His atrociousness is only blunted by its banality. He blathers on about Obama’s war on religion and claims that his administration has deliberated about imposing secularism on Americans (by which he means atheism and not its proper sense of separating civic and sacred institutions). Then he accuses Obama of willfully mischaracterizing R-Money’s positions to distract from talking about his administration’s record. Of course, Obama talks about his record all the time. And R-Money doesn’t ever specify when and where Obama has discussed and promoted his agenda to impose secularity on Americans as part of his war on religion, nor does he specify how any of Obama’s specific critiques of GOP policies and positions are erroneous.
It’s an old old old game. But that doesn’t make it less despicable. And the press is so cowed by the constant repetition of the dogma of their Democratic bias they don’t do their job, which is demanding that he prove his claims with any specificity. And when they do, they are accused of being partisan and placed in false equivalence with Hannity and Limbaugh and O’Reilly.
It’s gonna be a long long long 9 months.
This is what I want:
Every time he utters the phrase “war on religion” I want someone to ask him where specifically he sees this being waged. And I want someone to demand that he explain how he differentiates between a civil conflict of perspectives with this or that religious institution and a violent war that seeks to undermine that institution and repress its adherents. If it’s an orchestrated agenda, where and when does he believe this orchestration is taking place?
Every time he accuses Obama of mischaracterizing his positions, he should be called upon to demonstrate a specific.
Obama, for his part, should start quoting and citing Ryan’s draconian and incompetent budget directly. Page numbers and paragraphs. And he should demand that R-Money explain how it can or should be read differently.
Ryan seems like a sincere guy. But when he responds to Obama’s mathematical claims regarding his budget as “surreal,” the press needs to push him to explain his math. Otherwise, are we to believe that the GOP’s young, self-appointed budget guru considers mathematics itself surreal?
