GKS, if you honestly fail to understand what D-Dad was takling about, then you should have stayed home on Election Day.
Really.
Do you really not understand why people around the world who do not have America's best interests at heart would be "quite ecstatic" over the election of a weak, inexperienced, and radical President who has arguably taken the Anti-American position on almost every issue he has bothered to take any position on over the course of his career?
(Remember, the President does not vote "present"...)
Of COURSE the enemies of America are ecstatic!
And, yes, America has some, whether you personally recognize them as such or not.
You guys have absolutely no idea what you have done...
--snip--
The real enemies are people like Geoffrey, D. Trabue, and Feodor, who gleefully embrace the coming totalitarian state and condescendly sneer at us common people for attempting to warn them.
When America falls, it will come from within, and these pseudo-intellectuals are hastening our demise.

Absolutely astounding how Geoff and co. can spin facts 180 degrees.
The first of the above three was from tugboatcapn. The other two are from our old friend, Mark.
Even more than shooting fish in a barrel, it's like shooting at a barn wall from the inside. Not only is it impossible to miss, there are several to pick from.

I keep wishing there were a way to get this sort of ranting and raving a broader audience. Nothing would insure even greater Democratic gains in 2010 than for people to read stuff by these guys.
Perhaps a sitcom, written entirely by these folk (but without letting them know, so as to not throw off the genuine nature of their rants)?
You know, with a laugh track and all? The script would be just as we see there, but we'd have people meeting in a house having these conversations...
Crazy guy 1: OBAMA'S A SOCIALIST!!! HE WANTS TO RECREATE THE USSR RIGHT HERE IN THE US!!!
Geoff: Umm, you know, don't you, that Obama's not a socialist, but merely a slightly left-leaning capitalist?
[pause...]
Crazy guy 1: GEOFF'S A SOCIALIST!
[Laughter from laugh track]
Crazy guy 2: YEAH. GEOFF WANTS TO WORK WITH OBAMA TO DESTROY THE US!!! THEY EAT BABIES, TOO!!!
[drool coming off their mouths, More laughter...]
Are there common threads in the wingnut blogosphere?
Mark says he "clings to...my religion". Marshall lists religion as an interest and the Bible as a favorite book as does Al-Ozarka. Tugboat Capn' describes himself as a conservative Christian and the only post on Angry Ulysses' blog is about religion.
I bet if I did the research, I would discover that they all subscribe to similar varieties of Christianity which might best be described as fundamentalist. Is this a mere coincidence? What percentage of those who hold idiotic political views have held idiotic religious views a lot longer?
I have no action plan here, but just want to know the enemy.
I wouldn't use the word "enemy" precisely because they do. They are nothing more than cranks. I do wish to keep them public as possible, but enemies? That is to make of them much more than they could ever be.
I do like the sitcom thing, Dan. Actually, it would be even easier. All one would have to do is what SNL did to Sarah Palin - use the actual words in front of a group of sane people, who would laugh their asses off. They could call us enemies of the state all they want, and never realize that they were being ridiculed, hoist by their own words.
Let's not forget that cranks can cause a great deal of harm. Tim McVeigh was a crank, I'm sure Hitler was considered a crank early in his career.
If we have crank factories in our midst, we should be aware of them.
It looks like you grabbed the mixed nuts jar off the shelf. They are all there, MA, Mark, Al.. It is amazing to see them all come together. Like transformers, they in far better form when they unite.
I like the sitcom idea. Sounds like something Jerry and George woulod come up with.
Fundamentalists of a feather ...
And those guys are fundamentalist-literalists in their politics as well as their religion.
I do like it when they voluntarily congregate in their own de-education camps.
"De-education camps" - snorting Diet Pepsi out my nose as I read this.
If I'm not careful they may just revoke my secret decoder ring that allows me access to their most important thoughts and plans and laments.
When the reeducation camps open, I'm hoping that Alan and I can teach the one these guys get sent to.

Not for all the tea in China. We send in Miss Manners first to get them civilized before I go within 100 miles of the place.
