More to the point, I am also uneasy about this. These children of the left are teenagers with power now. Think about it. Over the last eight years, all you have heard is how awful Bush is and how stupid he is and how on 1/20 they were going to party etc. Now that the tables are turned conservatives are quiet, respectful and still proud of our country. I join millions of Christians in praying for Obama. How many times have we heard that this past week? I have heard it from almost every major conservative leader. How many times have I heard a Jim Wallis or Tony Campolo lefty Christian say that about Bush. Exactly zero. Be glad if someone could prove me wrong. I haven't heard it.
The 'reality based community' of the left are actually whiny little 13 year olds. The conservatives are classy adults who fight with ideas and action not with weasel words. But... We need to start being as proactive as the left has been. When an enviro nut gives you crap challenge them. When a lefty whines about the poor, compare how much they give versus how much you give. I know, because the data and my anecdotal observation prove, that we do better on helping the poor anyway. Being adult and respectful does not mean that we have to be walked all over.
