The angst of the Left is worse than anything I've ever seen. National Review today has a partial list of the rabid ravings of some of our elites while leaving out a ton of other more maudlin howls. My take on all this is that the Left view politics as their religion. Whenever they lose an election it means that their God has failed. They think Jesus was a jerk off but that their politics are sacred. The Left expects that all their prayers and all their work must always result in material return; more votes. Votes must be counted as the business leader counts his return on investment. Japanese business failures kill themselves. A couple of Democrats have killed themselves, while others are in expensive therapy.

Had the Red State hooligans lost there would be no deep psychological reaction other than "aw fuck," a downed six pack or a few smoked joints, or perhaps---my particular favorite---a grudge fuck. The ones who were really upset would have gone to church and then most likely let it go til next time.

Our elites have nothing else to do during half their days but sit around posh eateries, private clubs, or sequestered communal watering holes and gossip with other gifted intellects much like themselves. All think the same. Nobody disagrees with anyone. They ain't kidding when they say "nobody I know voted for (fill in the blank). Like the cloistered monks of yesteryear they think everything they do, think, or say is "the word of God's messenger."

We all need spiritual healing. The Godless get it through revolution, strikes, and full page ads in The New York Times declaring their faith. That is what we are seeing now. Don't make the mistake of thinking they will just go away. They will pretend Christianity and Bible learning together with moral values. They go to political church every day. They are fanatics and don't forget it.

And now for something completely different: The Turks are getting ready to rumble (Link to World Net Daily). Their prime minister, a guy named Necmettin Erbakan, is an Islamist. It was he who refused to let us use Turkey to invade Iraq and he is now threatening invasion of Iraq in order to prevent Kurds from taking over. This is a near century old conflict which i posted about HERE.
Do yourselves a favor and read it. This is a potential disaster for us in Iraq. The EU will love Turkey and let them in the "club" should they stick it to us.
