Don't go away mad; just go away!

“Whether we are analyzing why blue liberalism doesn’t work anymore or trying to think about what kind of political synthesis could replace it, we should do something obvious and ask ourselves what it is that Americans want. We are not thinking through a political program to recommend to one of Plato’s philosopher-kings; we are asking what kind of program and what kind of results could attract the enduring support of the American voters who, in our system, have the last word on how the system is run. […] Americans want to believe that all four of their goals work together: that defending their security, promoting their prosperity, preserving their freedom and equality, and fulfilling their world mission are all part of an integrated package and world view — and that the commonsense reasoning of the average American can understand the way the pieces fit together. They are, in other words, looking for more than a set of unrelated policies that accomplish their goals: they want those policies to proceed from some kind of integrated and accessible world view that meshes with their understanding of traditional American values and concerns. They want an ideology that links the policies of the present day to the national story and the national civic religion.” [emphasis added]
— WALTER RUSSELL MEAD, December 20, 2010 (the-american-interest.com)
Above all else, what Americans don't want is some wannabe philosopher-king promising them hopey-dopey, making nice to our enemies, and shoving smelly-socialist horseshit down our throats. We want leaders who think America is exceptional and has an important role to play in this dangerous world we live in. And the most important role for our leaders is guaranteeing our National defense.

Prof. Mead lays it out in detail, but the verdict is simple and clear — leftist liberalism is way past its expiration date. So say American voters; so says Dr. Mead; and so says Dr. TheBigHenry.

Barack Obama, Joe "BFD" Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Henry Waxman, and all the rest of the leftist liberals infesting our federal government need to retire to a warmer climate. Much warmer.
