Derangement Cuts Across Ideological and Party Lines

Listening to a sampling of talk radio today has forced me to conclude that conservatives and Republicans are as likely as their counterparts on the other end of the ideological and political spectrum to be emotionally unbalanced, irrational, and deranged .

Callers to conservative talk radio shows seem unable to accept the notion that President Obama acted with cool prudence and effectively did his job in ordering the Navy to rescue the American sea captain from the Somalian pirates who had been holding him hostage. In addition to denying that obvious fact, the wingnuts seem enraged that he did so and that his decision had a wonderful outcome about which all Americans should be joyful.
