Liberals Becoming Hilarious Again!

I remember back when Reagan was president, the left-wing was just about our #1 source of comedy and levity in a given day. Many a time, we could count on some pinhead liberal, to come on our TV and say something so outrageously funny, that we almost rolled in the floor... this was before ROFLMAO... in fact, that was probably where it originated. In any event, week in and week out, we'd be entertained by the latest spokes-clown for the democrats, lamenting some idiotic nonsense that we could all have a good laugh at, before counting our fat stacks and dreaming of the future of our reborn nation. Then came Bush, and the departure from Reagan conservative policy, and suddenly, the Liberals weren't very funny anymore, in fact... it almost seemed like they seriously had some ideas worth listening to... it was like watching Jerry Lewis play the straight guy... weird! And so, Clinton was elected... and for 8 years, we had to endure what was once a joke, becoming the reality of the day... gone were our visions of the capitalist conservative future with all its potential for economic growth and prosperity, and here we were, with liberalism left and right, seeping into our daily lives. Following the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal and impeachment, the Liberals became very hostile and hateful... not funny at all anymore... almost scary and ominous! Bush II didn't restore levity to the pinheads, he made their hateful vitriol even more intense and pronounced... and the shrillness became almost unbearable... so much, that the nation actually elected Obama to make it stop! Okay... Okay... we'll elect a left-wing nutjob socialist liberal to the presidency, happy now? But still.... for two years more, the tone continued to be the same hostile rhetoric directed at the right. It wasn't until the mid-term elections of 2010, that I started to notice a change.

Reeling from the devastating loss of over 600 statehouse seats to the Tea Party, the Lefties immediately launched a new invigorated hate campaign against them, but the poll numbers for the Big O keep tumbling, and the Indies keep leaning more and more to the GOP.... it's not working anymore... the hate game. So now, we are starting to see a retreat to the days of old.... a lot of talk recently about Reagan... even Obama trying to emulate Reagan... and as if it had returned from a stint in the Army... the Liberal '68 Comeback Tour is now underway! It promises to restore itself to the throne of political comedy in short order. Stay tuned!
 
It's amazing how many lies the right believes about Reagan and how they've twisted history to make him their hero.

"...Reagan actually ended up raising taxes - eleven times. That's according to former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson, a longtime Reagan friend who co-chaired President Obama's fiscal commission that last year offered a deficit reduction proposal.

"Ronald Reagan was never afraid to raise taxes," historian Douglas Brinkley, who edited Reagan's diaries, told NPR. "He knew that it was necessary at times. And so there's a false mythology out there about Reagan as this conservative president who came in and just cut taxes and trimmed federal spending in a dramatic way. It didn't happen that way. It's false."

I'm just wondering what sort of strange alternate universe you lived in, where Clinton was anything but an obvious continuation of the same neoliberal nonsense that Reagan started? How on Earth are you measuring this? Size of government? Clinton's was the smallest in 50 years. Reagan ran one of the largest there had ever been. Free markets? What are NAFTA and (excessive) bank deregulation? The Clinton administration was the peak of the conservative revolution, where conservatives proved that they controlled not one, but two largely identical parties with few differences besides their hatred of each other. Perhaps it is just that people hate most that which resembles themselves, because it makes apparent how utterly retarded they are.

The president isn't a dictator. He only had power to pursue any liberal goals he may have had while his party controlled congress, but his party was too divided and chose to pretty much squander all of its time (man, that doesn't remind me of any recent events; history has totally failed to repeat itself here). Republicans generally don't have this problem because Democrats are generally willing to do anything the Republicans say. Republicans, on the other hand, would refuse to save their own child's life just to spite the Democrat who alerted them that the child was in danger.
