Redstate Paranoia

When discussing the outcome of the Presidential election, Dan McLaughlin at REDSTATE has put together a "survival guide".

These are the ones I found most interesting:

(1) Oppose Obama, Not America: The absolute wrong way to react to life in the minority is ... well, what we saw from too many people on the Left the past 8 years: calling everyone from the President on down to individual soldiers and Marines war criminals, parroting the propaganda of our enemies, exposing classified national security secrets on the front pages of the newspapers, and generally doing whatever possible to stymie the national defense and convince the nation and the world that America is the bad guy. We're better than that. When Obama fails to act to defend America and its interests and allies, or violates the basic common-sense principles of national security and foreign policy, we will of course be unsparing in our criticism. But we should not emulate the Left; indeed, the day may even come when Obama needs defending from the Left for doing what needs to be done, and we certainly want to encourage him to take actions that provoke that reaction.


It appears that Dan doesn't seem to realize that opposition was directed to person/persons we felt were responsible. It was the Right that jumped up and down, pointing their finger while shouting "Anti-American!" It was all a complete fabrication on their part so they wouldn't have to face facts and confront an issue head-on.

(8) Watch Your Budget: We're all going to have to prepare for tougher economic times, plus the burden of Obama's tax hikes. Don't overextend your own finances.


I'm not entirely sure what planet Dan has been occupying over the past 8 years, but the economy hasn't been all that wonderful. Plus, this is just common sense. The rampant hysteria that has threaded itself through the Right is down-right laughable.

This next one speaks volumes.

(10) Buy More Life Insurance: Well, at least if, like me, you live or work in a city that's a top terrorist target, and have roots too deep to leave. Our risk tolerance will have to go up.


It's this type of paranoia that is sown through ignorance or just plain stupidity. In Dan's case, I'm assuming that it's a healthy dose of both.

Be on the lookout for more nuttiness, it's sure to boil to the top sooner rather than later.
