Cute Conservative Comments

CONSERVATIVES SAY THE CUTEST THINGS. Some brilliant conservative, it might have been a conservative republican united states senator, it might have been rush limbaugh, it really doesn't matter, the two are indistinguishable, made the following brilliant comment: "every twenty nine year old government employee who disagrees with the united states government doesn't have permission to commit treason, and endanger national security, then go running off to china."

Perhaps the conservative, whoever it was, and again, it doesn't matter, is overlooking the relevant fact that the twenty nine year old mr snowden wasn't asking for anyone's permission. One does not usually seek permission from the tyrannt before opposing tyranny. The united states certainly does not. And, of course, if anybody else had had the courage to expose american government perfidy, anybody else would be in china, or the bahamas, too. That means you.

It is also quite likely that the american people, whom this is, after all, all about, consider the twenty nine year old whistle blower to be a much greater american patriot, and much more valuable to the american people, than all the righteously outraged conservative politicians and talk show hosts in freedom's land. Approval of congress is the lowest of any group of people who ever sought approval, and right wing radio talk show hosts preach to relatively small choirs.

then enters sarah palin, another typically brilliant conservative, who thinks that allah should sort out the mess in syria. She might be right about that, which in itself would be amazing, but, make no mistake, sarah was not showing respect to anyone else's religion when she made use of the term "allah".

After looking up the islamic word for "god" in her dusty dictionary, she used it as a lame attempt at denigration. sarah, like most consrvative american christians, suffers from the self inflicted delusion that only her chosen religion has merit. How delightfully provincial of her! How typical! But at least the occasion inspired her to find out that people of other religions have their own names for god, and that, for her, is a beginning.
