Smoke on the Water: Us, or Them?

Captain Jim of Smoke on the Water posts about conservatives complaining about the President Bush's new approach on immigration. As he states:

Remember this though. I'm just as committed to: 1. The Fence. 2. NO AMNESTY. 3. Militarization of the border, as needed. 4. Instantly deporting all illegal alien felons. 5. Cutting off the "carrot", i.e; the social services which support so many millions of illegal aliens. 6. No "fast track" to Citizenship, other than that which any Legal Immigrant must accept.

We expect the Moonbats to be unreasonable, but the some on the right are taking on the same tones and use of unreasonable logic. One lesson we should learn from the left, is that progress towards ones idealistic goals takes time and patience. We need to accept victories in steps, and in the directions we are heading. When working toward goals, the directions we are headed for is whats all important. President Bush didn't give us all the want, but has made a dramitic change in direction on where were headed. He should be congradulated for giving us some of what we want, not crusified for not giving us all we asked. There is always next year. We need to press on. Jim compares the tthe reactions of the moonbats to the frothy right. I don't think he likes it.

It is bad enough to read their ragings, ravings and rants. One's head simply cannot comprehend how in their throes of hate, how any semblence of reason, logic or any sort of orderly thought process can be so lacking in an otherwise human skull.

In fact, the mere style of their hate is their hallmark, and they're justly known for their lunacy, and well laughed upon by their betters from the universe of reason and sanity. Moonbats, we call them, and rightly so.

But now, I fear for us. For the conservative blogosphere's anger towards President Bush has begun to resemble the foam flecked frothy faced insanity of the left.

And I do not like the comparison. We're better than that, and we're better than them.

Get this through your heads, my friends. We've already made a difference, we've forced the issue and are beginning to see some traction in our direction. I, too, don't think the President's speech was enough, but it was a start. A wobbly start, admittedly, but would you have no improvements at all, or can you take a breath and pause in your intemperate rage long enough to realize, that it's a start?

It's also called progress ...
