yep, it's true--democrats are two-faced, evil, and not so smart, either

driving back from the train station today, doing my regular bit to support public transportation and lower carbon footprints like any good liberal would, i noticed a small toyota plastered with democrat propaganda stickers, including an older one admonishing the younger bush to "pull out like your father should have done". i probably wouldn't have given it a second thought, only this morning we're apparently obsessing over one particular and particularly poorly-behaved south carolinian, who learned his politics at the knee of an anti-civil rights filibusterer, and his manners at the rush limbaugh school of bluster first, think later.

so, am i really supposed to be so righteously indignant about boorishness within the halls of congress, while folks regularly express their lefty political views in terms of eugenics and other base personal attacks on the ass end of their foreign cars?

in the same way i consider all republicans complicit in the idiocy that is creationism, birtherism and the blind, deaf but unfortunately only dumb in the idiot, not silent, sense, opposition of anything that might come out of somebody else's mouth even before it comes out, i likewise consider democrats guilty of both the basest form of arrogant, ad-hominem politics, as well as the grand hypocrisy of wanting to persecute anyone who would use those same sorts of terms against THEIR guys and gals. (which is to say, if you question obama's parentage you must be a racist, while if you advocate regulating the procreative habits of his predecessor's father, you're just kidding around).

or maybe that 'yota jockey really meant it?

if i had had the time, and a sharpie handy, i'd have hopped out and scrawled across one of the other stickers advocating the firing of republicans to save the nation that we make sure to fire the democrats, too, lest we fail to recognize the kindred corruption of values.
