A Little Sunday Morning Love

There are few things I enjoy more than a good argument. One, however, is ripping shallowly thought out responses to my posts.
Here are a couple comments on my last post.

Wow, sounds like you got that crap straight from Limbaugh.

Don't think, just spew.
Daedalus (@ http://www.washingtonrox.blogspot.com/)

and,

I'd comment here that there are many sorts of Democrats as there are Republicans, but obviously you are one of the people who sees your truth as the only truth, so why bother?

It's a weird version of democracy you believe in--where everyone has a right to their opinions(sic), as long as it matches yours!

C'mon guys, how 'bout an argument against any of the points? I am well aware of the mental derangement of your party that only allows you to deal in emotional retort, but for one friggin' minute just argue the point! Is it not true that most that call themselves Democrats have no idea what their party now represents? Go ask your parents what a 'Democrat' is. See if it in any way parallels the Dean/Moore/Springer party it is today.
It seems the Left has gotten so used to attacking the messenger that they simply ignore the message altogether...or maybe it is something else completely.
Maybe you have become so ‘invested’ in your political side of the fence that you can not now even admit when those on your side spout such inanities. Kind of sounds like another group making the news as of late. I won’t here say that group is Muslims...that would be intolerant. Whoops, too late.
Ah, but I will not fall into the same trap you so obviously are ensnared in yourselves .

Daedalus said, ’sounds like you got that crap straight from Limbaugh’. I do listen to Mr. Limbaugh on occasion. That is obviously an insult in his estimation, it is not in mine. I also will tune into Air America and listen in awe to the great philosopher/culturist Jerry Springer. Who in your estimation, Mr. Daedalus, holds more credibility and honor? Answer at your own peril.

Library Lady writes, ‘I'd comment here that there are many sorts of Democrats as there are Republicans’. So true. But where in the post did it say there were not? In fact, where was the word ‘Republican’ at all? Your investment slip is showing.
And she writes, ‘but obviously you are one of the people who sees your truth as the only truth, so why bother?’ How is that ‘obvious’? None of the points on the post were my ‘truths’. Far from it. Please, if you would like to argue the validity of any of them, feel free. But they are not mine. Maybe what frightens you most is they just may be yours. Or not yours at all, but now you are either stuck with them or will actually have to take the time and pain of introspection. My truths...no, but are they yours?
And lastly, ‘It's a weird version of democracy you believe in--where everyone has a right to their opinons(sic), as long as it matches yours!’ Again, how does this point have anything to do with the post? Here’s how, it doesn’t. Do I want people to believe as I do? Sure. Or I wouldn’t have an opinion, and definitely not a blog. But Ms. Library deep down I bet your pretty much the same. I bet you believe your ideas and thoughts on issues are the right ones. That your world view is one that would be to the betterment of the planet and mankind. Here we are no different. But I draw the line at ‘as long as it matches yours!’. Which party attacks those who question gay marriage as haters? Attacks the teaching of theories other than evolution in schools? Maligns pro-lifers as zealots, red staters as bible thumping morons, minority Bush appointees as ‘Uncle Toms’?
And I will take offense to your ‘weird version of democracy’ dig. How is asking Dems to get informed a ‘weird version of democracy’? Or is truth a danger to democracy? Better yet, is truth a danger to the Democratic Party?
