Bitter Nasties in Gummint? No Kidding!

P-Mac politely disagrees with the lefty NPR (redundant, I know) commenter, Mordecai Lee.

After recounting the painful experiences Conservatives have had with Dreyfus and Thompson, he gets to the point:

I’ll tell you why things are bitter: It’s because until lately, liberals in Wisconsin, having for years had the field to themselves, presumed the state was their possession. They grew unused to having to contest things politically and so lost the habits of fighting civilly. They did not know, and in some quarters still do not know, how civilized people differ.

P-Mac doesn't go far enough. In fact, the remarkably un-civil Democrat Party members not only 'lost the habit of fighting civilly,' they are convinced that resistance to their ideas or argument therewith automatically signifies one who is consumed by "racist, homophobe, misogynist, and/or greedy" sentiments. In other words, they do not know that civilized people differ--not just 'how' they differ.

The lack of civility from the (D) Party and its sheep stems from the fact that they are irrational, not that they are unused to battle.
