Constancy

Just to make sure the Earth was still spinning properly on its axis I poked my head in over at DailyKos to see what the nutjob left take on the death of President Gerald R. Ford was. There are a few thoughtful posts. There are a few serious, well-crafted analyses of Ford's pardon of Nixon (I'm not referring to the ones who argue that the pardon encouraged President George W. Bush's "lawlessness).

And then there's this one from someone identified as WIds:

I figure Ford had plenty of competition in the evil Presidents category, which I would now have to rank as:

1. George W. Bush

2. Ronald Reagan

3. Richard M. Nixon

4. George H.W. Bush

5. Gerald Ford?

6. Dwight D. Eisenhower

I figure Eisenhower was plenty evil, what with his support for Dulles, nuclear brinksmanship, and coups d'etat in foreign countries; but he also had some good points and wasn't an extremist in domestic policy. Gerald Ford probably didn't do quite as much evil as Eisenhower, but then with only 2 1/2 instead of 8 years as President, he didn't have the opportunity.

Can't you feel the blind devotion to the Democrat Party and the hatred for anyone who ever had the gall to be a Republican?
