"Dems have a smug and snotty approach to governing." WTF?? Who died and made #LauraIngraham our judge and jury? I consider the GOP approach to governing reckless, racist, arrogant and fiscally demented! The national debt is over $4 trillion! Why don't you talk about that??

(58,785 posts)with liberal morality and principles. After all, they were the moral ones. In the past, while they were busy moving children off welfare and the people off the backs of business (before they were induced to finish abandoning the values they claimed to the tender care of their leaders), they'd need to deny that Democrats were out-moraling and out-Jesusing them.
Of course, that dogmatically weak period was succeeded by a much stronger, defensible new reality, implanted in millions of brains, that Democrats and liberalism are quite simply evil and determined to destroy all that is good and right about America.
So, many of us spent decades being naive and unrealistic to our faces and smug and snotty behind our backs. That was before we became just plain evil, of course, which makes seeing those put-downs pop up from "kinder and gentler" times rather amusing.
Ah, nostalgia...

Replying to @BetteMidler
Wow, "smug and snotty" from my sister, the queen of snipe. Laura, clearly you prefer a TRUMPublican governance that is fraught with confessed criminality, self-dealing and corruption. Are these the qualities you are raising your kids to aspire to?! SAD!
Thank you Bette Midler!
