New Agents of Intolerance
The left accuses the right of hatred, intolerance, and blind partisanship — then practices what it preaches against.
(Page 2 of 2)
First, a liberal blogger friend of mine confessed to me recently that he used to like and respect John McCain but he no longer does because McCain doesn’t still hate George Bush for the ugliness of the South Carolina primary in 2000.
Second, a liberal loved one insisted in my very kitchen that Howard Dean would have performed better against George Bush than did John Kerry had he won the Democrat nomination in 2004.
And third, an animated film called Ice Age II provides a more reasonable treatment of “global warming” than the film featuring a former Vice President of the United States giving lectures on the subject.
It is then that I conclude I am fine; perfectly sane. But the other side is howling mad. And the thought of them running this country after 2006 makes my bowels clench.
