Right Wing Melt-Down
It appears that reality is fairly harsh when viewed through a right-wing filter. Jen Martinez, a somewhat (I was going to type "moderately" or "fairly", but neither word seemed to fit) well-known blogger on the right, totally lost it yesterday.
A couple excerpts from her posting may give some insight into the mind-set of some on the right. It's more than a little scary, but kind of enlightening . . .
It's fucking hopeless. I might as well hang it all up now. The most determined ALWAYS win. America is not determined. America has no determination whatsoever. We are not ruthless! Who are we trying to kid? Sure the pacifists always loose because they're punk ass bitches not worthy of sharing our oxygen. The point is, America is overrun with pacifists, sheeple, leftists, liberals, communists, socialists .... I have no faith in my fellow Americans. None whatsoever.. . .
Look around you at the kerry signs and bumperstickers. Americans without a clue. Americans who will hand our country to the jihadi motherfuckers so as to insure that my kids and the generations after them will be forced into slavery, or beheaded, or forced to live under that Sharia bullshit. No thanks, I'd rather die and I'll chose the time and place, if it comes down to that, thank you very much.
Doesn't this sound like the mindset of a suicide bomber?
Finally, she wraps up with:
So this is what I'm feeling today and nine times out of ten I never tell anyone these type of things. Usually no one understands and thinks I'm crazy or else they all just agree with me.Or else they all just agree with her?!?!

Wow, that's just sad. I have no idea who Jen is or what his/her real issues are, but I'd say that determination doesn't always have to be aggressive. I'm very determined to love my wife, child, and country, but doing it aggressively makes no sense.
Personally, I find the people with the most 'spine' are the people who stfu, and do what's required. Secondly, my rhetorical question is that if we have to resort to the same rhetoric and fear-driven soceity as the terrorists, then what is our civilization?

On second thought, after reading the tone and tenor of her blog, I have to file her under right-wing-whacko.
That's a technical term.

Probably hasn't got all her cornflakes in the parcel, no and neither did some of the commenters on her site, from what it appeared. I really hope they're not representative of the right-wingers, or it would be _really_ scary...

Jennifer:
If you don't think that talking about choosing your time and place of death and claiming everything is f***ing hopeless is not "losing it", then we must be speaking different languages.
Also, you "just moseyed over" to my website and called me an ass - right before claiming you didn't come to my website and insult me.
Ms. Martinez, you are welcome at my site anytime - I think you're kind of funny.
Ah, but I no longer argue with liberals and dems. First of all, you started it, remember that. Number two, I didn't call you an "ass," I said you were acting like one. Number three, I did not visit your site until after your multiple visits to mine. And yes, you keep insulting me, for what? I don't know. I don't even know you.

"Ah, but I no longer argue with liberals and dems."
I wouldn't either if my method of argument was a rather shallow combination of histrionics and despair. I'm a conservative and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you (Jen Martinez) took your puerile, potty mouth ramblings to the left wing. Unfortunately, it sounds as though the left wing would not be interested. (I guess they can't be wrong about everything, can they?)
"First of all, you started it, remember that".
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na . . . your mother wears army boots.
" Number two, I didn't call you an "ass," I said you were acting like one."
I'm sure Dan is suitably mollified now that you have clarified your intent. We understand that acting like an ass is not as bad as being one.
"Number three, I did not visit your site until after your multiple visits to mine."
Lesson number 1 for Dan: don't play with explosives. You could get hurt.
"And yes, you keep insulting me, for what? I don't know. I don't even know you."
Well, I think he believes you are representative of conservatives and your website has content that is . . . . . dramatic. Some liberals like to use the example of a few unbalanced conservatives to dismiss conservativism generally. You know, kind of like when conservatives say that liberals are amoral or immoral because Teddy Kennedy drinks too much, carouses, drives off bridges, etc. I'm not calling you unbalanced, but looking at your website, it appears that you are either very funny, or very twisted When Dan said he thinks you're kind of funny, I think he was giving you the benefit of the doubt. If your posts aren't humor or entertainment then that raises more serious concerns.
