This is from my dKos diary here , which is an accidental response to one by Ender here . The DLC pseudo-centrists claim we are leading the Democratic Party over a far left cliff and into the wilderness of political irrelevancy. They will suggest that this a conservative majority nation and that we need to get back to the politics that, among other things, got Bill Clinton elected. (link )

Here are five points in response to that claim.

Sigh. Once again the Petulant Playground President uses a tactic most of us abandoned long before we left elementary school: when caught redhanded, deny the obvious and blame the accuser. I can't think of a single elementary school teacher I had who would let him get away with this nonsense, especially if the other teachers were watching. Yet we have a whole cadre of bootlickers , liars and idiots who publicly pretend the emperor is not only fully clothed but also fully rational and principled.
