How Fake Outrage Fuels the Corrupt Center Left

Google: "CNN Obama most liberal senator last year".

I don't know how to link on a phone.

 

That's alright, I saw the link. Is that really the claim you want to make though? The study was done in 2007. That was the primary year. Of course he's going to become more extreme then, he's trying to appeal to the base.

"In 1995, HUD (The Dept. of Housing and Urban Development) authorized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase mortgage-backed securities that included subprime and other risky CRA home loans. Since Fannie and Freddie are government sponsored enterprises (GSEs), this unprecedented move was widely interpreted by banks and Wall Street as implied government backing of subprime mortgages. Though hardly noticed at the time, this development effectively shifted the liability for loan defaults from lenders to taxpayers. By relieving lenders of financial risk for loan defaults, it strongly encouraged them to give more loans to unqualified applicants. As if all that weren't bad enough, it also started the whole secondary market for subprime mortgages, which ended with the massive failures and subsequent bailouts of financial giants such as AIG and Citigroup. Had Clinton not started this bogus "investment" policy back in 1995, the massive TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) bailouts in 2008 would have been completely unnecessary".

We truly have to thank former president William Jefferson Clinton (42) and his appointee Andrew Cuomo for the debacle that occurred in 2008. Formally known as the Recession that was exacerbated and turned into a national depression by former president Barack Hussein Obama II (44).

You seem to mis-understand the situation. I, like Bernie, am not a Democrat because they are not liberal enough for my liking. Bernie was clearly a long shot and only got as far as he did because people like me registered as Democrats just long enough to vote for Bernie in the primary. He is not a Democrat and it is not unreasonable to expect the core of the Democratic Party to readily accept him as if he were. That he was able to get some of his ideas into the Democratic Party platform was as much as could be expected from the point of view of liberals like me.

Aren’t conservatives always going on about how liberals are all driven by emotions while conservatives are all logical? Yet is it not you who is making the emotional plea? You see as a liberal of the freethinker variety I know that I represent a group of maybe 20% of the population. However, as a result of our greater creativity and intellect we have been the ones moving society forward.

As an example; Republicans used to be against health care reform. Then we got some in the form of ObamaCare. Republicans cried to repeal it. Now that the time is at hand it seems there is much they like about it. They are talking about replacing it with much of its more popular features. Trump and crew may roll it back a bit but future presidents will push it further still. Bit by bit the liberal agenda gains footholds and grows.

Liberals take two steps forward and conservatives drag us one step backwards. That is the political history of progress.
