The black crepe is out at [the Daily] Kos...
I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn't understand why the President would be going to Iraq when so many things are wrong in this country. "Doesn’t Mr. Bush care about us anymore?" she asked pitifully.You know, you have to have a heart of stone to be able to read this and not laugh out loud. I'll confess, regretfully, that I wasn't up to the task.I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to explain to her why the President seems to be abandoning his country. "Honey, I think his boss, Mr. Rove, sent Mr. Bush out of the country in order to keep himself out of the newspapers. You see, he wasn’t sure if he was going to be arrested today or not, and so he planned Mr. Bush’s trip ahead of time just in case...”
I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at such a loss for words - nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit, "Honey, I just don't know - I don't know what's going on in this country anymore..."
When I finished her lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears, "Daddy" she said, "why are the Republicans doing this to the country?" Well, that was it for me: I finally fell apart. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes.
Wisper will be our new god.
LOL. Wisper, the voice of reason. Wonder how long Wisper will last there before being banned.
Percisely. I've done some reading on theories of mental illness which might lend a lot of weight to the notion that current leftist thinking is either a mental illness, or contributes to mental illness. It has to do with how thoughts actually affect brain physiology. Neural pathways and brain chemistry seem to be affected by how one thinks. Think depressing thoughts, and one becomes depressed...something along those lines. The basic problem with contemporary liberal ideology is that it is not tied to reality -- in fact, how a liberal views the world and the nature of mankind flies in the face of reality. In other words, liberalism runs smack into the wall of the way things really are. Unless the individual liberal adjusts his/her thinking to the real world, they start to become delusional, until they are incapable of seeing what is true and real. They begin to function in a quasi-fantasyland. Their delusions become permanently wired in their brains, and they become incapable of responding to reality, incapable to seeing truth, incapable of thinking logically, incapable of discerning the difference between right and wrong. I once asked a friend who has a Ph.D. in behavioral psychology from Stanford whether it is generally accepted within the behavioral sciences that how one thinks affects brain function, and she said it is generally accepted. So, I think a strong case can be made that because liberalism has increasingly divorced itself from the way the world really works, from the way humanity really functions, it has led its ardent believers into the realm of mental illness.
HA! Joke's on you..I can't read..
Are you describing cognitive dissonance?
Me neither. I can't see to read because my computer screen is almost completely covered in "liquid paper". I respond on FR via a microphone and voice to text software.
Oh yeah..I have a seeing eye dog that does all of my internet reading & typing for me..he is such a good dog..very nimble with his paws..good doggy..
We should try and find out who that is. He/she would be a certain nominee for Freeper of the year.
Tell me about it..thanks to his bad senses he had you run over my seeing eye dog..bad bad dog..no biscuit for him

I clicked Michelle Malkin (and then the hyperlink Jeff G.) where I found substantially the same letter, with a couple of changes, but slamming CAIR. :-)
Heh heh heh.
Cheers!
What's hilarious is that the guy is just a faker that repeatedly posts exactly the same post, word for word, edited for the outrage du jour. Read down a few posts on the thread. Even the Koser's can't take this guy seriously.
