Inactive Thinking It Through
OH, THAT MARK BYRON
I had forgotten that I'd had a run-in with Mark Byron (the fellow who fantasizes about killing Democratic senators) before. Longtime readers of mine might remember it.
It was more than 13 months ago. Byron put up a ridiculous post on his blog in which he insisted that liberals were overly emotional. However, he contended, conservatives, by contrast, were all about reason. (My two posts on the subject are here and here.)
His argument was bunk then and it certainly is now. Let's just use Byron himself as an example. Just a couple of days ago, "Mr. Rational Conservative" Mark Byron launched into a deranged, irrational and quite emotional fantasy about killing his political enemies in order to give his hero W a compliant congress. It was bad enough that he thought such a horrible thing but he went much further than thinking about it. He actually wrote this horrific fantasy down and shared it with thousands of people via the internet.
Anyone who thinks more than four or five minutes can realize what's wrong with posting such a story. Yet Byron, in a fit of emotional rage, shared this story with all of us.
I think it's safe to say that Byron, through his own actions, has just proved my point about how conservatives are much more emotional and less rational than liberals.
I assume he'll grant me this now. It seems the least he can do, right?
