It’s official folks,it’s no longer Bush’s fault,but it’s still not Obama’s either.
Obamacare is unfolding to be a disaster,taxes on everybody have gone up,GITMO is still open and it’s sorta,kinda legal to kill Americans on American soil using Drone attacks.Even Obama’s most die hard followers are becoming embarrassed by him.
But it’s still not Obama’s fault and it no longer is even Bush’s fault.So who’s fault is it,who is to blame,who is the evil wretch who caused all this?
After reading a few comments under a couple articles at Salon.com and The Huffington Post(I know,but sometimes morbid curiosity gets the best of me) I found several instances of this-“If Romney had not been so far to the right I would have voted for him,but I had to vote for Obama again instead”
So there we have it folks,through an amazing,yet inevitable display of liberal psycho gymnastics it will now be Mitt Romney’s fault according to the left.
Yep–here in Australia, it’s all Tony Abbott’s fault, according to this lame-arsed lefty government. Even though Abbott is the leader of the opposition party and has never been P.M.
But when your supporters are a pack of dimwitted drooling indoctribots you can get away with blaming Albert the pet turtle and they’ll buy it.
It’s simply amazing KG,I don’t think there is a textbook clinical name for this kind of crazy
Did these people huff Mercury vapor as children?
Yep – it sure looks like that, Darin….
@KG:
The Leftist Blame Game (What? Me responsible for the disaster? NEVER!)
This reminds of the days of the Ye Olde Soviet Union when the Commies blamed the Czar for the food shortage until 1941, when their ally Hitler invaded the country and the Germans got the food shortage blame until 1946, when their former ally the USA got the food shortage blame, and when that blame game got old in about 1976, the Russian Commies said “Bad Weather” was the blame for the food shortage.
It guess being a Leftist means you’re never to blame for the train wrecks you cause.
“Did these people huff Mercury vapor as children?”
If they did, then not enough of it.
The BBC/Guardian/NYT generation.
Apart from being indoctrinated, they are simply unable to think for themselves. It is also more important, nowadays at school, to know where to find (or how to google) information than to actually learn anything ……….. let alone come to some conclusions of their own. 
OTOH, thank goodness it’s no longer Bush’s fault. I’ve been getting a bit tired of the crap he has done to the US economy and foreign policy over the last 4 years.
“Unable to think for themselves.”
Agreed.
I’m 51, and I take a bit of pride in my knowledge, geography in particular. People nowadays though – hell, damned near all 12-year-olds seem to not even know which island some New Zealand cities are on! Not only that, but they don’t know *basic* things like which century World War II was fought in – that kind of thing.
Lenin and Stalin would be proud of the commie teachers’ dumbing-down of the children.
I’ve been thinking about doing a small book/booklet containing basic facts that I believe *every New Zealand child* should know. Things like the capital cities of countries in Europe, highest mountains on the various continents, lists of famous scientists and inventors (and the things they are famous for) – that kind of thing. I might even include some basic *grammar rules* – one of my pet hates is when people use “try and” instead of “try TO”.
For example – “try and do this”, instead of “try to do this”.
Arrrrrrgh……
My pet hate and I have seen and heard so-called teachers do it: “Would of” as opposed to “would’ve” or “would have.” (The loss of understanding as to where an apostrophe should be is a battle which was lost several decades ago.)
Indeed–imagine, Bush sleeping while Americans were being murdered in Benghazi!
Oh, hang on……
“I’ve been thinking about doing a small book/booklet containing basic facts that I believe *every New Zealand child* should know. ”
Damn good idea, thor. We could put a post up here and you could ask for suggestions.
I agree. I detect the book will need to be routinely updated. When the maoris and their fellow travellers through the world of political correctness (read political bullshit) decided that Wanganui needed an “h” it was said to be an optional change. The mindless media have uniformly adopted the “h” and I suspect all government departments will have too. Why?
“The mindless media have uniformly adopted the “h” and I suspect all government departments will have too. Why?”
Because they’re terrified of the idea of actually thinking for themselves, and taking responsibility for it?
Read this blog. These contain the things very NZ child should know
Indoctrobots!
They’d learn a thing or two about Newziln, Ostrayia, Youkay, Soufaffrica and the Yousay. Maybe even about caliber, grains and muzzel velocity. But most of all about how the commies/socialists/dems/labour/greens and the muzzies are destroying the world and about good Judeo-Christian values and social and fiscal conservatism, and how the core family (one man and one woman with kids) is the cornerstone of society. It’s been good enough for the last couple of mellenia.
Why, thank you, ZenT!
But we have to be honest here; putting up Romney was exactly a smart move. Obviously better than Obama, but not enough contrast to swing voters over. We’ve got to front people who have spark, and Romney was a dead fish; we’ve got to front people who can inspire people with the conservative message, not put them to sleep.
Romney could not compete on the dishonest/in-your-face/razzamatazz of the Obama circus. If your attention span barely extends beyond the 1/2 hour weekly soap and remembering what to tell your welfare officer then Romney was not going to set your world alight. Personaly I found Romney’s reserved commentary quite refreshing for US politics. His policies were just not conserative enough – but then they are decided by a team of advisors and the RNC.
Romney lost because he was a typical politician who flip flopped on the issues for decades – and as a result, four or five million Republicans voters would not cast a ballot for a man they deemed a RINO, who they believed would simply continue socialist programs like Obamacare.
This came at a time when the patriot/libertarian/conservative base of the GOP wanted an outspoken patriot with a strong pro U.S. Constitution background as their candidate for president.
And this is the reason the anti-Romney Tea Party Movement fought a long and hard political battle in the primary election – and only gave Romney the nod when all the other potential candidates were found unacceptable for one reason or another.
The lesson of 2012 is that the GOP base will only accept establishment Progressive Republican candidates if they are the last man standing in the primary – and then they likely won’t vote for them in the general election.
Therefore, the future of the Republican Party is clearly with politicians like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, men who not only talk the talk about Free Minds, Free Markets and Individual Rights – but also walk the walk and have a track record to prove it.
From an Obama supporter reporter that is wising up:
President Obama has failed to deliver on few promises as miserably as his vow to create a more transparent and open government….
After seeing years of heavy-handed secrecy and incessant White House claims of national security to hide the ball from Congress, I supported President Obama’s efforts to clean things up and restore some balance. But like most reporters, I am suspicious of these types of promises, especially from politicians. Regardless of who occupies the White House, I understand that power wants power. Scrutiny just gets in the way.
President Obama is no different. Whether it’s responding to Congress, media questions, or FOIA requests, this administration is no better than its predecessor. The big difference: Obama is a Democrat. And because he is a Democrat, he’s gotten a pass from many of the civil liberty and good-government groups who spent years watching President Bush’s every move like a hawk.

Feds Spend $1.5M to Study Fat Lesbians

Another study showd that homosexuality in women is a moving feast (excuse the pun) and that they become bi/hetro at will while homosexual men are generally just that. Personally I think that soooo many homosexual women are just so fat and ugly that no man will look at them and so they seek love where thay can find it.
Homosexual men on the other hand are generally reed thin ………… maybe it is the amount of rooting they do that burns up the calories………….or just that they know what they need to do to attract partners.
Homosexual males are thin because most of them are fighting a losing battle with AIDS, drug addiction and psychological problems that tends to kill them off at least twenty years before the average hetrosexual male dies.
Don’t believe me? Then ask yourself how many elderly queers do you know of besides Elton John?
So once again I ask, “What the hell is so gay about the gay lifestyle.”
Well………..apparently you are not quite correct. This from a Danish study.
……with the advent of effective treatment for HIV/AIDS, mortality among men married to men has dropped to a level below that of unmarried or divorced men.
However the news is not so good for lesbian women as they have a very high risk of dying by suicide or from breast cancer.
Marriage has always been associated with a reduced risk of an early death and this research has confirmed that being married to and/or living with someone of the opposite sex was the best way to live longer. Married couples who did not live together were twice as likely to have an early death.

Somebody lied, obviously……
Oh, yeah, Romney was so far to the right he was kissing Obama’s ass. The right cheek, of course.
I agree…and I think Romney losing to Obama was a good thing in the long run for the GOP and the USA, as the Democommies would have played him like a professional gambler would a play drunk sucker in a Friday night poker game, and after about six months in office, Romney would have been moved to the Left of Joseph Stalin.
Thus the Republican Party has become little more than weeds on Capitol Hill and Obama has control of the Democommie weed wacker, determined to destroy the GOP in the next 18 months. Why not? Didn’t Obama’s patron saint, Lenin, destroy his allies in the Russian Revolution, the Social Revolutionary Party, in less than a year after coming to power, as the Revolution has no need of two parties to represent the “Working Class.”
However, as a wise man once said, “Execution in a few hours helps to concentrate the mind wonderfully well” and this has happened to the Republican Party just recently:

Was it oBowa who pledged he would get us out of Afganistan? We still there? Not one code pink protest? What is the world coming to?
thor42 … re your book. Should you have a “definition of words” section , you may care to share this on defining political correctness. PC is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by mainstream media holding forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end. Good luck.
Thor42,I want to produce a series of short books,Cliff notes if you will on being an employee.I figure to keep it simple and work them in slowly with such topics as –
How to read a Dial clock face
How to show up for work on time
How to show up for work more than twice in a two week period
Why full body Tattoos and Numerous piercings is not”dressed for success”
How to read a ruler
How to tie your own shoe laces
Of course these books will be mostly pictures and words with no more than two syllables since the younger generations by and large have reduced themselves to pointing and grunting.
Hmmm…all a bit difficult, Darin. A lot of ’em will need remedial training before they can even apply for a job.
