Eyewitness O'Donnell
Tony Blankley is a member of the McLaughlin Group and was an eyewitness to Lawrence O'Donnell's call for the secession of the blue states from America on the post-election show. Today in his Washington Times column Blankley meditates on the phenomenon we have been following among Democrats having difficulty coping with the reelection of the misunderestimated man in the Oval Office: "Secession."
Blankley is an extraordinarily genial observer; the mordancy of his observations is therefore particularly striking:
This dominant sentiment of the Democratic Party elite — that scores of millions of Americans are categorically unacceptable as fellow countrymen — is evidence of a cancer in the soul of that party. These Democrats, quite expressly, are asserting that "Christers," people who believe in the teachings of Jesus as described in the inerrant words of the Bible, are un-American, almost sub-human. Some of these Democrats would rather secede than stay in the same country with such people. If they were in the majority with no need to secede, what would they do? Their bigoted and absolutist view of religious people is at least a second cousin to the Nazi view of the Jews.
