To get back to the subject at hand, a New York Magazine reports on [National Review magazine’s Post Election Cruise](http://nymag.com/news/features/republican-caribbean-cruise-2012-12/). If this is representative of the Conservative leadership, the poor dears are angry, frightened, and haven’t a clue. While there were a few thoughtful comments, more were like this: > [@](#): > > Pardon me, madam, but I have been in your country of Australia for ten days and the only Aborigines I’ve seen have been drunk on the street, and at least if we were in my country they would be serving the drinks at this conference! ---

I watched this documentary yesterday, > **[Rare Exports (2010) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1401143/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)** > > Rare Exports: Directed by Jalmari Helander. With Onni Tommila, Jorma Tommila, Tommi Korpela, Rauno Juvonen. In the depths of the Korvatunturi mountains, 486 meters deep, lies the closest ever guarded secret of Christmas. The time has come to dig it... and yes Santa is evil. ---

> [@Trepa\_Mayfield](#): > > I wonder how many similarities Santa Claus and Adolph Hitler have? Well, Hitler was Austrian; St. Nicholas/Kris Kringle is Greek by birth and kindasorta Dutch-American by adoption; but they’re both more German than anything else. On Donner! On Blitzkrieg! ---

Good lord, how delusional can these people be? I was watching Hardball today. Chris had a prolifer on the show: Chris: So how do you respond that all the polls show in favor of a woman’s right to choose? PL: Well, we think those polls are wrong… They’re skewed to the left and the questions are misleading… Really lady? Were you not here for the last election cycle when all you righies thought the same thing about the Presidential polls that favored Obama? Man, talk about thick headed. ---

Well… the election _was_ skewed to the left and the question (Obama or Romney?) _was_ misleading as it presupposed that Romney was a viable candidate for President. 😉 All snark aside, good point. ---

Irrational comments made in the comments section on an article posted on the Internet? Well I never… And we have our own loons on the SD. Usually on the liberal side but the right wingers don’t stay quite for long. Oh and welcome to the Internet. ---
