No matter how much fear mongering, racist rhetoric or just plain stupidiy Republican or Conservative pundits practice, not one Republican will raise a voice in criticism. (I’ve often wondered what the penalty for violating that commandment is….do they take you American Flag lapel pin away?)

Domeocrats, on the other hand are different. In our culture we value a well-reasoned argument and pursue the truth (as one might define it) as the basis for our policies. Therefore when one of our own lets his ruby-red slippers come off the yellow brick road of truth, we feel obligated to call him on his heresy. In that way, we feel, our cause can remain….pure?

Dividing the party or providing the Great Republican Wurlitzer with fresh talking points doesn’t seem to matter. All that matters, apparently, is that there are those among us who can claim the intellectual/moral superiority of pointing out our collective faults.

sigh…….
