Excessively Wealthy, Loving Life and Dangerous

Excessively wealthy, loving life and dangerous

Several weeks ago an AC producer wrote a column on the Nature of Discourse. In that article he made the remark that all of those that still supported our president were either "excessively wealthy and loving life, too mired in religious dogma to see how evil the man really is, or too detached to care". He then went on to say how dangerous he thought we were.

I am confused. How could my accomplishments pose a danger to him? Does my being happy cause him to be unhappy? If what I read is correct, then I am an idiot because of my religious and political beliefs. Is this the tolerance that the liberals so often demand?

What is it that I don't care about? If the writer was correct, then I am too detached to care but I am missing something. Am I too detached to allow him to tell me what I should think, or how I should live, or what I should believe? I guess that I am too detached to give myself over to things that I believe are ridiculous and non-productive.

I haven't been oblivious to their crazy assertions that my party stole an election. I have been too polite to point out what is obvious. My friend needs to consider that if the Republican Party was able to actually steal an election when his party did everything that they could do to prevent it, then they have a real problem. They counted and counted and were not able to change the results, they railed and protested and they could not change the results. They were either wrong or weak, you decide.

He asserted over and over again that Bush lied about the wmds, but does it occur to him that Saddam didn't kill all of the Kurds with a pea shooter? Does it occur to him that many of his liberal heroes also said that he had the weapons? I guess they didn't lie, they just didn't bother to read the information that was readily available to them. Why bother to find out the facts when you can spout rhetoric instead?
