Leftism Is As Leftism Does

I put up a piece a couple of days ago called Leftism Is where I said:

Leftism is the elevation of fear and anger over courage.

I note that today I have recieved the most marvelous anonymous comment.

... and rightism is... fascism? trampling on everything is sight just because you can? adrenaline-fueled ego trip? jingoistic popinjay sycophantism? childhood abuse/PTSD-induced rage? oh yes I forgot spare the rod and spoil the conservative

Well I had a snappy comeback.

I see your fear and anger have overwhelmed you.

In other words.

Suspicions confirmed.

It's funny that he used the word 'popinjay' -- Wikipedia attributes the word's resurgence to George Galloway, and of course it's used incorrectly.

Looks like you stole one of my favorite commenters away from me!

This totally calls for a Star Wars quote. Clearly your commenter is on the path to the Dark Side.

Aaron Davies · March 13, 2007 11:44 PM

Your commenter?

Go ahead! Make fun of my grief.
