Final Thoughts on the 2006 Elections
I will keep this brief. And not talk about it any more. I promise. I have been really impressed at how the majority of conservative bloggers have been handling the election’s onslaught. Yeah, there have been the jokes and stuff, but it seems that the majority have dealt with it well. To me, this is another example of the larger mentality that often separates the “right” and the “left”: Republicans more often than not are dealing with the reality that we have been given and try to do the best to make it better. Liberals tend to try and map reality onto what they want to see. But that doesn’t work so they often just look like whiners (or worse: incompetent). From past indicators, I have no doubt that if the Republicans had done much better, the liberal bloggers would be scathing right now. They would be bashing the right (well they will keep doing that). They would be complaining about broken ballet machines. There would be conspiracies. Of course this is all supposition, but if the past is any precedent… I guess I am just saying that I am impressed with the blogging right. Okay, no more on the elections.
[ADDENDUM] So this post makes me seem much more harsh than I really am. 
These are, of course, huge generalizations. Thanks to Julia for pressing me on the issues in the comments and feel free to read some addition to my thoughts there. I do actually like people who vote differently than me (as many in my family can attest to)! [/ADDENDUM]
