Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin appears increasingly hopeful that the leader of the United States of America will fail. Nothing like taking pride in our great nation. Apparently, for many conservatives, the U.S. is only a great nation if we have a Republican president. Apparently for a growing number of conservatives, it is only anti-American to criticize our leader if the leader is a Republican (other than that it is just fine to criticize the leader of our nation).
MALKIN: When the President proposes things like trillion dollar budgets that have earmarks that he claims do not exist, yes, I hope that fails.When he proposes the same kind of wealth re-distributionist policies that had appalled me under the Bush administration, yes, I hope they fail.
Malkin must have been asleep at the wheel when former president George W. Bush and the Republican Congress were driving us into war and running up deficits. Now, since we have a new blackpresident, Malkin and other Republicans are worried about deficits and spending. It makes you wonder what the big change is and whether or not it is just as simple as one person being affiliated with the party that begins with “D” and the other being affiliated with the party that begins with “R” … or maybe there is something else (perhaps a bit more sinister) driving the hypocrisy.
