Some Days, You Just HAVE to Laugh

You know, some days partisanship and inability to face reality is sad. Other days it is just laugh-out-loud funny. Consider this screed from a writer as SFGate.Com, who in person must be one of those people who starts screaming about his pet peeve and keeps it up until everyone else has left the room.

No matter that Bush's very actions, his ugly little war, his very poisonous foreign policy that has so violently destabilized the Middle East, no matter that this is what has, in fact, amplified the terror threat a hundredfold and made the U.S. more detested than ever. Ahh, irony. It's what's for dinner. And now, your reward. You get to be as misrepresented, as tossed aside, as openly ignored as the rest of us. Isn't politics fun? We are all suckers, all losers in this election. Are you a Democrat? Republican? Doesn't matter. The line is no longer liberal/conservative. It is no longer tax 'n' spend versus cut 'n' deficit, Toyota Prius versus Ford Expedition, happy godless heathen sodomite versus Mel Gibson. It is now ultrawealthy, power-hungry Bushite CEO versus, well, the rest. Do you see? News flash to conservatives: Bush just pretended to care about you, because he had to, because Karl Rove told him to, because he needed your fear and your blind faith to win another term.

Loyal Mod-Blog readers will remember that both Ward and I endorsed George W. Bush after his convention with clear reasons, and a logical argument. And let me tell you that neither of us regret either the endorsement or our votes on election day. Bush was the better man, and remains so today as the terrorist roach motel that was Fallujah is slowly being liberated, as Iraq itself was so recently. I wonder if this writer is shown to be wrong in his predictions, he will admit it. Unlikely. It appears that he can't see over his own prejudices to honestly evaluate the world.



Then again, I am sure he'd say the same thing about me. Ain't Free Speech grand?
