The other thing I’ve noticed about leftists is that the always seem totally consumed by angst and anger. I get upset about current events too, but then I get on with my life and have fun any way I can. Among leftists, I sense the attitude that nobody should be happy until all of their pet causes have been fulfilled. So not only are they upset about the issue du jour, they’re even more upset that other people are happy.
“I get upset about current events too, but then I get on with my life and have fun any way I can.”
Me too, but I have been surprised at the tone on Free Republic lately re: McCain’s apparent nomination. I can understand people being disappointed or disgruntled, but many of us are falling totally apart and making extraordinary threats. It is not the end of the world; I wish people would realize that, and work with the reality without extreme bitterness. Make the best of it, you know?
I agree with what you said completely.
