Heavens! I'm no more infallible than any human being. I will fairly consider any facts you care to present.

Did you have some particular thing from me that you consider wrong?

Call a spade a spade, the real issue here is that Obama is a black dude, he got elected twice without stealing like his predecessor, then there is his legacy known as 'Obamacare". Now normalization with Cuba and nuclear treaty with Iran must really sting. Life must suck in Bundistan.

All such indeed really sting, especially with the massive opposition erected every second of Obama's tenure.

This is what is causing gnashing of the teeth in Bundistan.

Court rejects suit over Obama immigration moves

Three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled unanimously that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio lacked legal standing to sue over Obama's drive to grant quasi-legal status and work permits to immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally as children and to illegal immigrant parents of U.S. citizens.

Oh yeah. That's all I do. I do nothing but spend my time looking for ways to make life worse for those less fortunate than me.

Now please excuse me. I have to go heckle some folks at the homeless shelter.

Given the way you heckle here, that idea doesn't sound as ridiculous as you intend.

Mike, you are such a loosah! You grab and then edit a post from 10 months ago that isn't even about you and then try to make it about you anyway. Aren't you getting enough negative attention? Or did you see yourself in the below?

This refers back to a book John Dean wrote a few years ago called "Conservatives Without Conscience" an obvious play on the title of a book by Barry Goldwater (Dean's hero), "The Conscience of a Conservative". In the book Dean talks at length about the authoritarian "kiss up, kick down" mentality of most of today's conservatives. It explains a lot, like their eagerness to follow arbitrary, quixotic and mean spirited leaders and their desire to actually make life worse for those less fortunate then themselves.

Mike gets a pass on thread resurrection. i posted a link to this in response to his post in another thread.
