at home. It will be an injection of steroids for organizations such as MoveOn.org. We need to pave the way intellectually now and be prepared to defend the action when it comes. In particular, we need to help people envision what the world would look like with a nuclear-armed Iran. Apart from the dangers of a direct attack on Israel or a suitcase bomb in Washington, it would mean the end of the global nonproliferation regime and the beginning of Iranian dominance in the Middle East.

  5. “We won’t get fooled again”!  Fuckers are getting fooled again.  

  6. I didn’t know that.

  7. I have seen the same kinds of comments on many liberal blogs the last two days. They usually start with….”I can’t believe I am about to say this after defending Iran against Bush for so long but…”

    Real smart. Lets see how long all those young people stay out in the streets protesting and demanding their own kind of change once bombs start falling on their heads. I couldn’t think of a better way to unify the people around Ahmadinejad than that.

    This country feels more and more like the movie “Idiocracy” everyday.  

  8. wtf?

    lol, please understand Im not “into” this, just every once in a while. usually at these kinds of wtf moments.

    At 05:01 UT (Universal Time), on Thursday, May 7th, 2009, Mercury the cosmic trickster turns retrograde at 1°44′ Gemini, in the sign of the Twins, sending communications, travel, appointments, mail and the www into a general snarlup! The retro period begins some days before the actual turning point (as Mercury slows) and lasts for three weeks or so, until May 31, when the Winged Messenger reaches his direct station. At this time he halts and begins his return to direct motion through the zodiac.

    Everything finally straightens out on June 14, as he passes the point where he first turned retrograde, just before Jupiter turns retrograde in Aquarius. Mercury normally turns retrograde three times a year, but this year he turns tail four times, which is unusual. The effects of each period differ, according to the sign in which it happens .

    A planet is described as retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards through the zodiac. According to modern science, this traditional concept arises in the illusory planetary motion created by the orbital rotation of the earth with relation to other planets in our solar system. Planets are never actually retrograde or stationary, they just seem that way due to this cosmic shadow-play.

  10. Plain and simple

    Manifest Destiny is in our bloodstream.

  11. There is no government, there are several governments and they are at war with each other.

  12. 1)Insurance Companies (and the senators who protect them.)

    2)Progressive assholes.

    3)Mean Hippies.

    …but I can grok the sentiment. No, I haven’t read the Kos diary and don’t plan to. But it occurred to me just last night while messaging a one-liner to my hubby at a gig – “Tehran is on fire.”

    Now, the Israeli’s don’t need the ‘progressive’ blogosphere to give them permission to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities. They managed Osirak on their own quite well. But now just might be a good time to set ’em back another decade, if some country nearby had a mind to.

    Given that it’s Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions that are a regular big problem for the so-called ‘civilized world’. Always have been. Nobody’s talking about nuking Iran, or carpet-bombing the rioting populace, or marching an invasion army across the border. Hell, they’re not even talking about well-targeted assasso-missiles to take out the bad guys. Google Osirak. It’ll help put things in perspective.

    i came close to hring the atj tonight, but that would have meant leaving a comment and and i didn’t want to get involved in that mess.  had too much catch up stuff to do after being gone all day yesterday to read the comments, but i hope more than bicycle hussein paladin spoke up.

  15. Ahem!

    “I don’t understand why everyone is ganging up against Obama who was forced to tell DOMA that he agreed with the courts that gays shouldn’t marry.  

    We all have to remember that his hands are tied and he has to watch his step so as not to give the GOP any ammo to cause us to lose seats.

    He may have an all Democrat majority but that certainly doesn’t mean that he can just push our views through legislation.”

    And that’s all I got because I just threw up.

    Why is it so hard to sell out my core beliefs to become an Obama apologist?

    Oh I YEARN to be accepted by such a crowd!

  16. Who gives a rat-fuck what that disgusting circle-jerking nest of blinkered shills, tools, goons, thugs and morons at DailyKos think, write, believe, say or do?

    DailyKos on ANY issue: “I know the Democrats aren’t doing the right thing here but would you rather have REPUBLICANS in power!?  Hmm?  Hmmm!!??”

    It’s the single most idiotic site on the net.

  17. That’s exactly why I left there.

  18. that progressive was a term that was thought up because liberal was at that time a dirty word. Still is I guess.

  19. The number 1 rec’d diary at DKos contains the following formulation:

    It’s mainstream Democratic Party line over there. Anyone who contradicts it gets called every name in the book. Their explicitly stated purpose is “to elect Dem candidates.” Let’s face it: “[D]estabilization in … oil-producing countr[ies]” is mainstream corporate Democratic Party policy.
