Iran and the American Left Compared
2020-01-10
[Mild snark from Glenn Beaton]
[AspenBeat] Purported leaders of American culture such as leftish Hollywood types candidly hope for death to Trump. Sadly, I can write that sentence without the metaphor-marking quotation marks around the two operative words. They are not being metaphorical.

They even fantasize about the mechanism of death to Trump. There’s beheading, shooting, burning alive, burying alive, exploding his head and, well, you get the idea.

Until they can effectuate their fatal fetish, the left name-calls Trump’s son "autistic" (even if he were, is that something to ridicule him and his parents about?), name-calls his wife a "whore" and name-calls citizens who vote for him "deplorables."

Even the Iranians don’t delightfully specify the mechanism for "death to" their enemies. In fact, Iranians now contend that their many "death to" slogans were not intended literally. And even the Iranians don’t generally name-call the wife and son of their opponents.

#1  They're deluded. Deranged. Mentally deficient.

Normal people don't obsess about politicians. If so-and-so is a Bad Person, say so. But don't call him Genghis Mussolini Beelzebub. Don't try to convince normal people of good sense that one individual has the power to make mountains fall, to turn back the tides, to get inside our heads and mind-meld and mesmerize and hack our paper-based balloting system.

Don't be so f---ing stupid.

And shut your mouth, for once. Listen. Learn.
