Reply #32: Apoplexy "R" Us [View All]

[dpibel]

Excuse me if I think you have me confused with someone else. I'm in the habit of questioning the entire system we've got going here, but I think you will search in vain for the posts in which I go all apoplectic on the Democrats in general or any Democrat in particular.

I think in your range of choices from one to two, you leave out a third possibility: Don't applaud.

That is not revolvers nor walking out nor even booing.

I think, however, if you were to run the tapes of Clinton's SOTUs, you would find more than a few instances of Republicans sitting in stony silence at critical points, and maybe even a few boos.

This is not revolutionary. But refusing to applaud the perpetrator of an unjust war hardly seems to me out of line.

Call me Pollyanna if you must.

But, boy, when somebody calls me apoplectic, it just makes me all, well, you know, apoplectic.
