I’ve been meaning to write this post for quite
some time, but now is as good a time as any. For the past few months, I
(and a fellow liberal traitor) have been “debating” a few rightists on
a whole variety of issues. Whether is it nonsense like Rezko or Wright
or whatever other manufactured fantasy reason to point out (with
escalating rhetoric that only a fifth grader on the playground would be
impressed with) why liberal traitors with San Francisco values love
terrorists, don’t want to “win” in Iraq and hate America, it always
comes down to a few points.

• Conservatives rule, liberals are teh suck;
• Everything that went wrong with respect to everything over the past
  8 years is because of “Clinton and the coward liberal Democrats” making
  it harder for America to be the greatest country in the world;
• Facts provided and documentation of actual events are either
  ignored or compared to something that the Democrats or specifically
  Bill Clinton or “the Jew hating” Jimmy Carter did - but never actually
  addressed or even acknowledged; and
• Conservatives rule, liberals are teh suck, only this time with
  insults, strawmen, profanity and my favorite, “I’m done with you”.

This isn’t the first time that I have been down this road. But with the
events of this week (and quite possibly with the fact that I am now
reading our own Jeffrey Feldman’s new book, Outright Barbarous,
coupled with some stunningly delusional talk from my conservative
“debate partner” about Gates only saying we should negotiate with Iran
because he is afraid of the Democrats being pussies (yes, those are the
exact words), it is time to call bullshit on this in the most demeaning
and degrading way.

The cries of Democrats being weak or “appeasers” is laughable when you consider those brave republicans who, “when danger reared its ugly head, they bravely turned their tail and fled” and makes you wonder how little sex they were getting when they were in college.

The outlandish and so over the top that it surpassed embarrassing and went straight to pathetic titles of books like Liberal Fascism, Soulless, Godless
or talk about “invading their countries and converting them to
Christianity” to not caring if al Qaeda were to bomb San Francisco or
that the New York Times building should be blown up or that we will
roll over one night and crush Canada or whatever “investigation” is
done to intimidate the lives of pre-teens because they dare to talk
about how SCHIP saved their lives - despite being something that may
actually spurn terrorist acts against our country or citizens - makes
you wonder just how few friends these people had growing up.

Joking about shooting the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee
or “musing” that someone should poison a Supreme Court Justice (how
very funny..) or blaming 9/11 on the “liberals and the gays” is as
callous as it is indicative of “something not being right” about you.
Were you that shunned for much of your childhood that you need to call
attention to yourself in any way possible?

Calling me a traitorous selfish idiot because I asked just what
“winning” in Iraq would be when told that I don’t want us to “win” in
Iraq or that I want America to lose or that Obama hates America but
McCain loves America or conveniently ignoring facts or votes or actual
events or polls or GAO reports all for a “you have Bush derangement
syndrome and are clearly in need of help” is probably the (1) least
relevant and (2) mind blowingly childish response that I could ever
conjure up and makes me wonder if there is any semblance of logic,
reason or the ability to interact socially. Right wing bloggers/101st
Fighting Keyboardists being in favor of nothing less than constant
military force and intimidation but only when it is by other people’s
children yet the only Army they will ever see is the army of strawmen
they build is the very definition of cowardly and weak.

But with all of that, the still-clinging to an irrational hatred for
all things that aren’t either a violent show of “don’t-fuck-with-me
might” (small penis syndrome, perhaps?) and an inability to communicate
on any level that consists of anything more than insults, threats is
really sad.

Not sad in the traditional definition, of course. Sad and in pathetic.
And cowardly. And deserving of nothing short of complete and utter
ridicule. Your tough talk and fake bravado shows just how low and
insignificant you really are. And how much you hate yourself.

Your time is coming to a close - we’ve wised up to your nonsense. The
party’s over. No more “war on Christmas”. No more “if Democrats get
elected, we will get hit and hit hard”. No more “bring ‘em on”.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out on your way back to the rock you slithered out from under.
