YouTube - Klavan On The Culture

This guy summarizes very well the last 30 years of democrat arguments. He has them pegged beautifully and exposes their "argument" time after time, issue after issue, and the tactics and methods they are so well versed in.

You will definitely recognize some of your leftie posters and the "arguments" they use on this board.

I do think this video is pretty funny and actually spot on true....BUT, spot on about Obamabots not all Democrats. As a moderate Democrat, I can tell you many in our party do not play the "shut up" game and do not agree with the current out of control governing. Just take a look at the moderates in Congress that have challenged Obama's spending.

In much the same way all Repubs didn't agree with Palin, all Democrats do not agree with Obama.

There are true Democrats, and then there are the Obamacrats described in this video. Please do not confuse the two.

I agree with you - he should have drawn a distinction between the left/liberal dems and moderate/conservative dems, such as yourself.

I would consider you a Reagan Dem.

Even so, he has the lib/left dems and their tactics pegged to a tee.

So true. From a liberal it is either "Shut up" or a barrage of insults.

Notice on this board, when one speaks against Obama, instead of staying on topic, certain Obamabot posters turn the post personal and make a personal attack against the CD poster (which is against the TOS). They really want to shut me up as they know I was a Hillary supporter and a moderate Democrat. The only thing they hate worse than a Repub, is another Democrat that doesn't follow Obama in lock step.

Great video.

Liberals know this is true. They just don't have the tenacity to admit it. The path of least resistance is the only way they know how to proceed. I like to refer to it as cowardly yes men.

I am a conservative leaning libertarian. I have no problem talking with, or debating liberals who can actually hold a conversation and express their views without resorting to personal attacks, insults, or straw man arguments. Yet this is all I ever hear from Obama and his supporters. I have yet to come across one Obama supporter who can articulate why they actually support him once they get passed the simplistic campaign slogans.
