Joe Romm, Sociopathic Denier of the History of Change - Leap Day Special: My Biggest Mistakes
Leap Day Special: My Biggest Mistakes
Loving's, comments: Yes, I'm shocked. Joe Romm is in exactly the sociopathic psychological denial on Historical fact, as the Deniers are on regarding the 'scientific' truth, fact. They side with the 1% of the scientists that hold the view they prefer, betting against the 99%, and their own eyes, children, and self-interest.
Joe is doing the same, and worse! 0% of historians would say that the President, top Leader... can pass climate legislation, win WWI, get rid of Mubarak, end Apartheid, get women the right to vote.... 0%. Only the people, standing with immense courage, until they win, can do those things.
Pathological denial. What a tragedy Joe.

90% chance they won't publish the comment. The Warm War Huffington Post "awaiting moderator approval" comment - You know, Romm is correct that Obama is central here if it was FDR that won WWII, Johnson that won Civil Rights, Lincoln and not the blood of 10's of thousands that freed the slaves, some young leader in Egypt that won the Arab Spring.... But it wasn't FDR, it wasn't Johnson, it wasn't Lincoln, some Egyptian leader....
I guess to avoid personal responsibility for himself and his fawning leftie following, Joe, a stunning science blogger by the way, indispensable, is Religious about point the finger of blame at everyone and everyone, especially his whipping boy Obama, everyone, except who MLK Jr, or Gandhi, or Mandela, or the Egyptian revolutionaries pointed their finger of blame at - #1. At themselves, #2. At we-the-citizens. 'Give me someone of courage to fight alongside, any day. Don't give me any lip-service liberals,' to paraphrase Gandhi. 'My problem is not the violent racists. My problem is the 'good people' who will not stand and stay standing till they've won.' MLK Jr paraphrase.
Time's almost up folks on the left, Joe. Is your ultimate allegiance to your own outrage, tantrums, self-righteousness, comfort, position, following..., or to your kids and grandkids? I think it is the latter, deep inside you. I think there is goodness in you, courage. But I'm guessing. Time to put up, or....
