The Imaginary Liberal 

A very real right-winger circlejerks on a Sunday morn ... Beth congratulates "Uno",

Get out of my bedroom, but be in the boardroom, and other inconsistencies

Obob's thought for a Sunday morning got me thinking, especially Thought Uno,

"I am confident that the hottest places in hell are reserved for the soul of sick and brutal people who hold God's creatures in such brutal and cruel contept," he (Sen. Byrd) said. He's referring to dog fighter's not those who provide the warm and fuzzy service called partial birth abortion.

-Obob

Why is it that we are appalled by cruelty to animals, but not equally outraged by the dismembering of an unborn child in his mother's womb? How come we find mutilating a corpse disgraceful, but mutilating a living being in a womb acceptable? Hell, isn't it even a crime to tamper with a grave, and yet sending an unborn child to a garbage dump is a-okay?

This is the low-intelligence and lower-curiosity right-winger confabulation of all things liberal - liberal being a concept defined as is whatever is needed to infuriate the red horde enough to look away from real-world issues like our petroleum dependence or national debt.

Here, liberal means someone who donates to PETA, believes ending a pregnancy before term is morally acceptable, and who digs up graves in search of precious metals and stones. These liberals are determined to destroy long-cherished and common sense values such as not murdering babies and leaving graves intact. At least until we need a strip-mall more than a full cemetery.

The fiction of the Imaginary Liberal is so central to the world-view of individuals such as Beth who have invested in a lifetime subscription that it doesn't occur to them to check to see if Robert Byrd voted for or against the "Partial Birth Abortion" bill. In fact, he voted for it, meaning he voted against "dismembering of an unborn child in his mother's womb."
