Rachel Maddow v. Joe Scarborough: A Template
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
I've inadvertently discovered the template for nearly every discussion between Rachel Maddow and Joe Scarborough about any issue:
Maddow: This [insert issue here] is stupid. We need to change it.
Scarborough: This is the way it is.
Maddow: I understand this is the way it is. It's stupid. We should change it to [insert amendment to issue here].
Scarborough: This is the way it is. If you were as smart and experienced as I am, you would know this is the way it is.

That's exactly right. Progressives are for change and the Regressives are for maintaining the status quo. Change scares them. Their argument is always the same. "This is how it is. This is how it was for my father and for his father before him. This is how it was for me and this is how it will be for you. If you don't like it move to Canada."
