    Interesting bit from the article:

    "Mr Obama benefited in his campaign from an idiotic level of idolatry, in which most of the media participated with an astonishing suspension of cynicism. The sound of the squealing of brakes is now audible all over the American press..."

    Goes along with this CNN (of all people) poll.

    "an idiotic level of idolatry" must be considered one of the most accurate summations ever penned

    Yes we are definitely living in very scary times with far too much change going on. All the old political definitions have to be updated to reflect these terrifying age we live in.

    "Obstructionism" only refers to Democratic minorities opposing Republican proposals.

    "Tyranny" is found when an elected Democratic majority passes legislation that Republicans don't like.

    "Reconciliation" describes a Senate process that Republicans are allowed to use to overcome Democratic "obstructionism."

    "Terrorism" refers to acts of political violence committed by people who aren't white guys.

    "Bipartisanship" is found when Democrats agree to pass Republican legislation.

    "Big government" describes a dangerous phenomenon to be avoided, except in cases relating to reproductive rights or gays.

    "Treason" refers to Democrats criticizing a Republican administration during a war.

    "Patriotism" refers to Republicans criticizing a Democratic administration during a war.

    "Fiscal responsibility" is a national priority related to keeping our deficit in check, which only applies when Republicans are in the minority.

    "Parliamentarian" is a seemingly independent official on the Hill who Senate Republicans are allowed to fire when the GOP disapproves of his/her rulings.

    Here's an idea...how about we get rid of both "status quo" parties and elect people that actually want to to what's best for the country (and not just their small slice of constituents or themselves)?

    A radical thought for those that can only seem to sling mud at the "other side", I know, but I say it's worth looking into.
