When it co...Finally Sadow admits the “serious sin”. When it comes to the politicians he worships, he wears such delicate gloves! Truth be told: Vitter is terrible for many reasons, and while the story of another bible-thumping charlatan getting caught red-handed is delicious, it isn’t that big of a deal. Does it show how hypocritical you people are? Yeah, a bit, but his cultivation of hatred against non-existent “domestic enemies” is worse. There are plenty of substantive reasons to look down on this dishonest conspiracy theorist.<br /><br />Actually, I know you think in such simpleton terms as liberals being collectively “too closed-minded” to grasp why Vitter wins, but it’s totally obvious to everyone. It’s an anti-Obama mood in this state that Vitter is riding. It’s the John Birch Society at the helm, and the grip of delusion is firm. Think about it: you people actually believe that Obama hates this country and deliberately(!) wants to ruin the economy in order to consolidate power and inflict a anti-colonialist worldview and communism. If you are caught up in the delusion of that sort of stuff, that is you actually believe it en masse, then of course your candidate will benefit from a high-turnout against such “evil.” <br /><br />By the way, I love this line: “advocating a conservative agenda the superiority of which has been magnified by the inadequacy of liberalism when translated into policy over the past 21 months.” The economic disaster is a CONSEQUENCE of your conservative agenda. Obama didn’t cause this mess. And you conservatives think that trucking boatloads of money to the rich, and to be repaid by future poor generations, all while worsening the deficit and debt, that is the solution? We can’t afford any more deficit-growing conservative ideas. We can’t afford any more huge tax breaks. We have to pay off debt like responsible grown-ups. <br /><br />Also, “Historically, Louisiana voters have been more willing to concentrate on issues than personalities”? You must be out of your mind. Every one of your leading politicians reeks of snake-oil salesman cheese. That includes Dems. Politics in this state is like a circus, and your politicians are the carnies. Louisianans do NOT focus on the issues; this is not a state that is a model of good-governance. Do you mean that they focus on the “issues” like the giant novelty checks that Melancon is apparently gifting to Mexicans streaming across the Red River, along with taxpayer-supported limos? Do you think when the Kingfisher ran the show that nobody paid attention to his personality, and just drilled down to the issues?Mr. Harris Plutocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272042050207617611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-28260760617461014372010-10-25T18:06:07.665-05:002010-10-25T18:06:07.665-05:00Dearest Sadowood,

The Patients’ abandoning their slavish commitment to virtue, opting instead for expediency, individual benefit, and greed, is, indeed, good news. Their overwhelming support for Mr. Vitter, whose public and private morality is antithetical to that of the Enemy, can only be seen as a victory for the dark side.<br /><br /> Though your own efforts in this endeavor were, as usual, quite pathetic, Our Father Below may, nevertheless, grant you pardon so that you may avoid the usual penalties at the House of Correction for Incompetent Tempters. Obama’s carrying Caddo Parish remains a major blemish on your record, but your efforts to befuddle, confuse, and corrupt remain rivaled by few. We can only hope that one day the results of your efforts will be proportionate with the efforts themselves.<br /><br />Although the safest path to hell is a gradual one, we seem to have picked up the pace. Let us hope that the Patients are not jarred to their senses by the impetuous and obnoxious nature of you and your ilk.<br /><br />With every good wish for your continued success at the Tempter’s Training College for young demons, I remain<br /><br />Your devoted uncle,<br /><br />ScrewtapeLandman of the Apocalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11398585841170348856noreply@blogger.com
