Cynics Without a Cause

A very smart friend of mine told me recently I was a cynic, but that "cynicism is fine, as long as you have a passion to make things better."

The Democrats are cynics -- but their passion today appears to be twofold: find any scheme that will regain them the power of their glory years, while heaping vitriol and bile upon those they find so appallingly stupid (i.e., anyone who disagrees with them).

These self-appointed geniuses, though, can't grasp the obvious point that the two steps in their program are like matter and antimatter -- put 'em together, and POW -- annihilation!

The always-brilliant Mark Steyn makes the point here.
