I'm too tired to write anything profound, but lately I've had a profound revelation.  Conservatives have, as satirist Terry Pratchett might put it, gone straight through wrong and come out on the other side.  They are that fouled up.

Exhibit A: My conservative friend hammers at how scared I should be about closing Gitmo and letting Jihadis loose in our prison system to recruit more like the sicko who killed the Army recruiter.  I told him he was nuts and that I was more scared of the Russian mob. Within two weeks, a gynecologist is killed in his church, a guard is killed in the Holocaust Museum, and a nine-year-old girl who was dumb enough to be born to a drug dealer is killed along with her father in her home, all by ultra-right wingers.   I haven't heard back from my friend on Gitmo in a while.  I won't contact him because I don't have the heart to rub his face in it.

Exhibit B: Conservatives and John McCain want to bomb bomb bomb Iran.  Obama says "Let's talk" and vive la revolucione!

Exhibit C: Cheney says Obama policies make us less safe and more vulnerable to attack.  Well, then, what the Hell were he and Bush doing for most of 2001?  Anybody want to ask him that some fine Sunday morning?  Or are his post-VP 15 minutes up?

Exhibit D: Yet another GOP/christianist sex scandal.  Set 'em up, knock 'em down.  ThankyousirmayIhaveanother.

Are these people just friggin stupid?  Quick, let's go to their houses and tell them to give us all their money and we'll keep it safe and make it big, then we won't give it back.  It worked for the banks.
