Dear Mr. David Axelrod,
This letter is in response to your missive of June 18 last. It was only at this point that I realized your FReeper pseudonym is DiogenesLamp.
Originally, your incessant negatism and harping had me suspecting you of being just a simple crank. That you would constantly work to attack the GOP Presidential candidate, the only viable alternative being the anti-American, pro-Sunni Islam Barak Hussein Obama, an open and notorious Cook County Democrat. It’s delicious irony that you’re actually his campaign gremlin, as least as far as Free Republic is concerned.
Your pseudonym is creative. I had originally thought it to be Diogenes of Athenian tub fame, you being in real life a simple cynic. I now see my error.
Your name is actually after the misnamed psychological disorder Diogenes syndrome. It was the “Lamp” portion of your name that threw me. I thought it was a normal lamp, one that shines forth light in dark places, yet you always bring darkness and fear to any light place.
That’s when I got it. Your lamp shines forth not with beautiful clarifying light, where our Lord and Savior said, “the darkness comprehendeth it not”, but instead your light is darkness.
Like Diogenes syndrome your intention is to bring about a stupor of thought and inactivity on the part of conservatives. Like the syndrome you’re named after you prefer extreme self-neglect, domestic squalor, social withdrawal, apathy, compulsive hoarding, and lack of shame. Your goal is conservative catatonia.
In this case it is conservatives and conservative ideals that you wish to make ill. Your lamp isn’t a cure, but a cause of the disease. The more conservatives you get to jump on the ‘third party’ bandwagon, withdraw from political activity, and abandon America, the easier your job becomes.
No, David, I for one will not go meekly into that dark night. I see a new sun rising, its silver lining even now outlines the gloom you and Obama have wrought. There still is an America and Americans who love her dearly. I won’t quit, not now, not ever.
I know that if conservatives can form coalitions with urban voters, perhaps at first only on the eonomic front, we can garner those votes and begin the necessary crippling of the Democratic Party and its criminal, totalitarian, and socialistic policies. Your lamp won’t spew darkness on my corner of America.
Be gone, out damned spot, out.
Sincerely,
1010RD (An American)
If you think the financial problems can be waved away, it is you who are in need of some enlightenment.
Your answer so far is "Dude, Don't bring me down." I would point out that it is generally the behavior of an ADULT to not hide from ugly truths by deflecting them with ad hominums.
We are seeing the encroachment of a STASI state, at the same time we are seeing massive runaway inflation. We are in debt to the tune of something like 100 trillion dollars, and YOU think you are communicating with an Obama stooge?
I'm beginning to feel a whole lot less like the father of cynicism and a lot more like Cassandra. I suspect I overestimated your competence and intelligence. It's a mistake i'm not likely to make a second time.
