You mean belief in accountability? Lock me up and call me bloodthirsty because yes, that is what I want.

I was as happy when Obama was elected as anyone but I always knew (and said out loud) that, in the end, he would disappoint me. I have to admit though, that even I am shocked at how hard and fast that end has come.

It only reinforces my certainty that, for all of the talk (aka, distraction) about liberal conspiracies in American media and education, that liberalism (progressivism) has been clearly disabused of any semblance of a legitimate stance in American politics and society.

Congratulations conservatives, you won. You can put down your guns and your teabags and go on home. Your precious sensibilities and traditions are still safe and sound in Washington.
