My show-business friend writes this evening:
This irrational and virulent hatred radiates from elected officials to all those who elected them. I saw a T-shirt in a Palm Springs shop that said, "So many right-wing Christians, so few lions." Hilarious, n'est-ce pas? Nothing funnier than religious believers being ripped to shreds by wild animals in front of cheering pagans.
I'm intrigued by the liberal furor over Karl Rove's remark about the difference in reactions to 9/11. As my old grandfather used to say, "You throw a stone into a pack of dogs and the one that barks the loudest is the one you hit."
Everything Rove said is absolutely true. I entertained at a 50th anniversary party for a well-known feminist leader about 10 days after 9/11. Much of the liberal elite of the Twin Cities was present. I was wearing a little flag pin that elicited considerable mockery. In a post-performance conversation with 3 prominent DFL activists, they all agreed that 1) America had it coming 2) much of the rest of the world cheered the attacks and that was not a bad thing; 3) the attack was purely a "criminal" matter that required the issuing of indictments, but surely not a war, and finally and most horrifically, a direct quote, "At least we got rid of Barbara Olson."
Like racists who feel free to use the "N" word among themselves, these people felt free to be so frank and unguarded because they absolutely assumed that I shared their worldview. I was so upset I couldn't even EAT, and anyone who knows me knows how serious THAT was. I told them I disagreed completely and left. That was the final straw launching me from my lifelong stint as a Democrat to the Republican party.

I find it sad that anyone would think we "deserved" it...but it's true.
Opinions anyone?
So many traitors. So few lamp posts.
When it all comes down, my friends, they'll get the rope. They hate America and everything it represents.
But when the photos came out showing a dirty, ragged John Walker Lindh, she was quite teary-eyed. "Poor guy."

Rove talked about liberals reaction. I thought all these people complaining about it are supposed to be "progressives" now??
Its almost like they are saying, "how dare Rove remind the nation how ineffectual we are".
Whenever I hear some leftist whining that he/she has had their patriotism impugned, it always makes me want to laugh. The term "liberal patriot" is an oxymoron: no such creature exists.
They are progressives; they grow progressively shrill, with each passing day.
The real kicker is that the left has such a disdain for patriotism in the first place.
Its almost like they are saying, "how dare Rove remind the nation how ineffectual we are".
That's exactly right, and that's why they're so furious. The party of "no" is also the party of "do nothing."
when you have used all of the lamp posts, I am sure that our soldiers in training for bayonet practice. Assuming the Army still teaches it.

oops :-) ; should read:
I am sure our soldiers in training could use them for bayonet practice.
Bad! Bad! Keyboard!
Their traitorous hate speech is coming back to bite them
Couldn't agree more!
Pretty sad isn't it?
If you find this hard to believe, you're naive.
There are many enemies of America right here at home, and they're not all Muslims.
Thank you for posting it. I hope it's on every conservative blog and every conservative talk show for the next week. I also hope it's put into a format that will allow it to be easily e-mailed from each conservative to five liberals friends/acquaintances.
Yes.
Wasn't it a Texan that coined the phrase: "A lotta of folks need killin"?
