This is an important post regarding recent comments by Sanders and others that the base is split,

with many within the base unhappy with the rightward policies and appointments that have become common under Obama's leadership. Of course he had to fill appointments with Republicans and adopt policies created by the Heritage foundation, all for the same reasons he needs to employ the great wisdom of the Chicago school of economics and a more pragmatic view of ancient constitutional freedoms that simply do not apply to the new American century.
Why? because he is not a moonbat unkempt hippy that thinks even the lower classes matter as much as the producers that keep the party flush with donations and are the only hope if prosperity is to trickle down on our lessers, thereby raising their filthy little boats enabling them to get much needed baths and haircuts. .

There is no split. the base is behind our sagacious leader 99.9% of the time because they know he is smarter than all of us combined, the liars that claim any of the base is unhappy are not even part of the base!


What firebaggers like Sanders and the pathetic paleo-Democratic, Libertarian far left, Anarchists for Putin that have taken over this site need to understand is they are fake "Democrats" suffering from a clinically undetectable mental disorder called ODS, and as such, are not real Democrats, and certainly not his base

they are really mostly (nearly all in fact) libertarians registered as Democrats that only voted for him to advance a master plan the goal of which is to "bring him down" because ODS.

Their end game after bringing down the best President of all time (past and future) is to finally herald a new administration with a Rand as president (whom they love almost as much as Putin).

They are clever and embedded (many of them operating sleeper cells of so called "Democrats" for 30 or even up to 60 years).

Real Democrats like Obama, Baucus, anyone named Nelson, Rahm Emanuel, Lieberman (before the firebaggers forced him to run as a party of one) and Ed Rendell are under constant attack by racist libertarians that claim to vote for Democrats as a cover and who must be destroyed.

Their ODS inspired plot also includes discrediting great thinkers - true progressive thinkers like Milton Friedman and collaborative progressive thinkers like Will Marshall, Al From and others who were so pragmatic that they got an incredibly smart billionaire set of brothers named Koch to help fund their DLC. If billionaires as brilliant as they backed their progressive plans, all I can say is the DLC were top notch geniuses that had been working since the eighties to bring us a Democratic utopia of REAL liberal policies and we MUST carry their torch onward into the future.

The Paulite conspiracy runs so deep here at Neo-DU, that the only way to be sure of backing true Democrats is to check to make sure they are connected to the third way think tank, the progressive policy institute, are former DLC alumni, or in the case of posters on this site - Boggers in good standing with the group.

We true Democrats must have Obama's back no matter what he says or does!

We are NOT frustrated by revelations about the Obama administration's secret government spying programs or the president's support for military action in Syria and we support visionaries such as Summers and that hero Brennan just as we hope to do more for banks and for free trade. We promote kill lists and indefinite detention without rights because all these things are the true Democratic agenda and are all attempts to further the interests of the common working man and his right to be allowed to lose rights and job security in order to enable them to patriotically provide the US with the ability to be competitive on the global labor market and to also allow for a nation secure from the many domestic threats of the disgruntled far left and libertarian terrorists before they become organized. We want these things for our lessers because we love them and have their backs and know what's best for them.

If what is best for them is to reduce their earned benefits like SS and Medicare when they are whinny old farts that can't earn money for their betters anymore, we will support such cuts BECAUSE we love them and want to help them find ways not to be the useless takers that they are. The same for the poor that claim that cutting programs like food stamps will hurt them, in the reality based world if they are not hungry and useful to their betters then we have failed to help them find the bliss in working three min wage jobs to help an economy that is wisely designed to funnel cash to the only people with the ability to trickle success down upon them. I mean, how can we help them if we don't help the rich that may decide to help them at some point eventually?

In conclusion, 99.9% of true Democrats support President Obama on everything all the time and those that do not provide such complete and trusting blind support are not really Democrats or "the base", but rather ODS racist libertarians with an agenda going back to the days of that 'bagger FDR and his hatred of those financially secure enough to shower their wealth down upon us with their unfettered ingenuity. We have already paid a great price for the suffocating regulations that held back the prosperity of the nation until Rubin and Summers under the very liberal Bill Clinton removed the regulatory handcuffs that impedede the creation of true and lasting prosperity that only unfettered capitalism can provide.

Obama's true base loves him, support his every decision 100% and always will, do not believe the lies of the firebagging Putin lovers that not only never really loved him but actually hate him and always will because ODS and their worship of Randian libertarianism.

We need to stick together and go on the attack against what so many falsely see as his Democratic base, our numbers are small, but we are right, have the best funding, and will win in the end bringing to fruition our Progressive Koch inspired Democratic agenda that was so well articulated by our founding DLC heroes. We pragmatic few, ARE THE ONLY true base!

Lets rally! Lets Win!

I did some research because I feel if you could actually learn to type and communicate you could join in in the discussions here rather than just posting pictures that express your dissatisfaction with My President (that you mistakenly thing is extremely clumsy).

http://education-portal.com/articles/List_of_Free_Online_Typing_Courses_and_Practice_Programs.html

I hope this helps! Posting in a forum for discussion includes the need to post discussions (words) rather than just childish pictures, there are sites for just posting your favorite pictures if posting pictures is all you know how to do, but try taking a class and learn to use actual words! Words are not wicked and God will not punish you for learning to use them.

Discussing issues on a discussion board without the ability to discuss issues (or anything but "..." and "Sid&quot , is tragic and I hope like Helen Keller He breaks through the communication barrier and can join the rest of us in communicating ideas via discussion on a board made for discussion.

Fine. Be that way. You're the onlyest one that won't know just how IMPORTANT it really, really was. And then one day someone will be talking about IT and you'll just look all silly not knowing. You'll say: ''Whatever are you talking about??? That couldn't be something important since I would KNOW if it were important or not!'' And they'll just laugh and laugh. Because YOU WON'T KNOW!

Ha!

So that's okay.

Don't read it.

Just don't look.

No peeking.

clear my mind and allow me to understand the big picture and the need for absolute loyalty towards a really great man and more importantly an exceptional and entitled country.

It didn't taste minty, but it did clear my mind, I know now that such a gentleman would never lie to me. I have learned since meeting him that our Government and President are naturally altruistic and should be trusted blindly no matter what I believed last week regarding civil rights and a distrust of Chicago economics.

So no, I am not on LSD, I am on a mission .... and a curiously strong breath mint.

LSD makes one laugh, it can be enjoyable.

It is not as much fun hating so many people so vehemently just because they refuse to see the great wisdom of our infallible leader and role model.

Are you trying to do your own version of Third-Way Manny/Stephen Colbert style Irony?

If so, I humbly say, you did a nice job

Way too much nuance and rationality.
Not near enough Attacks on the Messengers or Strawmen.

You have to be willing to go the FULL BOG and Just Make Shit Up if you REALLY want to show everybody how much YOU Support the President, and THEY don't.
