Their Good Old Days=Our Dark Ages


Maybe I was giving certain wingnuts a little too much credit when I suggested they were stuck in the 19th Century. Bud Day, Swift Boat scumbag and McCain "surrogate," is positively Medieval in his latest fearmongering rant:

One of John McCain's fellow POW's in Vietnam defended the war in Iraq, saying, "The Muslims have said either we kneel or they're going to kill us."

Tell that to your buds, no pun intended Bud, the Saudis. Or to the Jordanians. Or our Pakistani allies. Or, for that matter, to any Muslim nation with which we have a diplomatic, economic, and/or, military relationship. Geez.

You know, in one way, they certainly DO have a serious desire to harken back to the literal days of yore: they sincerely hope and wish that the citizenry of this country was/is as ignorant as the peasantry during the Dark Ages.

Well, the true wingnut believers fit the bill. But I'd like to think the rest of us are at least a bit more intelligent, or at the very least, more mature.
