From a quote by Jonah Goldberg, editor-at-large of National Review OnLine in an article entitled, "Sorry, but Obama scares me": "Before our very eyes, America stands poised to elect as president the most radical man ever to run for this office credibly. Don't say we didn't warn you." I won't repeat the other invective in his article, some of which I believe is untrue and scurrilous, and some of which, as I'm fond of saying, is pure wish-fulfillment fantasy.
If you stand back from the tone of the article and the quote, what seems quite apparent to me is that this is (a) either a defense of the status quo, which is what McCain winning the election would be, or (b) scaring oneself, first of all, and then scaring the rest of the world because a Democrat, and a Democratic majority, would be put in place to replace what the God-awful Republicans (and, I hasten to add, some Democrats) who have been in power have done to wreck this country and bring it to its knees.
It's rather sick to keep complaining about an on-coming Democratic majority running things without offering any concrete alternative solutions that can work to get us out of this mess. It's actually downright irresponsible, and I accuse Jonah Goldberg, and those who groan and moan along with him, of being just that ... irresponsible.
Let's see what these people can do, might be a more mature and smarter attitude. What can we do to help them? might also have a place. But, no, it's denigrate and divide, them versus us, as if you, Mr. Goldberg, and your followers don't live in this country, don't suffer the consequences, have no responsibility for helping to right the ship.
