And if an outbreak of Rebellion/Revolution from the Right does occur, what are the rest of us going to do? Condemn it, of course. Right? Join the Northern Command forces to put it down? No! Certainly not! Listen to the inchoate rhetoric and calls to arms from the rebels, hear their cry, and try to understand? Maybe. Join them? Never. Just don't be surprised if it happens. Be grateful if it doesn't.
It's late so I'm just going to say if that outbreak occurs on the Right, well, fuck 'em and let 'em go. I'm not interested in debating with the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity. If Palin and gang want to secede, fine. I won't try to "understand" them, I won't "join them," and although I'd be surprised if it happened (since they don't want to lose life's comforts either--a form of rationality even among the irrational), I sure as hell won't be "grateful if it doesn't."
Any other response is pure dickishness (Pedinska, I hope you noticed my effort with this last).
