“Or they act relentlessly like a deranged propagandist”

If you find things one-sided that’s because “the other side” , when they show up, they come to make a single pontification and then leave.

Or they act relentlessly like a deranged propagandist.

I know I’ve tried to engaged many Obama supporters in many of the other articles on this blog but they never answer any questions.

How can it be our fault things are one-sided when the other-side refuses to engage in civil conversation?

America is the greatest nation on Earth, but not perfect. Nor does it lead in every possible category, so it might well be possible to have some other scale — many anti-Americans like to create such scales.

Nothing stops the ‘angry at America’ folk from leaving. Yet few do.
Their anger is more a destructive envy against those who have more, or the rich who disagree with them (and therefore should be punished/ taxed more).
And it’s anger against reality, where tradeoffs need to be made.

Like the two errors in justice: punishing some innocents, or letting guilty go unpunished. The more the system reduces one error, the greater the other error. And both errors will be made in any human system.

Of course, to anti-Christian Leftists, an “infallible Gov’t” replaces the disappointing God so that everything becomes possible, if only everybody would just believe in the True Leader!

When reading the article I immediately thought that she was actually talking about herself – the lost security of her own childhood – and that she’s angry about it.

Well it usually helps when the person who is seeking office (or the spouse) is not guilty of the very same things the rest of us are being accused of,, and then he is offered up as the only solution.

That isn’t preachiness on my part, either. I’m as much (if not more) guilty than most people in that regard. I’m also willing to recognize the truth in Michelle Obama’s observations.

When one hears someone criticize the flaws of our nation in hopes of creating something better and then responds by labeling it “angry” or indicative of a sense of entitlement, one does little to improve things.

One might disagree with Michelle Obama’s sentiments. One might disagree with her preferred methodology for solving problems. That’s fine. Dismissing her as some kind of over-critical harpy or (as others have done) as some kind of anti-American isn’t fine. It’s silly–and it’s proof that she’s on the right track.

Oh… I think someone else mentioned Eleanor Roosevelt. A different set of circumstances (obviously), but definitely an influential First Lady.

I perceive Barack as intelligent, glib and way too much on the make; Michelle, as angry and unlikable. Viewed individually, neither strikes me as creepy.

Viewed as a couple?

Yes, they are.
