“What cosmic evil allows psychosis to be in power?”

What? Have you and I got a babysitter now? A “cosmic” one no less?

THEY get themselves into authority and then they begin to pervert definitions and meanings to serve themselves—NOT America, NOT the Constitution—themselves. We have been working our day jobs and looking the other way for at least 45 years now.

[Mrs.FuzzyG]

Amen, Amen!!

“Have you and I got a babysitter now?”

Please explain.

Thank you.

If I had to define a staring point for the modern day liberal hate was when they lost the house and senate in 1994. Many totally went insane at this point including the now out of power representatives. 40 years of uninturrupted power will do that.

I think it was more of the 2000 election with the "pregnant chads" and so on where it really started. I remember "Move On" started at that time. Still, in reality, it started with the progressives just prior to World War I, then it got a kick in the 1960's with welfare and "free love," then the 1994 loss, a huge kick in 2000 and 2004 and looks what we have now.

The hatred runs so deep now. Tell you the truth, I don't consider these rabid haters Americans anymore even thought most were born here.

Xian @ #3,,

Here you go.

I found this list at JOM.

Why don’t people who are so intent on blaming things politicians have said for this tragedy ever mention rhetoric from Democrats and liberals including:

President Obama:

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia last night. “Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

And “I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.”

Or John Kerry who said on the Bill Maher show: “I could have gone to 1600 Pennsylvania and killed the real bird with one stone.”

Or Howard Dean “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for…”

and: “This is a struggle between good and evil and we’re the good?”

and “we need to remember that the enemy here is George Bush, not each other.”

Or Senator Chuck Schumer who called a flight attendant a “bitch.”

Or the Florida Democrats who ran an ad calling for the assassination of Donald Rumsfeld

Or New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi who called for Senator Schumer to “put a bullet between the president’s eyes?”

Or Jonathan Chait who said “I hate President George W. Bush.”

Or singer Rickie Lee Jones who aid of President Bush “You’re an ignorant, low-class, opportunistic man, both personally and politically, who does everything for political gain and nothing for the wellbeing of the people, and you should not be in office, and the kind of fascism you’re perpetrating on our country we don’t want, and you’re out. We’re done with you. Ffffhgggmm.”

And when asked if she would be willing to take Bush out for the benefit of democracy? “If I say that, I might get arrested when I go back. And I have to go home.” She’s thinking it out carefully. “I guess the question is, would I kill anyone? And the answer is, no. But would I feel sorry if someone killed him? No, I wouldn’t. It would depend on who killed him, I guess.”

Or “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn” where they superimposed the words “Snipers Wanted” over an image of Bush delivering his acceptance speech at the Republican convention.

Or Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams who said she could kill President Bush?

Or Randi Rhodes who joked about killing the President?

Or Reverend Wright who called Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Condoskeeza [sic] Rice.

Or England’s Charlie Brooker who wrote: “On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr – where are you now that we need you?”

“Please explain.”

What evil is “allowed” to do is allowed by you and me, NOT any “cosmic force”.

[bayouranger]

They’re idiots, albeit dangerous idiots.

I also believe that good and God, many times, works from with us and by our deeds. It is up to us to carry on the fight.

I like these words by Dylan Thomas:

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I know Dylan Thomas’ poem is seen to be about old age, but it is also a metaphor for keeping up the good fight.

Thanks for your kind affirmation/prayer of agreement.

Thank you.

“Please explain further.”

Ok. You stand by your computer and wait. Hold your breath while your at it.
