Mr. President, you are paranoid

In private fund raisers, out of the media glare, you are claiming that only conservatives are opposing you, and further, that this opposition is entirely from prejudice because of your skin color. Otherwise, everyone would agree with you and you would have your way on every issue.

Not only are you totally wrong, Mr. President, you are totally paranoid.

Conservatives are fighting you in the air, on the beaches, and in the trenches, because, deep down, you are a socialist. You wish to recast American personal liberty and free economic capitalism, into the form of an European-style social democracy. That is, the direction of societal behavior and business activity goes where the government tells them to. You think that you know better, and that, by golly, for their own good, I will impose proper behavior upon them, and they will thank me later when they see how good things have become. Conservatives wish to hold destiny in their own hands, not at the behest of a policy czar that you have personally appointed.

The above is what is called an ‘ad hominem’ attack, that is, attacking the character and integrity of someone rather than their actions and beliefs. How does it feel, Mr. President??
