It’s time to stop rolling our eyes at the birthers and Tea Partiers, and step up to the plate and fight back. I personally shrink from engaging them because the sheer level of self-righteous ignorance displayed reminds me of a mud fight– get involved, you’re going to get dirty. The sad fact is that the more that they rant unopposed, the more that they are convinced that they are “right”, that they are a majority, that they are onto some kind of new groundswell of American opinion.
We have to get involved or these ignorant cretins will keep distracting everyone from the real business of running this country until we complete the process of sinking into a third-rate satrapy. Then they’ll stand back and blithely blame it on “liberals” and ignore their own role in it.
To quote the late, lamented Howard Beale, ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
