And The faux outrage of the progressive mitlitants is 1000X times that of the Tea Party right.
They get outraged by NFL team names and large cups of soda. The right gets outraged at the IRS targeting certain groups and our President lying about the the death of Americans. Now which side demonstrates more "faux" in their outrage?
There is no "flip", President Bush wasnt demonized, or government wasnt shut down. The business of out nation didnt stop because Democrats didnt like him.

Fact -There was not a government shutdown during the W Bush Presidency.
All if this talk about the Redskins made me think about the topic of armchair liberals. Does anyone here deal with armchair liberals on a daily basis? I live in a city full of them. Urban dictionary gives a pretty good definition for being urban dictionary "a person of liberal ideals who takes no action to realize them." I think the biggest "theme" for armchair liberals is how they think they are helping the poor simply because they vote Democrat, then they dust off their hands and congratulate themselves on being such great activists. I find them annoying, but harmless.
Nope I rarely encounter loony liberals even when I lived in NYC. In NYC you do encounter types that feign belief in the various cool causes of the day. To date I have yet to meet one person offline that thinks the Redskins' name should be changed.
Also it's being reported that Snyder is even more defiant. He said if they want him to change the name he will, he will remove, "Washington"

I deal with armchair conservatives. You know, they make up the majority of the Republican party. The ones who sit silent and don't talk about a balance budget once conservatives are in office, blame government for their own personal failings in life rather than take ownership for their lack of success, whine about everything the left does even if it was the best course of action or the same thing that would have happened under conservative leadership, etc.
While this forum is almost entirely angry conservatives, I see very few posts of any substance, so I'd argue that armchair conservatives are a bigger problem and it would be nice to actually see any posts of the conservative variety here that are well thought out with ideas based on data and facts.
