  "Just another brain dead liberal?"

  That's a nobody blogger right? Correct. Not representative of conservatives right? Within the frame of this point, sure. But if he was "liberal" he'd be representative of "liberals." That's the authoritarian standard.

  But for amusement sake

  In an earlier article, I unmasked a good deal of fury when I wrote of brain-dead liberals in the U.S. Congress. In that piece, I attempted to point out that, in his debilitated state, Senator Tim Johnson would fit in nicely with the likes of Harry Reid, Teddy Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton, and other liberal scoundrels.

  Apparently, some liberals were not amused. Typical comments included:

  “I am calling John an Asshole”

  “Pathetic and immoral POS”

  “Fuckhead”

  “Shameless piece of shit”

  “Douchebag”

  I have not been so maligned since my fourth birthday, when my mother called me a rotten son-of-a-bitch. She never grasped the irony of that remark, but she is a liberal — language and logic do not come easily to those on the left.

  In evaluating all of the brilliant comments posted on basilsblog.net, I have wondered what I might have done differently to make my point more palatable?

  Perhaps if I had called President Bush a stupid, arrogant, lying, corrupt, good for-nothing, bloodthirsty, right-wing nazi, Adolph Hitler clone, liberals would have been more comfortable?

  Or perhaps my critics would have been more accepting if the article had been presented in Spanish and/or Arabic?
