Useful Fools

Useful Fools has some excellent articles going right now. Here's a nice treatise on the current state of the Democrat party. John makes some excellent points and even gets Orson Scott Card's recent comments involved. From Useful Fools:

So to all you leftists accusing Bush of being a selfish traitor (but not using the word), you media toads distorting every report to make the US and Bush look bad, I say: be ashamed! When we suffer the inevitable setbacks, please try to control your satisfaction - which you haven't done too well so far; when we have successes that you can't merely ignore, try to control your dismay - which again you have failed to do so far! When you constantly take a negative attitude, remember that your words are encouraging the people killing our troops and who want to kill you and your family.

I encourage you to read both. Don't miss the comments section at the Useful Fools site, either. John responds to the typical Bush-hating rhetoric thusly:

Which just goes to show how deluded the left is these days. As the right has noticed, the election of Bush has driven the left insane. Either that or the left is extremely unprincipled, to make such serious and utterly unsustainable charges.

Just because you don't have the vision to understand why we conquered Iraq; that you don't understand that we are in a war which threatens the lives of all of us; that you somehow justify retaliation but not prevention; none of that justifies your outrageous accusation against Bush.

I don't know why I even have this blog when so many people are saying this so much better than I can.
