Open Left

The shallow left...

Poor old Timberman assumes that criticism of his ludicrous post can only mean the critic misunderstood him, and "mis-underestimated" his cleverness.

Low- and no-brow left-wing "thinkers" can't comprehend why the Republican Party hasn't been obliterated by their brilliance, which mainly consists of repeating a small set of idées reçues among themselves, and endlessly waiting for applause from the little people whom they claim to represent.

But the little people constantly reject the bogus, self-congratulatory wisdom of the contemporary left in favor of no ideas whatsoever, if that's the choice, and the contemporary left responds by applauding themselves even more furiously than before.

Obama stands in the same relation to Roosevelt as the left-wing blogosphere compared to the deeply engaged leftist criticsm of the Thirties, and it's only safe for Obama to constantly betray the interests of ordinary citizens because he knows that their defenders from the first Great Depression have been replaced by shallow, self-promoting clowns.
