Floyd County harbors a high proportion of conservatives, a term for which I’ve freely substituted “fascists” so often lately that a former SS officer currently residing in Paraguay just emailed to ask me if New Albany might be a more comfortable place for him to live out his days than Asuncion.
Turns out that he’s an antique dealer.
Imagine that.
While we’re on the topic of sore losers lashing out at a planet rendered incomprehensible by Tuesday’s election results, one Ron Cates, Sr., contributed a letter to yesterday’s Tribune.
Reader: We’ll regret placing Obama in power.
We know nothing about (Barack Obama), yet we have entrusted the most important job in the world to him. What could we have been thinking on Election Day? How could any man with no history cast a spell strong enough to blind the majority of Americans to the facts?After the hangover has worn off and we look at this in the bright light of day, I feel we’ll be asking, “Why?” I have a feeling there will be millions of Obama supporters out there in less than 12 months who will deny ever voting for him. To this day, I cannot find a person who will admit voting for Bill Clinton, yet he was elected twice. Unbelievable.
Mr. Cates’ circle of acquaintances presumably is fairly narrow, so for the record, the senior editor voted for Clinton both times the Arkansas ran for President.
Now that I’ve been found, it’ll be interesting to see if there are others, which of course there are, even if they can’t be viewed from the inside of a bunker constructed to keep the contagion of diversity from peeping inside.
