You have to hand it to moonbats — it isn't easy to spin the trouncing they received last week into a victory for progressives:
It was progressives who won the mid-term elections, particularly incumbents in a socialist-founded congressional caucus that emerged from last week's ballots virtually unscathed, boasted an article published by the George Soros-funded Institute for Policy Studies, a Marxist-oriented think-tank in Washington, D.C.
If progressives were reelected, it's only because they represent the safest of safe districts for Democrats: blighted zones from which constructive people interested in working for a living have escaped, or regions like Raul Grijalva's district in southern Arizona that have effectively been annexed by Mexico. Yet somehow Soros's henchmoonbats derive from the record-setting spanking Dems received a mandate to ram through Obama's hard left agenda:
"Progressives won in the 2010 mid-term elections," wrote Karen Dolan, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, or IPS, and director of the Cities for Progress and Cities for Peace projects based at the radical organization.
"The Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest caucus in the House Democratic Caucus at over 80 members, emerged virtually unscathed, losing only three members," she wrote, in the piece published on the IPS website.
In contrast, Blue Dogs were routed — precisely because they represent districts requiring some level of appeal to normal Americans.
Now this is starting to make sense:
"The veil of a happy Democratic governing majority is finally lifted. We didn't have it then; We don't have it now. But what we do have now is a more solidly progressive bunch of Dems in Congress and a president presumably less encumbered by the false illusion that playing nice will get him a date with the other team."
She went on to recommend that progressives "throw our support unabashedly behind the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and let's push Obama to finally do the right thing through as many Executive Orders as we can present to him."
In short, they are calling on Obama to openly disregard the will of the American people by circumventing Congress, in effect declaring himself dictator. It certainly wouldn't be inconsistent with the arrogance he displayed in his first two years, and it is the only way he will continue to advance his disastrous agenda if Republicans in Congress have any spine at all.
We'll know this is still America if he doesn't get away with it.
