We Have to Be Consistent!

If you can go back over the last seven years to recall the anger you felt at various times towards the Left for going after Bush regardless of his not having merited such scrutiny over such things as the US attorneys firings or the Valerie Plame “leak”. If you can for a moment, remember that pit-bull defense you postured during the days, still ongoing in some circles, when the mantra on the Left was “Bush lied. People died.” Then you must draw upon the animosity you have stored from the behaviors you’d found so abhorrent among the Left and use them as the fuel needed to remind yourself that opposition for the sake of opposition is not opposition but emotional vitriol.

You must remind yourself how you viewed those people and temper your emotions.

We have looked upon those people for the last seven years as mere malcontents.

We heard the few pathetic things they had to say and then dismissed everything they said entirely. They were not to be taken seriously.

But, if you want to come off as informed, then you must avoid at all costs, opposing simply to oppose.

I have heard since November 5^th a few things conservatives have had to say about Obama. I have not been impressed.

For Sean Hannity, this is an “Obama” recession. I have to laugh.

While I’m sure there is some uncertainty in the market due to a lack of information regarding any specific Obama plan…let us not be so callow as to pretend that the market was not in turmoil before the election. The very intangible nature of the market system causes great uncertainty. Ask yourself where is the money right now that you deposited in the bank last Friday. While currently you may go in at any time to withdraw it, the actual money, which you most likely never held in your hand to begin with, is now in the ether of the market system.

It is this lack of knowledge on a global scale as to where the money is that is leading to most of the uncertainty.

Rush Limbaugh, who I greatly admire, has harped upon the Obama nomination of Hillary Clinton to Secretary of State. Why? Did we expect him to nominate a neo-con? While Rush’s analysis is often uncanny, it feels very much like opposition for the sake of opposition.

Let us stick to the real issues, and we can not begin to know what those are until President Obama puts his signature on that first piece of paper on his desk in the Oval Office.
