When will a half-bread Muslin get a break?

She has probably been doing so for the last 8 years. Under her world view, the Republican control of the Bush Years was a happy, good, safe time to be an American. Now, new information is intruding on her happy world: a man who looks different from her and has strange, new ideas is all of a sudden president. When we receive information that contradicts our world view and we are unable to adjust our world view to account for the new information, we tend to become angry.

Obama told Republican lawmakers in Congress that "you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done." How is this a challenge of their 'right' to listen to a blindsided republican 'political' commentator? All he's saying is that lawmaking needs to fully take into account every one, that is not just right wing agendas and the whims of one person/man behind the curtain.
Patrick:
Yeah, but if you quote things out of context, you can make somebody say whatever you want them to. Rather like when somebody chopped up a bunch of Bush speeches and turned the parts into a very mindfucky version of U2's "Sunday, Bloody Sunday".

exactly.
that kind of thing is totally unacceptable to people like her.
Tom:
Even without context, 'just' is near removable and shows the intention exactly.
