Saturday reading
I realize that the Left would take Kerry's loss hard and the last few days of whipsawed emotionalism from the usual moonbat quarters -- from depressed whining to seething anger -- was not entirely unexpected. I had hoped a few days perspective would have it tapering off and some serious retrospection begin.
Yet, things like this do not bode well (via LGF):
RALEIGH, N.C. - An apparent mob of vandals attacked North Carolina Republican Party headquarters late Friday, leaving behind minor smoke damage, broken windows and vulgar messages, authorities said.
A police officer reported earlier in the night that about 100 people wearing masks and gloves were walking down a street near the headquarters, Raleigh Police Capt. D.S. Overman said. The vandalism happened between 11 and 11:30 p.m., the result of an obviously "planned and orchestrated event," police spokesman Jim Sughrue said."This is not a political statement," Sughrue said. "A political statement is what we made Tuesday. This is a crime."
Michele has launched a discussion about the left/right divide and asks some very good questions. I think this following question ...
Will those of us who look for a complete separation of church and state drift apart from those who want to legislate morality and rule with religion in mind?
...needs to be seriously discussed (which I will do in new post) because I believe it illustrates some basic misunderstandings (both intentional and unintentional) about morality, law and faith. Let me start you all thinking about this by stating every law is an expression of morality. Yes, every one.
For a quick burst of fun post-election comments, don't miss Howard Krutz's Media Notes.
And for a burst of just plain fun, James Lileks gives a too short but delicious preview of his new book, Interior Desecrations. James, those of us who lived through the 70's salute you!
In an earlier post, I took on Michael al-Moore's personal attacks (and calling for physical attacks) on GW voters. Jeff Harrell takes the same column and does the heavy lifting on Michael Moore's funny math.
And in the continuing saga of Euro-appeasement of Islamists, don't miss Live from Brussels coverage of the Theo Van Gogh murder by an Islamist and the Dutch reaction when moslems complained that the phrase "Thou Shalt Not Kill" was "offensive and racist."
