On the billboard of a local vet: "Irritate the Liberals. Keep working and smile." Considering how many vets are in the area to chose from, its ballsy to wear your politics on a billboard, and even more to give Liberals the spotlight.
And from a young Libertarian, "Liberals are in control of everything, and have been for years!" He said that he felt like his opinion no longer mattered. I told him that it's the way Liberals have felt for several decades. I reminded him that it was not long ago that DLCers like Lieberman were still around to sabotage the unity of Democrats and that we are now "leading the pack" is a new development.
But I do think the tide has turned. Now, let's make all the right decisions for all the right reasons and get this country back on its feet.

(11,489 posts)It feeds right into what Limbaugh and other right-wing propagandists tell them, and drives them bat-shit crazy. I posted that I was doing that before the last election and there were freepers posting that it should be illegal to even claim to have voted more than one on message boards.

Same thing here. If you lament that you're not in control it's because you've given up control.
It's easier to lament than it is to take control.

Must I go on? Are taxes being raised? No. Is there a massive public works project going? No. Will there be? No.
Christ, even when the Democrats were in control of the Congress there weren't any liberal things going on.
In control? Really? Because of a moronic slogan on a billboard and some idiot libertarian that doesn't even know what a liberal is says so?
I don't mean to be harsh but we are in control of nothing.

But he's not a liberal either.
