You see, this is probably one of the most jarring revelations of your path towards sensibility: people on the right have a deep faith in the essential goodness of their fellow man. I’ll let you fill in the comparison for the left.
We have a deep faith in the essential corruption of everyone. And a deep conviction that a well-informed perspective is more valuable than faith.
–from an email exchange with Izaac Falken (of “Off The Hook” fame.)
(Not to mention the fact that I have about 5 minutes of tape from the DC protest in which a Bush supporter explains that corruption, lying, and theft are inevitable in government but God wants us to uphold the government He has put in place anyway.)
