SHOW SOME COMPASSION TO THE LEFT

It has to be a really difficult time for them right now. The election is over and all they have left to do is to go back to their empty lives. No more purpose. No more meaning. We on the right still have what we've always had, so we're fine, but they only have their nihilistic post-modernism and bankrupt cultural marxism. It has to be cold comfort. Maybe we should try to show some compassion for these folks. And think about it- with the presidency and both houses theirs, they don't have anyone left to yell at, no targets for their seething anger and hatred. Can you image what it must feel like to have to deal with all of that and not be able to put it on someone else? Its not like the political situation will change their underlying mental health issues or anything. What will happen when things start going to hell because of their policies? Who will they blame? I think its time we put aside our petty, partisan differences and extend the hand of kindness to these poor unhappy people.

Greg understands their pain:

For most of my adult life I have always been amused by the phrase, "speaking truth to power," a strange amalgam of words that roughly translated, means: "shouting at people who remind me of daddy."

The only people who think they can speak truth to power, of course, are liberals. It is a self-satisfying exercise for them: a wonderfully therapeutic wash of emotion derived from throwing a pie at a conservative speaker on campus, or calling her a Nazi. Or both.

In academic and media circles, though, this so-called act of bravery possesses the risk level of playing solitaire without a helmet.

That`s why speaking truth to power is a sham: you can`t do it, if everyone around you agrees with you. Speaking truth to power can only be heroic if there`s a possibility you could lose something: your freedom, your life, your job, your Gucci sandals. Speaking truth to power is supposed to fuel unpopularity, and come at a cost.

Which is why the Obama presidency could be totally awesome. I mean, imagine if all the people who pride themselves on speaking truth to power end up speaking truth to power to the Obama administration – which consists of people who normally speak truth to power! If this actually happens, the earth could implode and I may have a complete nervous breakdown.

I may even have to move to Belgium. But don`t count on it. I hate wallabees.

And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler!
