REALITY IS FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T HANDLE CONSERVATISM

If we ever wondered how right-wingers see the world, well, this quote from a right-wing blog tells us everything we need to know:

I notice in the news today a lot about Gitmo and the treatment of terrorists. I notice a lot about how bad the economy is (which is an out and out lie). I notice a lot of interviews with democrats like hillary and john kerry about how we need to get out of the ‘quagmire’ of Iraq. I notice there are reports about the outrages our troops are doing to the poor terrorists.

I see NOTHING about our Soldiers being captured, tortured, having their eyes gouged out, and finally being murdered by decapitation.

That by itself is enough for a declaration of war.


I guess it never occurred to this blogger to, y’know, read a newspaper, or turn on a news broadcast, or go to a news site on the Internet, given that those are considered among the best ways to find a news story, if a news story is what you’re looking for.

Here are 3,490 Google News hits for "Menchaca" (the surname of one of the soldiers in question).

And here's yesterday’s front page from an obscure paper called The New York Times, which had as its lead story "U.S. Says 2 Bodies Retrieved in Iraq Were Brutalized."

Naah -- if you're a right-winger, you pay no attention to any of that. It doesn't exist.

Instead, you declare war. On your countrymen. For failing to do something they've actually done.

Rage junkies. Blinded by rage.
