Palin And Victimhood

The real problem, in my view, is that there is a subset of Americans who believe that government is illegitimate if their chosen leaders aren't elected. They simply don't believe in democracy. Voting is a ritual for them, something one does, like go to church. But it's expected that their preferred leaders will always and their preferred agenda is the only one that will be enacted. (In one of the greatest ironies ever, they are undoubtedly the same people who stuck with George W. Bush to bitter end --- the most illegitimate president ever.) They get very, very agitated and angry whenever they are not "in charge." (Sadly for them, they never actually are.)

ALSO: Memo to conservative morons: there's a perfectly good all-American term to express your perpetual feeling of victimhood here, it's called "waving the bloody shirt."

You don't have to use the phrase "blood libel." It's inappropriate to use the term cavalierly at any time, but especially inappropriate when the real victim was Jewish.

1. In the same vein...

You'll often see right-wingers trot out the "three simple solutions" mantra: "Soap box, ballot box, ammo box." This always makes me wonder... if you're going to resort to the ammo box anyway, why even bother with the first two? You're just a thug who insists on getting your way, the opinions of your fellow citizens be damned.
