This is the best they've got?

"WHY ARE CONSERVATIVES SO AFRAID?"

...

My, how far we have fallen, with an administration that parlays the incessant fear of its supporters into increased authoritativeness to the point where he now resembles the very despot we fought in our war of independence.

[The Ponderosa: Moral equivalency taken to a new low! An elected administration that listens in on al Qaeda "now resembles" a murderous, unelected kleptocracy with its rape rooms, plastic shredders and mass graves! ]

And his supporters bellow, as they cower under their beds:

Here's our liberties, just spare us from death!

[The Ponderosa: Kinda like allowing the government to take a huge portion of your income and plan for your life? ]

These blowhards pretend they are macho even as they piddle on themselves in abject terror from every "boo!" that comes out of Osama Bin Laden's mouth. They like to speak about how tough they are, even though they send others to fight their battles and couldn't last a day in places like Iraq, or Sudan, or the El Salvador of my youth, or any other war-torn nation.


[The Ponderosa: I’m fairly certain I can take Osama in a fistfight. Not so sure I can swat a highjacked plane or ICBM out of the sky with one of my beefy arms. Kos is, probably intentionally, conflating "self-defense" and "common defense".

The same overgrown infants who want Daddy Government to take over every responsibilty of day-to-day life, stuff ADULTS, as ADULTS, used to be expected to attend to, mock those of us who rely upon the central government to do the one thing the individual cannot do: defend us against acts of war.

Oh -- sorry about El Salvador, Kos. You and your commie buddies can't win 'em all!]

...

The breathtaking cowardice of the 101st Fighting Keyboardists knows no bounds. They hide behind the American flag and our genuinely brave men and women in uniform. It's bad enough that they wouldn't deign to join the boots in the ground in Iraq. But now they make a mockery of our Constitution, for the very values that motivated our Founding Fathers to put their lives on the line to combat the unchecked powers of the British monarchy.

[The Ponderosa: Will this logical fallacy NEVER die (never mind that many of us are well past the maximum age of enlistment)? By this "logic", every pro-choicer should enroll in med school and become an abortionist. Everybody who whines about the high cost of pharmaceuticals or oil should quit his current gig and start a drug or oil company. ]

This is the best the Left has to offer …?

More straw men here than an Iowa cornfield!

No one's hiding anywhere nor piddling on anything save for the latest Al Franken book nor has anyone brought forth evidence of any normal citizen having his civil liberties encroached upon.

As far as we know, the porn still flows through public library computers and buggery and abortions continue apace!

People, don't think for a minute that this crackpot is well outside the mainstream of the Democrat Party.

Indeed, pixilated Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid will be speaking at Kos' event in Las Vegas.

We encourage Kos and all in the disloyal opposition to follow this tack through the November elections.
