There is something to be said for that, but I do disagree. I think it is more like a friend who sent me a "truther" video. I watched it, and then called him. Instead of arguing with him about it, I asked him "so why aren't you going with me to the gun show this weekend?" He is a lefty and was confused about my reply. I said "if the goverment is that big and evil don't you think it would be better for all involved if you ARMED yourself? I have." I told him I did not buy the scenario, not because I thought government morally incapable of such an act -- If you are going to go into hysterics, now is the time to do so -- but because I think they are so damn inept and disorganized they could never in a billion years pull something like that off and then keep it quiet.
I think that is the difference between me and the faithful elect here on FR. You guys really believe in the moral rectitude of our leaders ......, IF they have an (R) in front of their names. In that sense, you are mirror images of the moonbats on DU. They are convinced that the key is to get the right people into power, and that the republicans are satanically empowered. For a few (a VERY VERY VERY few), I believe this confidence in a politico may be justified. You don't think they would do something like that (although the dems might!), and I don't think they COULD do something like that....., but there is almost always skullduggery of a minor sort around that you could dig up if given investigative license. That is why the two groups need to be balanced in power.
You guys just keep romantically dreaming that the good guys will keep their white hats.
