I usually attempt some objectivity in my posts and even though I do speak ill of Democrat policies, I try not to make intentional derogatory or inflammatory comments about the liberal mentality. The more I read comments from the left however and specifically that which equates Republicans, and worse conservatives, as a sub-species of Neanderthal, I have to return a volley of my own.
My impatience with liberal logic stems from their insistence to defend the indefensible. Specifically, the "cheap shot" by retired General Wesley Clark and his callous remark with respect to John McCain's military service. While it is contextually accurate that Sen. McCain's military service does not necessarily make him qualified to be the President of the United States, anyone with half a brain would understand that the comment was intended to minimize his service when evaluating McCain vs. Obama.
What is it about the "Left Brain," or more succinctly, what is left of their brain that is incapable of rational thought? It is now quite clear that those on the left don't think. They obtain their directions and decision criteria from the media. No wonder Obama is such a deity to the left. Everyone involved from the general himself to Obama quickly downplayed the remark and insisted that is was meant purely in the context in which it was made. The deed was done however and the mainstream press immediately went to work to paint a picture of the insignificance of McCain's service as it relates to November's elections.
In this instance, the talking point was introduced by Wesley Clark. It was amplified by the press and now the only thing that is left of what the left brain can process is that McCain's military experience doesn't qualify him to be president. Amazing! Proof of the degradation of the mental process of objective ability in the left brain, is that such logic would have to lead to the conclusion: If exceptional military experience does not equal qualification for president, then no experience is an automatic reject.
The left bases its logic on Obama's qualification as one of judgment and character. Bingo! By that logic, everything from his indiscretions with illegal substances in his youth, to the highly questionable character of those with whom he associates, Obama should be toast. I can seem them now in my mind's eye, skipping down the lane singing "if I only had a brain." What moves me to near depression is that the brain dead are legally allowed to vote in spite of their impediment.
