I don't know why I continually submit myself to the barrage of vile rhetoric on display at blog site like the DailyKos? I guess I just love to hear the unceasing vitriol of how conservatives are close-minded, war-mongering, insensitive, uncaring, gun loving, Nazis. How we have destroyed this country with our religious beliefs, civil liberties with our War on Terrorism, and the environment with our gas guzzling SUV's. I guess we conservatives are just "Bad" people. Think I go hang me head and cry.
I have always contended that its not a matter of close mindedness that causes my opposition to the liberal views, its the fact that I have made up my mind. A stance alien to the relativistic minds of the left. To them all options must remain open, even ones that have never worked or will ever work. And its that component of the liberal mind that frightens me the most. Their naivety.
Barrack Obama and his insightful comments toward Pakistan for example. I'm sure that he factored in the anti-America factions he has incited against Pervez Musharraf who's government is already in a tenuous position. Is this the type of foreign policy genius that we need running the country? Hollywood liberals seem to to think it is, given their support for Obama.
And speaking of Hollywood liberals, Sean Penn. Penn is visiting Hugo Chavez on a journalistic mission. What exactly does a high school dropout know about journalism? He's a fairly decent actor and should stick to that. These adolescent displays of misuse of his celebrity only confirm his overt hatred of President Bush. A hatred that has become a mental disease in his case. Visiting with a vocal anti-American dictator like Chavez only marginalizes his opinions.
And opinions on Daily Kos are rampant. Anti-Semitic, Anti-military, and Anti-America are common themes. Yet every major Democratic candidate felt compelled to attend this yearly convention. Some of the statements made by them would never be uttered outside this progressive forum, especially Hillary Clinton's. I can't see how you can make statements to one group of your supporters that wouldn't dare speak to others. But that is the liberal mind, everything said is relative. In my opinion that is just plain wrong.
