True colors

Jonathan Cohn lets slip his true colors in this really revealing piece of the attitudes of too many leftists, and conservatives, and so many folks, sadly.

Should We Laugh? Cry? Both?

"To be sure, Liberals can flex their muscle, too. Bernie Sanders made very clear, in his own statements over the weekend, that he wasn’t guaranteeing to give his vote--particularly if conservative Democrats (and former Democrats) extract even more concessions.

Sanders is right to play hardball like this, but, at the end of the day, it’s hard to imagine he’d cast the vote to kill health care reform. He simply cares too much about the people even a weakened bill would help. The same goes for Sherrod Brown, who’s emerging as a leading voice for progressives. Their interest in helping their fellow man is, in strategic terms, a great weakness."

You see, for too many leftists, as, sadly, with too many conservatives, and just pricks of all stripes, genuine concern for others cannot be interpreted as anything other than weakness.

Why?

Because it helps Jonathan sleep at night knowing that he's such a shithead. Oh, and giving a shit gets in the way, apparently, of the exercise of overwhelming power.

It couldn't possibly be that Jonathan Cohn is a sanctimonious, self-centered prick who can't even imagine that he might be wrong, on this or any other issue. You know. Exactly the type of guy that folks like Baron de Montesquieu, James Madison, and Lord Acton were trying to check and keep away from power.

This guy's got to be a real winner as a husband and father, doesn't he?

"Sorry, honey. I can't make love tonight. It demonstrates weakness."

Or maybe you're just a dumbass, Jonathan, who can't quite face the fact that your poor policies and means are getting your ass beat in the last and next election.

Hmm. What do you call proud dumbasses who keep losing because they don't give a shit about people?

Weak. That's what I fuckin' call them. You know. Folks who whine like a little bitch while they're losing because they can't acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, it's them.

Jonathan doesn't want to look weak. So he whines like a little pussy about how his weak-ass, cowardly efforts to force Americans to take on obligations they think are a bad idea are not persuasive enough to win public support.

In every circle I've ever swam in that is called weak.

Hitler was weak like this.

And that little bitch lost, motherfucker.

You will too, Jonathan.

Except, like every other motherfucker who has espoused force as a governing philosophy, noone will give two shits when you eat dirt.

Because you're such a fuckin' prick, that's why.

And you deserve to eat some topsoil.

Enjoy, Jonathan. From the bottom of my heart. Enjoy.
