[Bumped] What Today's Cuckservatives Had to Say About Obama in 2009
Obama sprang coatless from his limousine and headed up the steps of Will’s yellow clapboard house.He was greeted by Will, Michael Barone, David Brooks, Charles Krauthammer, William Kristol, Lawrence Kudlow, Rich Lowry, and Peggy Noonan. They were Reaganites all, yet some had paid tribute to Obama during the campaign. Lowry, who is the editor of the National Review, called Obama “the only presidential candidate from either party about whom there is a palpable excitement.” Krauthammer, an intellectual and ornery voice on Fox News and in the pages of the Washington Post, had written that Obama would be “a president with the political intelligence of a Bill Clinton harnessed to the steely self-discipline of a Vladimir Putin,” who would “bestride the political stage as largely as did Reagan.” And Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard and a former aide to Dan Quayle, wrote, “I look forward to Obama’s inauguration with a surprising degree of hope and good cheer.” The Obama Memos - The New YorkerAny questions?

The treasonous neocon Zionist filth have not changed.

Imagine Ezio Pinza singing "Some Enchanted Evening" as the self-anointed Conservative Elite try on their new knee pads....
Everything that has made Trump possible, nay necessary, is on display in that New Yorker piece.

I get so tired with the lame-o overworked neocon, and when in the same sentence as Zionist, I imagine now instead of some skin-head with a swastika ranting in the darkened room behind the monitor, instead some young idjit named Mohammed, posting from an internet cafe in Tehran, for pay, or worse- at a click broker sweathouse in a basement in HongKong, working for Soro's dollars.
Can you nitwits give it a rest. Its beyond boring, its putrid, like something you scrape off your foot, left over from the crazy old lady neighbor walking her shitzu-whatever.
Go take your internet jihad somewhere else.

Foo, you're a bore. Go down to your local CC and sign up for a course in effective trolling. It will be offered by the Sociology or Poli Sci Dept, or both.

If you have no more imagination or intelligence than to blame your troubles on a "zionist" bogey, then you have nothing to say. Foo is right even if his style is a little loose. You have NOTHING to say.

Back on topic, Gerard, I'd been meaning to ask you if this means you have re-evaluated your estimation of Krauthammer.

I'm reevaluating everyone after this season of quislings on the right.

After the performance of the Republican Congressional majorities we have sent to DC, I think "reevaluation" is the least of the measures we need. How about turf all incumbents? Yes "all", except Ted Cruz. He's the one who made an asshole of himself trying to get the Republicans to nut up. We need a bunch more assholes like that.

Can't say you weren't warned, multiple times, and not just on the right. Everywhere, yourself included. No one can be 100% trusted.

Having had 0bama for the last 7 plus years makes me wonder if Congressman Hank "[Guam] is going to tip over and capsize" Johnson wouldn't have been a better choice. Seems to me this was obvious 7 plus years ago. All of the media (both the MSM and the few on the right) are complete idiots.

The Jim Goad article a couple posts down summed it up nicely.Dangerous Donald has shifted the Overton Window to the right,and the Georgetown/Manhattanites are in a panic.Pathetic Posers,all.

Earth to Foop. You're in Gerard's house. A bit presumptuous of you to ask him and his guests to leave, no?
