Enjoy your rampage across the political forum. I really hope it does make you feel better about yourself.

One thing everyone should understand is Redux's central motivation is capital-letter White Liberal Guilt. It underlies everything he writes about politics. He imagines this neurotic misbehavior to be the road of virtue. It is not. Were it virtuous, I would practice it. Instead, I hew to the opposite, and thus can oppose tyranny more successfully than he, which is of course the more virtuous road, and one he'd much rather I didn't take. I'm pretty loud and clear about it too.

So Redux's little sneer at the end of his post is really pretty hollow stuff, intended solely to make himself feel good about his second-rater life choices. This kind of posturing is why I am neither leftist nor Democrat: I am too grown up and too solid of spirit for this kind of playing around.
