Not All Democrats Are Nuts, And Certainly Not This One
Sentaor Bill Frist penned a comment about the cloture vote in the Senate today. In essence, he shows why he thinks the Democrats were wrong in filing for cloture, but as Frist is a Republican, one can expect him to hew to the Republican line. However, that is not the thrust of this post. This post concerns one Jeff Jay, a commenter on Frists article. Mr. Jay says:
As a Democratic supporter, I am woefully confident that the Democratic leadership in Congress will create the conditions for a full-fledged civil war in the Middle East, one that will extend beyond international boundaries. Originally, even I did not wish the current administration to become involved with the MIDEAST MENACE long (2000)before ANY of these world events. In April 2000 I did surmise that we would be pulled into conflict in that arena, only because of our historical democratic ideals--exactly the ones that brought us rescuing the pathetic world in the past century.As the title of the post says: "Not All Democrats Are Nuts, And Certainly Not This One" Mr. Jay, I don't know who you are or where you live, but I would certainly like to share a strong adult libation with you! Posted by GM Roper at February 17, 2007 07:10 PM | TrackBackThe current Democratic power will only be satified when they have catalyzed a crisis situation while simultaneously sitting in the peanut gallery complaining, whining, and moaning and doing nothing to problem-solve and end war. They seem to enjoy a complicitory, mentating, schadenfreud, "isolationalist yet meddling" stance that will, mark my word, historically prove to be the low-road on international policy. This is certainly NOT following the lineage of FDR and the TRUE DEMOCRATIC heritage.
a disappointed DEMOCRAT
Dear GM: Please do not forget me! My adult libation of choice is either a gin and tonic with a splash of bitters and a twist of lemon, or the nearest beer.
Still, most Democrats are mendacious madmen.

I failed to trackback this.

Can Democrat majority have some influence on US policy against the "Axis of Evil"? More attention to Iraq and North Korea is necessary.

Umm, if Mr. Jay really is "woefully confident that the Democratic leadership in Congress will create the conditions for a full-fledged civil war in the Middle East ", then how on earth is he still a 'Democratic supporter'?
I mean that is ridiculous on its face. I personally believe that visiting GM's will lead to the end of all life on earth, but yessiree Bob, you can still count on me showing up on a regular basis.
The dissociation of 'thought', from actions and the follow-on consequences, and the ability to 'compartmentalize' one'spersonal reality is not all that 'good' a thing.
They seem to enjoy a complicitory, mentating, schadenfreud, "isolationalist yet meddling" stance that will, mark my word, historically prove to be the low-road on international policy.
Don't write scathing denunciations of a group while still remaining a 'supporter' of that group. Quit the accursed thing and be done with it. You really can't 'fix' it, you know. It's now well beyond the 'fixing' stage, more's the pity.
Just say no, Jeff. Well don't 'say' it exactly --- more like 'do' it.

He's not. Jay is a "concern-troll" or a variant thereof.

It's not too difficult to spot these folks with a little practice.
