Stuck on Stupid
The willingness of half the Senate Democrats to vote against a candidate of Judge Roberts’s ability, accomplishment, and temperament is a disgrace, and one that will likely change the “rules of engagement” with respect to the Supreme Court confirmation process for years to come.
So saith Paul.
Paul gets the Stuck on Stupid Award for today.
(Stuck on Stupid Award = SSA = backward ass.)
Update: A second SSA has been awarded! Ladies and gentlement, we give you Mark Noonan (his “work” has been featured here before)…
As our Sister Toldjah noted earlier, the “indictment” of Tom Delay is entirely bogus - from what I’ve read, Tom Delay didn’t know about the perfectly legal transaction he is accused of conspiring to make. We have now left entirely the field of normal political conflict and entered a twilight world where fantasy is presented as fact and the only standard of conduct is “will it work?”. This is not the actions of a political Party engaged in seeking a majority - it is the action of a Party determined to destroy its opponents entirely and sieze all power for itself…it is, in short, the stuff from which civil wars are made.
In a normal democratic society, the political parties argue it out, resort to the voters and abide by the results - in our very abnormal society, there is no argument. There is accusation and innuendo, and the count of the voters is considered null and void unless it comes to the “correct” conclusion as determined by one Party. The Democrats do not like Tom Delay - and that is natural and normal given that Delay is a senior leader of the other side, and a damned effective one at that. But this quest to destroy Delay goes beyond the pale - it is an outrage; a negation of all that America is about…a betrayal of American political institutions.
I really do urge our Democrats to step back from the edge - you are sitting in a lake of gasoline and you are playing with fire. We on our side will only put up with so much before we start to pay back with usury what we have received. If you can’t defeat Tom Delay in the electoral field, then you will simply have to accept him as Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives - and you’d better start accepting political reality before things get really bad.
Before things get really bad? Was that a threat, Mark? From where you’re sitting, I don’t think you have much room to talk about a betrayal of American political systems.
Update #2: Mark Noonan’s post was featured on Daily Kos, where it was thoroughly dissected. In retaliation, Mark decided to post on his site some comments which he says were posted on the Daily Kos site. Problem is, the comments posted by Mark were completely fabricated by him and never appeared on Daily Kos.
If Mark and Blogs for Bush ever had any credibility before, they do not now. I am surprised that Mark would be stupid enough to post something so easily disproven.
Update #3: Having been caught in their lie, Mark Noonan and Matt Margolis at Blogs for Bush are now claiming that the offensive comments to which Mark referred were actually comments received but never posted at their website. (They screen all comments and will only publish those from people who agree with them.)
Sad… truly, truly sad.
Even sadder is this post today (September 30th) in which suddenly Mark becomes the aggrieved party and the loving and forgiving Christian. Go read it, but try not to laugh too much. Here is just one paragraph…
As for me, I turn away from wrath - I am a Christian; I love my enemies, and I pray for those who hate me. No anger here - a great deal of dismay, but no anger…no hatred. It is, to say the least, alarming to be on the receiving end of death threats - but it seems to be in the nature of the left to issue such threats and use other hateful tactics and words. The left, after all, was born of a rejection of Judeo-Christian values…meaning, at bottom, a rejection of the divine love underlying the Judeo-Christian religious ethic. Born of a rejection of love, the left could do no other than disintegrate into a fanatic hatred of all things.
