The Median Sib

I Wish That . . .

1.  I had a DELICIOUS no-sugar homemade ice cream recipe.

2.  I had a DELICIOUS low-fat homemade ice cream recipe.

3.  if I can’t find the recipes mentioned in #1 and #2 above that I hadn’t promised to make no-sugar and low-fat ice cream for our church’s ice cream social on Sunday.

4. all terrorists would become pacifists immediatel.y

5. if all terrorists can’t become immediate pacifists then that they’d all evaporate in thin air immediately

6. everyone would learn to respect people from other countries and cultures and religions

7. I weighed a lot less than I do.

8. I had more self-discipline.

9. RT’s and my new house was already built.

10.  my computer was faster.

11.  I could think on my feet better.

12.  I could talk with my father again.

13.  RT wasn’t out of town

The news is depressing.  I have tried and tried, but I cannot understand the Democratic (i.e. Progressive) way of thinking.  There was a letter to the editor in Sunday’s Tennessean from someone who very seriously wrote that George Bush is no better than the terrorists.  How can people truly believe that?  What kind of denial and warped convoluted thinking are necessary to come up with such absurd thinking? 

Once again, Dr. Sanity has expressed it much clearer than I could in a post she titled “Denial, Democrats, and the League of Extraordinary Murderers”:

For me the choice is clear. I will follow whoever is willing to unflinching face the league and fight it, however ineptly; because the alternative plan proposed by the Democrats as they run back across that bridge into the 20th century, holds only an absolute certainty of defeat.

Rather than return to the false promises of safety, peace, brotherhood and utopia that are all jumbled together in the bubble of Democratic denial, I choose to face the reality of Islamofascism and the hatred that motivates it, just as an earlier generation faced the genocidal and fanatical reality of national socialism.

Only this time around in history, I am hoping the bubble of denial can be burst sooner, rather than later; for the sake of the millions of lives that will be forfeit to the rabid barbarity of this generation’s league of extrordinary murderers.

Oh, and by the way, I think the only strategy to burst that Democratic bubble of denial is for the Democrats to lose elections. Lots of elections. Because that appears to be the only reality they are capable of understanding.

It’s sad - and frightening - when people believe the things that the letter to the editor writer wrote.  Rational thinking is not a part of their repertoire.  However, it also shows the immensity of the evil we face when otherwise good people let their fear and partisan affiliation make them say and do things that will ultimately be their own undoing.
