So what's the deal with the "apocalyptic rhetoric" meme?
Is that going to be used to dismiss ALL legitimate criticism of what this admin's going to do as it shifts further and further and further right with no absolute point at which the shifts ever stop?

1. Sounds like a talking point to me
So many different ways to say "sit down, shut up".

Here's my response to the people who call us alarmists whenever we say the government is becoming fascist.

4. Along with the "purist" meme currently being used
It's like they all go to the same place to get their talking points - if it were on tape Jon Stewart could do one of his montages.

3. Well they have an arsenal of them...
When one dies out they whip out a new one. First it was the "time" meme. Anyone complaining just wasn't giving Obama time. When that ran out we all wanted "a pony" Then we were all "fucking reta***" and then we needed "drug rehab".

What really confuses me is I have not changed a single position since Obama was elected. Pro-Gay , Pro-Union, Pro-Enviroment, Anti-War, Anti-Corporation etc etc, all the standard liberal positions. Yet I am now apparently part of some huge conspiracy to sabotage Obama's presidency. Obama Bashers Inc or some shit like that. I held fast to my liberal ideals and it made me the enemy. Fucking looney toons if you ask me.
