My Liberal Fans Just Can't Get Enough

By Selwyn Duke

So I see that the deep thinkers over at Sadly, No! picked up on my piece "All the President's Bigoted Men" and have much to say about me.  That's right, not the piece — me.  Their comments are an interesting read if you'd like some insight into liberal "intellectualism" (yikes, even with the quotation marks it's strikingly oxymoronic).  Among the gems you'll be treated to are posts peppered with profanity and one in which the writer wishes there were a Hell so that conservative commentator Robert Novak, who just passed away today, could go there.  Very, very classy, guys.  I should also point out that such wishing of damnation on political opponents isn't even original, as it echoes the snooty, woefully overestimated anti-theist Christopher Hitchens' remark after Jerry Falwell's death.  To wit, "I wish there was a Hell for Falwell." 

Wow, being atheistic and liberal just seems so . . . so attractive.  They just may win me over.

The little blurb about my article at Sadly, No! was written by someone who didn't want to attach his real name to his musings.  Instead, he used the handle "Tintin."  Hmm, I didn't think dogs could write. 

Oh, yeah, I remember now.  They can write.

They just can't reason. 

However, I will take the inability to address substantively even one point in a 2500-word piece as an admission of defeat.  In debate, I guess you could say that avoidance is the sincerest form of flattery.

Do liberals operate based on emotion?  Are their offerings thus without merit and completely visceral?  Are they the ones ridden with vice who poison public discourse with mindless ad hominem attacks and ugliness of the tongue?

Sadly, Yes.

(Note: some readers have mentioned that the name of the dog I was alluding to in this piece is "Rin-Tin-Tin."  I was aware of this, but the handle in question was close enough so that I decided to indulge some artistic license.  However, I will admit that I didn't know of the European comic strip character "Tintin," who certain readers assumed I had confused with the dog.  I suppose you learn something new every day.)
