From The Onion
People who are called Progressives are stereotyped as intelligent, well-educated, open-minded, reformers and willing to look and try new things. As well as living in either a big Northeastern city, like Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston. Or living in Seattle or San Francisco or Los Angeles and look down at people who don't. I'll grant where so-called Progressives tend to live, which is why their political candidates don't tend to do very well outside of these areas.
But the way these Leftists (Or Socialists, but not real Progressives) treated President George W. Bush, someone I voted against twice and consider him to be the worst President, at least in my lifetime, it's hard to label these left-wingers as a group, open-minded. As well as things like on education reform and other issues. Where they tend to be for the status-quo.
As open and reform minded, as well as supporting someone like Barack Obama as strong as they did in 2008, because they saw him as one of them, a Socialist Democrat, thats common in Europe. Someone who would try to make America like Europe, which is what Socialist have been trying to accomplish since the 1930s, at least. They saw Candidate Obama as the new George McGovern or Dennis Kucinich. But someone who could get elected.
If Socialist Hippies are so intelligent and open-minded as a group and I'll admit they have their share of intelligent people, as well as ignorant people who say the wildest things. And have their own conspiracy theories, they would've done their research on Barack Obama. And instead of finding the next George McGovern, would've saw Bill Clinton or Jack Kennedy. Someone who doesn't believe the Federal Government has all the answers. And that we have to be creative and intelligent and how we deal with these issues.
And that raising taxes or creating a new Federal program or spending more money on a current Federal program, isn't always the best way to solve these problems. You would think with all the Leftists that go to Ivy League schools, they would've bothered to of do their research on then Senator Barack Obama. And wouldn't now be so disappointed with him today.
I have my own issues with Barack Obama, he's not liberal enough for me on social issues. And doesn't have enough respect for civil liberties on national security. On things like the Patriot Act and indefinite detention and the War on Drugs. But I didn't vote for him in the Democratic primary in 2008. And had a pretty good idea what we were getting from him as President.
I've never seen Barack Obama as a Saint or a God or voted for him because he's cool. Which is the main reason why a lot of young people voted for Senator Obama for President. I feel no remorse for Socialists that worked as hard as they did and voted for him as President. And are now disappointed in him now.
