But that's not a personal attack? The entire post is dripping with disdain and disrespect. Just charming. An example to us all.

And before you or someone calls me out for parsing your post, YOU reposted it so we could all see how you expressed yourself.
The reference to "you" when used towards folks on the left can be applied to many of us, currently. In this country, we have often been wusses because of the American political system.

We think of ourselves (Americans) as being so damned accepting, but that's a big fat myth. The Left has been persecuted in the name of "democracy" many times in our history. In the past century, we've endured the 1920s-50s Red Scare (incl. anti-unionism, Communists being executed on faked treason charges), McCarthyism, Pro-Cuban Revolution citizens losing jobs and homes, peacefully protesting students shot and killed on a college campus in Ohio by US National Guardsmen (most students were just passing to classes-not even involved), voter registrants brutally killed in MS, on and on.

We (leftists) have every reason to be very cautious given the current political climate; however, a survey of history should give those believing us to be meek, proof that we are anything but.
