The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend

The villagers are getting restless.



For starters, Obama did not cut spending for defense. In point of fact, he increased it by 8%.

As far as the vulnerability aspect goes, there is nothing that Obama can or will do that will satisfy conservatives like this clown. There were several incidents within the Bush administration years and all that we heard from conservatives was that "he kept us safe". There has not been a successful terrorist attack on this country since Obama took office.

Predictably, many will point to the shootings at Ft. Hood as a terrorist attack, even though the claims that Major Hassan was acting upon instructions from a cleric in Yemen, that has yet to be independently validated.

More to the point, it's this type of rhetoric that fuels militia groups and fringe elements that would be happy to see harm come to not just Barack Obama but anyone within his administration. And conservatives love militia groups.

This is a wondrous example of the paradigm that conservatives live in - that you're either "with us or against us". I distinctly remember hearing a former president that said that. They lake the ability of peripheral sight, to see anything outside the blinders of conservativism.

Think Progress has more.
