How out to lunch is the Left? A web poll of the readers of the Democratic Underground site found the vast majority of respondents believing that George W. Bush's reelection was more devastating than 9/11.

And they claim the red states are ignorant?!

This is something we already anticipated, because of their behavior throughout the campaign and their overall reaction and attitude toward 9/11. This is not all that shocking.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of their friends even denied the events of September 11.

The hardcore cool aid drinkers still don’t get it. They still don’t understand how the moronic masses can’t see things their way and why Kerry was not THE option for President.

How could us Neanderthals vote for that idiot Bush?

James Carville gets it. He made a speech recently and stated that if the Party’s general philosophy doesn’t change, they will become extinct as a political force. Carville has never been accused of being dumb.

Bottom line for the Dems: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and again and expecting different results.

That definition of insanity really does apply. I don't exactly begrudge even liberals of having their wacky views and trying to convince others of their rightness. But they seem to an unfortunate extent lack any perspective on themselves and their worldview as, well, just that, a "worldview" which people may or may not find convincing.

I am consistently shocked (well annoyed anyway) to keep being greeted with blank uncomprehending stares by libs here in NYC about such things as that I believe that the Gospels are historical texts. They are really clueless and wholly lacking in serious intellectual curiosity. Ironic actually given the extent to which the left pushes tolerance and multiculturalism . . . they make no efforts to sympathetically understand or tolerate the culture of the so-called red states.

Chris,

There are a lot of 9/11 deniers out there on the left actually. You may have seen the "reopen the 9/11 investigation" ads on t.v., well those videos are total leftist conspiracy theory tapes pushing the idea that Bush is the perpetrator of 9/11 and that they blew up the Pentagon and the Twin Towers themselves, etc. One of those whackos is a friend of a couple of my buddies and he came over to their apartment with those videos and they watched them.

Seriously, there are some real kooks out there.

Wholely tolerant only of their own agenda actually.

"Kooks" is putting it politely, Brian. How about "morons?"

Mention God or Jesus to these people and they give you a look like you’re wearing a pointy white hat with mask and a sheet.

They obviously have their realities screwed up.

When established robust beliefs are looked upon as an oddity by the loony left while less traditional and more offensive beliefs are foisted as being OK, they shouldn’t be wondering why they and their ilk keep seeing their candidates getting their butts kicked and their initiatives voted down.

How interesting! George W. Bush has done a lot of harm to this country. And how cliche to sterotype the blue staters as godless, ignorant, and sacreligious! The only diffeence between blue staters and red staters in regards to religion is that the blue staters believe in the time honored priciple of seperating matters of faith and politics. For this they are branded athiests by you fools. Please. Don't be so ignorant.

I thought Kerry went to great lengths explaining how his faith informs all of his political positions?

Anyway, it is impossible to seperate faith and politics, they are integrally related.

hahah. Voting patterns and faith may be intergally related. That dosen't mean that policymakers should favor one faith over another, as George Bush and John Ashcroft tried to do.

Apu-
most laws and policies are based on ethics and morals. This country is majority Christian and like Dan said homosexuality is seen as immoral by "Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and all of the world's great faiths" So Bush is not favoring one faith over the other but a basic teaching of most faiths.

Hmmm, did any of you good people catch President Bush's second inaugural speech? I'm just a little bit puzzled about the line he used that started with the words "From the day of our founding..."

He SEEMED to be saying that our nation's history was one of "equality for all", regardless of race, religion or gender - and I was just wondering if perhaps he was momentarily confused and mistakenly believed that he had been elected to the position of Canadian Prime Minister or something...

You see, I'm PRETTY SURE that black people weren't regarded as equals 'from the day of our founding' - since they were, well... they were slaves!

Also, since women weren't allowed to vote or to own property, I hardly think that they'd have considered that to be "equality" - not by any standard, commonly-accepted definition of the word.

Another very small point: In a recent speech to a religious organization, Justice Antonin Scalia said that the "separation of church and state in pre-World War II Europe didn't do anything to save the Jewish people from persecution or the holocaust" when every history book THAT I've ever read on the subject, talks about Adolph Hitler and the Nazis as being staunch advocates for Christian faith-based public schools, government mandated prayers and religiously sworn pledges of allegiance to the Reich. The Nazis also had Christian prayer services in their own Christian church (called the 'Reichschurch') and they had special uniforms and rank insignias for the Third Reich's Christian Nazi Military Chaplains. Pope Pius even celebrated Hitler's birthday with him and the Catholic church never once criticized Hitler's behavior, or denied him Holy Communion, like they did to that war-traitor, sissy-boy coward, John Kerry.

In fact, the phrase "Gott mit Uns" is a very common Nazi slogan often found engraved onto Nazi uniform belt buckles and some of the Third Reich's most important honorary awards and medals, such as those that Adolph Hitler gave to many of our brave, American, conservative, anti-labor union businessmen - Hitler so honored very wealthy and politically powerful people such as Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh. As I'm sure all you well-educated, God-fearing, proudly patriotic, America-loving citizens already know, that German phrase means "God with Us".

So, what's the error in my logic here, Gentlemen? Is Justice Scalia a total nit-wit? - or is my own version of history completely warped and out of whack? Is President Bush talking about some alternate version of American historical reality - perhaps a result of a tear in the boundaries governing space and time? Or has my own liberal, sub-standard, non-"faith-based" education lead me to erroneous conclusions that just aren't supported by the facts AS YOU GENTLEMEN KNOW them?

As well-read and highly-educated as you outstanding young, smart Americans obviously ARE, I'm hoping that such scholastic over-achievers and deep-thinkers, with such expensive and classically disciplined, conservative educations as yours - might be able to help me square-up 'what I know', with what Justice Scalia and President Bush were really saying?!

Surely we deep-thinking Republicans couldn't have been so easily tricked into voting for a party, a man AND an administration that doesn't know THE FIRST THING about our great nation's history! That would be really, REALLY embarassing, wouldn't it?

Oh yes, I almost forgot. President Bush often attributes his "culture of life" positions to his obviously heart-felt Christian faith, but I noticed that the book of Kings II 6:28-29 seems to shed a substantial amount of doubt about the real scriptural value of innocent human life. Perhaps one of you smart, common-sense conservatives might ALSO wish to look into that seemingly contradictory point of contention.

I'll check back in just a few hours - to see if YOU guys managed to resolve these bothersome things - where I've obviously failed due to a lack of intelligence.

I was just thinking ...do you guys know what would really, REALLY SUCK?

If those stupid, left-wing liberals and the National 'Demoncrapic' Party were RIGHT all along - about EVERYTHING - and it turned-out that WE WERE the ones who were brainwashed! That would suck worse than ANYTHING in the world!

Seriously though, I suppose the chances of THAT happening are about the same as Justice Scalia making a public press statement saying that he was in favor of group sex! = )

Later Guys!

I'm taking my younguns outta pubic school on Mondy. Me and my wife kin jist home-school the little tikes from now own. I ain't sending them off to that school no more, because them teachers was a telling my kids a pack of lies! My youngest boy Digger done toll me that they learned in history class that they used to be HOTLER YOUTH CAMPS - here in America! He said the teacher toll him they was one in New York called Camp Siegfried. Now I done lived in this here country all my hole life and I KNOW dang good and well that they wasn't no Hitler Camps here in the good old U.S. of A!

Thats egzackly whut Brother Fallwell toll us wood happens when ever the courts and the judjes has tooken the Good Lord out of are schools, them teachers all jest start to lying like dogs!

Justice Scalia LOVES groups sex! He IS Ron Jeremy's 2nd cousin. What did you people expect!? Besides, everybody knows that Republicans LIKE the "strict daddy" types! At least that's what Peggy "Nah-Noo-Nah-Noo" Noonnan siad! And if you can't trust Our Blessed Lady of the Magic Jesus Dolphins, then who CAN you trust? Line up boys, Scalia is gonna spank dat-ass and make ya' call him "Daddy"!

I was wondering EXACTLY WHAT DANIEL J. FLYNN was talking about in his book, in that chapter where he wrote about "how many long, happy hours he had spent, closely examining the contents of Justice Scalia's "BRIEFS"!

Didn't Mr. Flynn also write that he used to work on Scalia's "STAFF"... or was that someone else?

Just wait till Matt Drudge gets ahold of THIS ONE!
