John Hawkins over at
Right Wing News wrote a very
good article for
Human Events Online entitled "Cutting off your Nose to Spite Your Face, Conservative Style" Here is part of the
snippet he highlighted at his blog:
"If your son hadn’t studied quite as hard as he should have for a
history test, would you hope that he flunked badly in order to, “teach
him a lesson?” If you goofed off at work a few times, do you think it
would make sense for your employer to fire you and hire someone who
spends all day sleeping in your place? If your favorite football team
lost a few games to mediocre opponents during the season, would you
root for them to lose the Super Bowl in hopes that they would be better
the next year?
The answer to all those questions is, "no." You still want your son
to pass the test, you want to keep your job, and you want to see your
team win -- which brings us to the Republican Party in the 2006
elections."
