I give thanks O Lord for Dick Cheney’s Heart, that brave organ which has done its darn-tootin’ best on four separate occasions to do what we can only dream about. – Tony Hendra

…now evil is that?

I know that the Left doesn’t believe in any objective facts, let alone the existence of evil as a tangible entity. I understand that it cramps their “lifestyle choices” and limits their options. I can also understand that evil is seen as “repressed personal pain”, which needs to be “processed”.

They seem to see the world like Bugs Bunny. Wile E. Coyote chases Ol’ Bugs half-way across a king-hell canyon, and they stop. Wile E. looks down, makes “miserable bastard” eye-contact, and plummets to yet another acordion-like heap on the ground. Bugs smacks his lips, says “good thing I don’t believe in gravity”, and walks off camera.

Too bad beliefs, no matter how negotiable, don’t really effect us like that. Saddam wasn’t evil because we agreed that what he did was bad. He was evil because stuffing people feet-first into plastic shredders is an objective evil. It’s objective because it’s not what we think about it that makes it evil. Stalin was evil because, statistically, his body count makes Hitler the *SECOND* most effective mustachioed mass-murderer of the 20th Century. You don’t have to believe that what they did was wrong. What they did was wrong…full stop.

…and, wishing for a man’s death like this is evil. It isn’t cute, it isn’t glib or smart. It’s evil.

That’s a difference between all of the “racists, bigots and anonymous “misinformed” people here in the starbord side of the blogosphere and the Left. We may want Bin Laden whacked, but he earned it. We may want Tookie Williams whacked, but he had his day in court, he had benefit of counsel, and he earned his sentence beyond a reasonable doubt. They want people dead because they dare to disagree with them.

Donna Brazile hopes out loud that Mrs. Thomas cooks with a lot of grease, so’s Justice Thomas will die of heart failure as she says that black men tend to do with that sort of diet. She even titled a book “Cooking With Grease”. Whackos, never called into account, perform plays and even make movies revelling in the assasination of the President. This waste of perfectly good genetic material muses humorously about Mr. Cheney’s heart health. Evil, all of it.

For my part, I wouldn’t mind if Cindy Sheehan were to shut up. I wouldn’t want it to be because she contracted lockjaw, however. She’s entitled to her opinion, as extreme as it may be, whether or not she feels that I’m entitled to mine. Let her spew, so long as I have the right to reply, regardless of her “absolute moral authority”…except that the Left doesn’t think that I or you *DO* have a right to reply. That’s the problem with people who feel as if they’ve staked out the moral high ground.

I just happen to think that my views are more traditional, tried, true and practical. They seem to think, it being the only time they admit to the existence of objective facts, that their views are objectively right, and that anyone who disagrees is some sort of a heretic.

…so don’t tell me that the Left has no religion. They simply have a competing religion.

This utterance is dispicable. Mr. Hendra’s written about his conversion to Catholicism, I seem to remember. I hope he can square this with his priest. I don’t see how he can, but more power to him.

I hope that, to spite Mr. Hendra, Ms. Brazile, and any of the minions snarking-up Huff-n-Puff’s blogs that we all of us here, Right and Left, go on blogging and sending sharp ripple into their chi for a hundred years. I hope that Mr. Cheney lives to be 103…and lives to forgive them.

Then again, I doubt that he even cares. I doesn’t do to sweat the small stuff.
