Bugaboo fire races into Columbia county, hundreds more evacuated in the middle of the night, and I-10 threatened. It is evil of me to feel relieved that that bad boy is traveling away from me, yet I do.

Hmmmmm. I meant “generation of men reared by women”, but I suppose the meaning is the same, at least according to the talk radio pundits.

Heh. How appropriate. Perhaps instead of spending lots and lots of time contemplating poetry and gazing at navels, these “timid, gentle souls” would have been better prepared for life by by taking a self-defense course.

Now I’ve read/heard over talk radio a lot of people discussing that this is what happens when you have a generation of women reared by women in which men are largely absent, but that is not true.

An excellent poem for this post, from The American Thinker.

But I’m your friend!? (a poem)
Mimi Evans Winship
Oh, I’m happy and bouncy! Why shouldn’t I be?

I live in the land of the safe and the free.

I want everyone to be as jolly as I.

You shouldn’t worry. Let the clouds roll by.

My soul is gentle, peace and love it embraces.

War and chaos only happen in other places.

If we’re very, very nice, they will never come here.

I don’t believe in terror. I have no fear.

But what is that? I hear a loud crash!?

The sky is filling with burning ash!!???

I won’t believe this. I won’t! I won’t!

You know I’m your friend !! I’m….

Thanks for the linkie luv

I believe they don’t see because they are afraid. I believe that they are in denial and that they think if they avoid the conflict the unavoidable conflict that looms on the horizon will somehow not materialize.

Not to mention they are have been trapped in the 1960s and in their own adolescence all these years.

If all the evidence from around the world as to the nature of Islamic jihad has not convinced them, I can see nothing that can.

All I need do is remind you of Joan Swirsky's excellent piece, The Pathology of Liberalism. They are stuck in a phase of socio-political development, much like being stuck in their childhood. There is nothing you, I, or we can do to help them get the needle unstuck from the groove in the disk they are playing in their heads. Much of it is, they are still trying to piss-off Mom and Dad, so they select a philosophy, lifestyle, and *cough*friends, that will cause the most consternation. Speaking of leftard blogs, came across a post at Gateway Pundit, where someone went into the leftard septic tank, and found a very interesting post.

It's time to replace some conservative Democrats in Washington, DC. I just heard from an impeccable source that there is serious concern on the Hill that conservative Democrats in the House will vote with the Republicans to strip any and all restrictions from the Iraq supplemental tomorrow, effectively giving Bush all the money he wants with no restrictions and no effort to hold either him or the Iraq government accountable for anything.

I've seldom experienced any leftard being right about very much, but certainly wish this screeching post is true.
