Funniest thing I've seen this week:
Posted by DeLong at February 04, 2003 02:53 PM | TrackbackAnil Dash - A Modest Declaration: So I got a copy of another extremist "manifesto" today, this one by a bunch of anti-American idiotarians who just don't seem to understand the basic principles that our great country was founded upon. What this piece of Berkeley leftist idiocy needs is a good fisking! We hold these truths to be self-evident
They're already off to a bad start. Leaving aside the fact that this bunch of clowns doesn't even identify who the "we" is, their entire premise is based on the idea that their opinions are "truths" that are "self-evident". "Because I say so" isn't sufficient evidence for anything. Typical liberal tactics.
that all men are created equal,More multiculturalist bullshit. The fact of the matter is, everyone is not the same. Some people are superior to others, and it's just a fact of life that the inferior people never seem to stop whining about.
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,Of course, this being a bunch that's half comprised of a bunch of godless atheists, they had to say "Creator", but we know what they mean. They're saying that everyone should have a bunch of special rights, just for being born.
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.Well, laaa dee da. These people wouldn't know what to do with "Liberty" if they had it. And people are entitled to "the pursuit of Happiness"? Is there some new, stronger stuff that they're smoking in Berkeley these days? Because the reality is, life can suck sometimes and you're going to just have to deal with it. You may even be — gasp! — unhappy sometimes. And there's no government entitlement that will save you from it...
Even better than the piece are the earnest comments afterwords!!!!! *tears of laughter*
