#1 "Partisanship would have been the one casualty the American people would have accepted following 9/11, but it remains the one thing the president refuses to give up," Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, chairman of the Democratic effort to win control of the House, said after the president's speech.

Honestly . . . is there anything I could say that could put it better than the way the author did? No matter what witty remark I make on the topic of irony, or stupidity, or doublethink, it won't top what was said there.

#2 I'm all for partisanship. Lib Moonbats are an enemy, that if given the chance, would destroy my very way of life. I'm about as partisan about that as you can get.

Isn't that what he does every night?

#5 "I'm all for partisanship. Lib Moonbats are an enemy, that if given the chance, would destroy my very way of life. I'm about as partisan about that as you can get."

Exactly.

I have a now ex-friend leftist who in a heated discussion asked me why those of us from the center to the right are so obstinate and fight so hard for our principles, and are so fearful of him and his fellow travellers. I explained to him that we had nowhere to go if we couldn't live our life here in America, and his crowd were literally trying to legislate or litigate everyone like me out of existence.

He replied that he just wanted to live in a society that matched his ideals. I pointed out to him that a) nearly all of what he wanted to do he could right here, if in a private rather than government fashion and b) there already was an entire continent - Europe - where he could live EXACTLY the way he wanted to, and it would be an easy task to simply move there and let me live like a real American here. I would have no objections and I don't mind having lots of countries with systems which allow people to vote with their feet, moving to a place that suits them. I'm not threatened by this, as long as said countries do not pose a threat to my life. And I certainly recognize that societies like Europe's - which is identical to what our nation would be if the Dems got their way on most issues - are no threat to a society like ours in the economic realm.

Then I pointed out that folks like me do NOT have a similar option, and that victory of his crowd would result in a sort of philosophical genocide of true-thread American culture.

I told him that he did NOT in fact simply want to live "his way." What his crowd wants is for there to be NO place on the planet where the descendant memes of the American Revolution hold sway, and wipe my 'evil' way of life out, permanently. They want to FORCE everyone on the planet to live in a society like France or Scandinavia, and make things like firearm freedom and free market capitalism outlaw activities.

He spluttered an angry reply which was largely an accusation that neanderthals like myself are the cause of all the problems in the world, which would be perfect if we'd only see and do things his way, and like, racism and sexism and poverty, 'n' stuff.

Like I said, ex-friend.

So yeah, those of us in the center and on the right are tolerant, in the truest sense, with you if you want to be a vegan, or an evangelical atheist who continuously spouts contempt for Christians, or piss all YOUR money (not mine taken in the form of taxes) away giving it to people who don't deserve it, or have sex with someone of whichever gender, or write articles about how much you hate capitalism and distrust business, or be a ridiculous pacifist in your day to day living, or decide you'll never own a gun. Not always agreeing, perhaps, but tolerant.

The left, on the otherhand, treats anyone who deviates even slightly from their big government/collectivist/celebrate moral entropy/extreme pacifism agenda as having committed mortal sin. (See Joe Lieberman.) They would grin as they outlawed then utterly wiped out much of what is traditionally American and then go home and maturbate to the thought what they had done that evening. "Live and let live" hasn't been part of their way for decades. They figure they have an absolute right to demonize and tax and regulate us, and we have no rights other than to always be polite, roll over and let them take our guns and tax us to death.

If the Repubs were simply to point out the FACT that the LLL's largely want everyone in the America to live just like the extinction-bound EUros do now, they'll croak the Dems forever. It can't be that hard to get that point across.
