Comments on: Oh Mollie, How Dare You Have Opinions? http://effinunsound.com/?p=126 Calling out the crazy in the Pacific Northwest Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:37:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Tahoma Activist http://effinunsound.com/?p=126#comment-1071 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 07:09:10 +0000 http://effinunsound.com/?p=126#comment-1071 I agree with Dan, but with one added point: Liberals and moderate conservatives that have any power or influence or desperate to keep the Progressive Movement from really gaining steam, because if it does, all hell will break loose. The war will end, thus ending massive corporate subsidies for defense contractors. Regulation will increase, and major monopolies will be broken up, drastically affecting the stock market. Global corporate free trade will end, with predictable results. And worst of all, the truth about 9/11 (Cheney did it) and the lies that sent us to war in Iraq will be exposed and the people who sold those lies to enhance their own mainstream credibility will look very, very stupid indeed, if not totally corrupt. When this happens, actual progressives like Sirota and liberal bloggers will achieve prominence, and these half-assed pundits will lose market share, thus affecting their fragile egos. These a-holes refuse to be marginalized, so they will do whatever it takes to keep that from happening, even sitting quietly by while our leaders sanction all kinds of heinous policies.

What he should be asking is why the hell the wingnuts, especially those at his site, have been mute regarding the Republican failures to do anything, and Bush's policies in Iraq have been a complete and utter failure. The common response is that Sound Politics is a local issues blog, but the Iraq war affects us all, and ignoring it and national issues is as good as sticking one's head in the sand in denial.
