You know, I went over to DU to relish in a little schadenfreude myself. After reading their threads, my initial sadistic glee was replaced by pity.

Don't get me wrong. I don't feel bad for them because their people lost. I will never feel bad about a socialist losing an election.

I guess I was struck at how miserable with life they all seemed. Anger, bitterness and fear seemed to permeate from every post. It seems like the vast majority of them are dyed-in-the-wool conspiracy theorists. Their worldview is so naive as to be childlike. I get the impression that many of them are seriously damaged people who take refuge in blind hatred of Bush. (At least Freepers hate Clinton for his complete lack of morals and the crimes he committed. The DU crowd seems to despise Bush just because of what he believes in.)

So I can't take much enjoyment from their misery. As a Christian, I sense that these are seriously lost souls who need help instead of ridicule. I'm happy that their candidates lost, but sad that some people are doomed to live misguided lives filled with such bitterness. I'll pray for them.

Well, I of course don't wish the Despondent Unitarians any personal ill. I know one DUser personally and he's a nice guy -- but a guy who has made a lot of poor choices in his life and uses his liberal politics as a way to rationalize his own failure to succeed. I suspect many DUziebots are the same: intelligent people who have failed to realize their aspirations and refuse to acknowledge that most of their problems are their own fault.

And how do I know this? I know because I used to be the same way.

It's nice to see the Bad Guys humbled occasionally. However, we must never forget that any victory we enjoy is not ours but the Lord's. Now, let's take the victory He has given us and use it to do His will -- starting by reversing Roe v. Wade.

Ignore anything you read in Demented Untermentschen, it's inhabited mostly by mental cases, lunatics, psychotics and microcephalic cretins. The rest are arrested adolescents. Really.

Here - this is all you need to know about DU:

More likely they take refuge in their bunk beds in the corners of their parents' basements.
