Under the Bus, no.2
By mike flugennockTuesday - April 19th, 2011



Just the other day, I was rummaging around in the Blogozone in search of inspiration — as per usual, when I found this juicy quote from an Al Schumann article at Stop Me Before I Vote Again:



Now, the article itself is about a year and a half old, written during the depths of the healthcare “debate”, but is still amazingly prescient in the context of the intervening two years of inaction, abuse and betrayal by the Democratic Party of its Left/Progressive constituencies, culminating in the recent budget compromise which gave the Rightists in Congress pretty much everything they wanted.

Teetering on top of a pile of the people pushed under it. Jeezus, what an image. Thanks, Schumann.

Actually the real problem with the Rick Warren pick is that he's actually called for the assassination of the Iranian President. That's like, a serious diplomatic boo boo.

I suppose my only quibble with this photo is that Obama always promised to throw progressives under the bus. It shouldn't be a surprise. But it is! Through lovely actions like this, Obama is accelerating the process of waking up from the dreamland progressives have been in for years. There aren't that many lines Obama can cross and actually find his legions of annoying trolls silenced, but attacking the gay community in the wake of proposition 8 is one of them.

Hooray for this kind of throwing us under the bus. At least no one died and stupid greedy assholes didn't make any money from it. That's being thrown under the bus I can believe in.

Obama’s Big Bus!
By mike flugennockWednesday - December 3rd, 2008

At least up until the last “election” or two, you used to hear a lot – especially from the Donkeycrats – about the proverbial “Big Tent”, ostensibly used to symbolize the Party’s diverse constituencies, but actually just a cheesy way for your Party to pander to segments of the voting population it normally wouldn’t give the time of day to.

Once again though, huge props to the Obama Cult for taking this concept a bold step further. Amazing, how quick and efficient he was, too.


Hear that, UFPJ? Hear that, Code Pink? He already wants to expand the war into Afghanistan? He’s roped in your votes, he’s got what he needed from you, now your ass is under the bus!

Environmentalists? Didn’t he shift his position on offshore oil drilling? D’ohh, under you go. Looking like some awesome parties at the Inauguration, though.

Gays? Lesbians? Let’s not even go there. He doesn’t even want you to be able to marry. He’s even invited that born-again creep, Rick Warren, the Purpose-Driven Gay Basher, to speak at his friggin’ Inauguration! Why the hell did you all go for him so much? Doesn’t matter, you’re gone anyway. Crunch. Ouch.

I could go on, but you can see where I’m headed. The wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round…
