How it's done

That "pot boiling" that Glenn Beck spoke of? TexasFred has all four burners set on High. Responding to the story that Eric Cantor compared Obama to Putin:

Well how do you like that? A GOP House member has the guts to stand up and say that life in America under Barack Hussein Obama is comparable to life in Russia under Vladamir Putin. I wonder who in the hell he’s trying to impress with that little tidbit?

Long before the nominations process was in high gear, long before the DNC anointed Barack Hussein Obama and the liberal world declared him to be *The One*, long before the GOP lost it’s way and threw up a sacrificial offering to *The One*, CONSERVATIVE bloggers and commentators were preaching long and loud, Obama WILL be the ruination of America.

But did the nation listen? NO, they didn’t. Did the Conservatives of this nation challenge the GOP and their status quo bullshit? Some did, not nearly enough, but some did, some fell into lockstep with the GOP, and voted the McCain/Palin ticket like dedicated little Pubbies.

Seriously, one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. But it gets better:

The GOP ran one of the weakest candidates imaginable against one of the most charismatic hucksters to come down the line in a very long time. We were ignored, we were told ‘It can’t be done’, we were told that if we didn’t ALL vote for McCain, we’d surely end up with Obama. The final vote tally clearly indicates, Obama was going to win this one even if ALL the folks that voted 3rd party had voted GOP.

Obama was unstoppable. The angry old man and Northwoods Barbie never had a chance. Obama is what we have, and now, even some of the Dems are standing back, shaking their heads and asking themselves, ‘Oh damn, what have WE done?’.

We tried to tell you America. No one really listened. No one really thought that Barack Hussein Obama was actually going to be this bad. No one believed that Obama would show so many indications of his true religious allegiance so soon, his love of Islam, and his desire to placate the Muslims of this world.

We tried to tell you America.

But did America listen? NOOOO! Gee, I wonder why not? According to TFred, it's because America was so damn busy calling him and his fellow patriots bad names:

They called us NEOCONS, they called us racists, they called us NAZIs, hell, they called us a lot worse than that, and they told us how much good *The One* was going to do for America.

This stuff really is World O' Crap-league material. But wait till you see what comes up in the comments:

How’s about we skip all the TEA Parties and go straight to the Revolution?

It’ll save time, and a few bucks – something that libs don’t seem to understand, so will catch them off guard…

OHRAAA! When do we go?
Fred,
I don’t remember if it was you or Steve over at MRPE that called it, but one of you sure as hell got it right

It only took one act of violence to “Prove” the we right wingers are a domestic terrorist threat.
What a load of crap. How many violent attacks by islamic terrorists does it take to get them to see that threat?
I am so disgusted with this situation and the American people that brought it down upon us.
When are we going to say “Enough” and actually become that threat to their New World Order?
Locked and loaded and ready to go,
Semper Fi

And there you have it.
