56. Yes, Dem-Hating-Leftists
Thanks for the link. I'd forgotten how well I made all of those points about the fundamental responsibilities for how we got here politically, and how dishonest and intentionally obtuse DHLs are when it comes to not owning up to the culpability for what their self-righteous political treachery has wrought. I already knew they didn't have anywhere near the honor or integrity to face it, so I wasn't expecting any other response than what I got.

Oh, and Dem-Hating-Leftist isn't really a meme or something I'm coming back to. It's a simple, direct characterization of leftists that will never accept the Democratic party's political positions. It is more or less a permanent, though always changing category, depending on the people and politics of the times. They hated Al Gore, now they love him. They loved Nancy Pelosi, now they hate her. Etc, etc, etc.

The many angry, Democrat-attacking progressives on this board, and others, really are Democrat-Hating-Leftists. It's just accurate terminology. They deeply resent the way the Democratic Party represents progressive beliefs in political practice. You may not see them in the same way that many of us see them, but they are absolutely a distinct subset of political leftists.
