Inspiring Republicans

RECEIVED Tue., April 27, 2004

Mr. Black,
   I'm afraid your "Page Two" editorial of April 23 was a complete waste of time; most Republicans appear to have been born without a sense of irony.
   Calling legislation that strips Americans of basic constitutional rights the "PATRIOT Act," lambasting Democrats for Bush-hating after eight years of hurling excrement at Clinton, claiming that shipping jobs overseas is good for the economy (which is totally not in the toilet), blathering about intrusive big government while supporting constitutional amendments against reproductive freedom and gay marriage, claiming to be Christian while hating and exploiting their fellow man – surely they must simply lack the irony gene. The only other explanation is that they're a bunch of thundering hell-bound hypocrites.
   At any rate, all your editorial will likely inspire in Republicans is a smug sense of a job well done. Another Lib'rul Media type has seen the light! Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
