Hey Moderate Democrat
Hey Moderate Democrat,
Did you ever notice how when you fight with the Right you are even tempered, conciliatory, scrupulous, realistic, defensive and compromising? You give every benefit of the doubt, play fair, hold honor over victory, and let bygones be bygones. You bow to consensus, even if the consensus is fudged, are never too hasty, take the high road, and live to fight another day almost every single day. You are civil, patient, and keep a stiff upper lip.
Meanwhile, did you ever notice how against the Left, usually in your own party, you are dismissive, merciless, practical, nakedly political, marginalizing, willing to play hardball, and committed to winning at all costs? Did you notice that you are impatient, condescending, offensive, insistent on their sacrifice, and willing to forfeit your shared ideals that you somehow never seem to mention on your own?
You never noticed that?
Yes, I guess that would be uncomfortable for you.
Never mind.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
