One thing that is so confusing to me right now is how conservative were GLEEFUL that the US didn't get the bid to host the olympics. Now, I don't really give a rats ass about sports. But there is an economic boost and a patriotic surge that goes with this honor. How can you be against it?

Note this quote and it's logic:
"To be clear, I root for America, therefore I root against Barack Obama. "
Now, I agree, I definitely did not like George Bush. I did not like that we started a war in country that was no threat to us, while simultaneously trying to fight a war against a country that *did* attack us.
Not wanting war does not mean not supporting troops. That's something conservatives can't every seem to understand.
Further more:
Opposition to war means: I don't want troops or innocent civilians to have their lives disrupted, harmed or ended.
Opposition to US getting Olympics or the economy improving means: I don't want my country to have the economic prestige and honor of hosting a peaceful international event. I want my fellow Americans to continue to be unemployed, lose their housing and struggle to get food in food pantries.
Seriously?

I agree that is sucks for conservatives to be gleeful that we didn't get the Olympics in order to hurt Obama, but I am glad we didn't get the Olympics because I was pretty sure it was actually going to hurt Chicago, financially, and displace a lot of poor people.
Although I might have gotten an El line to my house. Ah well, c'est la vie.
