Schröder loses election, self-respect, democratic principles

Bizzyblog has an interesting article. Gerhardt Schröder, who lost the election narrowly to Andrea Merkel, is acting like he won.

It's a little known fact that "Gerhardt Schröder" is the German for "Al Gore." Link...

I have never believed that people believe in democracy. Everyone believes in having his or her own way. That's a given. It's the basis of all politics; I have to relinquish some of what I want in order to achieve some of what I want.

But when religion enters politics we have a whole different kettle of fish. If my opponents are not just mistaken but evil, then it is my moral duty to oppose them at all levels and all times. If I have to break the democratic rules to achieve that, well, we all know that to make an omelette we have to break a few eggs.

What it is with these guys?

Do they not understand the meaning of good loser?

Are they incapable of saying, oh well better luck next time?

No, there are two ways to do a thing, the leftie way and the wrong way.

meaningless is right. It is their sacred duty to say hell no I won't go.
