I Congratulate No One

“Disliking,” on the other hand, is active, and means you intentionally choose a position that expresses disfavor towards somneone or something.”

Lets just agree to disagree. I have a number of people in my work life I dislike intensely...but they do not get any different treatment and would be quite surprised to know it.

Ah, but YOU know it. But, if it comes off to them as you being indifferent, all the better (because NOTHING enrages a liberal more than someone being indifferent to them; it tells them they are the empty voids that they are, complete nulls, as deserving of attention as a minute speck of dust).

I think my point was: what do victories gain us, if the Freeperworld is not interested in them? They follow politics like a soap opera. Half the people on here are not actively supporting any candidate and many of the others support “pipe dream” candidates that never had a chance.

I have nothing in common with conservatives who seek to “go down to glorious defeat.” Is there a name for this syndrome? It’s ok to support a Christine O’Donnell on occasion, but if everybody on Freeper supported nothing but losers, ya think maybe they are doing something wrong? Ya think? I know people here in Ct who year after year find a Christine O’Donnell and they never learn but instead are more determined to finally get it right with the latest version of Christine.

There were 100’s of teaparty folks in CT ... none of their candidates got 40%! They made a priority of taking out 10-term Rosa DeLauro in New Haven ... and lost 75% to 25% and the candidates who were in battles and ended with 48% ... nobody showed up. Long-shot celebrity candidates are more exciting.

I resigned from the right-wing “cult of defeat” in 2002. My only relapse was when I went to New Hampshire this year to try to get something going for Newt or Santorum.

Again, what is the name for this philosophy?
