If there's anything a conservative can't stand, it's a shakeup in the social order. As I've mentioned before, the fact of a black man in the White House must feel like the end of the world to some of them. It's no wonder that the opposition has done all in its power to bring about the failure of the Obama administration. If they can prove that it was a mistake to elect a black man president, perhaps we won't be foolish enough to try that trick again!
Of course, today's conservatives not only want to impede any progress that might be made today, they seek to undo things that happened a long time ago: civil rights legislation, the New Deal, the north's victory in the Civil War. In their fantasies, someday it will be proven that the Earth is 6,000 years old, and that the sun revolves around it.
In any case, now that the Republicans have regained control of the House of Representatives, men like Lamar Smith now have subpoena power, and have promised to pester the Executive Branch for the next two years, at least. Again, in their fantasies, they would love to impeach Barack Obama. For what, I don't know, but they've been dying for revenge since the Nixon resignation.
It is my most fervent wish that Barack Obama be reelected in 2012.
