Shot In The Dark: Yucky Neighbors With Gall

September 20, 2005

Yucky Neighbors With Gall

Katie from Yucky Salad With Bones has joined the ~~Ladies Neocon Auxiliary~~ MAWB Squad.

Just as long as she leaves her neighbors at home.

A family who lives on my street has a son who returned Friday night from an 18 month stint in Iraq. They sent out an email to everyone on the block, saying they had learned soldiers really just want to rest when they get home, but would it be OK if they lined the street with little American flags for his homecoming?

I don’t know all the details of what exactly transpired next, but I do know that some other folks on my street took great offense at this request, to the point where the soldier’s mother was in tears.

What brought her to tears? Read the post.

It didn't end well, natch.

olitics aside, I don't care what your view on the war effort is, I don't care if you're offended by the sight of an American flag and that on your own house you fly a flag of the planet Earth, here is a kid who has lived on this street his whole life as opposed to the few years you've lived here, who has been in a war zone for a year and a half and is now returning home to his parents, you know, those nice people who made that great chicken salad for the last block party, remember? So maybe what you should do, since you pride yourself on being so very open minded and kind-hearted, is bring him a pie and tell him you're glad he's home.

Because it wasn’t about you, believe it or not.

Of course, Katie, everything is about them. Smug self-righteousness animates so much of the local left. Like any person of intense fundamentalist faith - in this case, faith in the true religion of the metro left - they follow in the footsteps of their prophets, Wellstone and "The Honeywell Project" and Berrigan and Sheehan; they obsess over symbolic tokens of their beliefs, like solemn, somnolent vigils and sign-waving...

...and waving their bigotries in the faces of those they disagree with. Even if it's their neighbor's kid. No true believer is going to let petty minutiae like friendship or social skills or tact get in the way of salvation.
