A Most Excellent Examination of the PUMA Mind

is put forth by Steve in KC at No Quarter.

To summarize by excerpting two of the more revealing paragraphs:

We all agree that there is much to despise about Obama, and a whole different set of things to despise about the people who helped get him elected. We all know what a liar he is, how lazy he is, how ill-equipped for the job he is, and how there are many things about his secret life that may legally disqualify him from being president, or should land him in prison. We agree on 98% of those things we hate about him.

But don’t expect me, or many others here, to share (the) recently-acquired aversion to the Clintons, or your recent (apparent) conversion to Republican conservatism. We have much we agree on, and we all are entitled to our opinions, but many of us here still support Hillary Clinton and think highly of her and her husband.

But really....go over and read the whole essay. It is one of the better examinations of the thought process that lurks behind PUMA paws.

Bitter Clingers Do Vote (Psssttt.... Some of us are atheists, who don't even own guns.)

Anglachel NAILS IT about us "bitter clingers."

From the link:

But the Stevensonians have reified the concept of racism into a demographic - the bitter white working class - and have identified that group as the traitors to the good and the just, the filthy apes who once were true to the party but followed the siren call of Reagan racism and now delight in their infamy. The proof of this betrayal is that they voted for another Bubba when given a chance, someone all the Very Serious People know was trying to rise out of his place. The wretched, bitter Bunkers, clinging to guns and God, they are doing The Precious in. Never mind, as per Bartel and Krugman, that the working class whites were the least likely to defect from the Democratic party and were the first to return when offered something material.

By "Stevensonians" I assume Anglachel is referring to the Obamacrats. As a sort of "new Stevensonian." Because boy does that description fit them. (They do insult us mid-westerners with relish.)

But I've got news for the Stevensonian Obamacrats....

"Bitter Clingers" vote! Every year. (Unlike their fly-by-night "Obama coalition.")

And we're fightin' mad.

And... well...

Well, heckie darn, some of us are atheists who don't even own guns.
