When I make the point that the Left throughout this century has only prospered when people are in poverty, angry, or in pain, I get a lot of grief. Fine. But it's true. It goes without saying that prosperity, contentment, and health are not good signs for many of them...

Thanks to the Wall Street Journal for flagging this post at Democrats.com. While the main post itself in such threads can be dismissed as some nutcase, the comments underneath are always interesting. They range the gamut from being even nuttier than the originator of the thread, to reasonable responses from mostly reasonable people:

Jesus Christ with a handbag people, I am not going to be pissed off if the economy really does improve! Not when I have REAL PEOPLE I LOVE AND CARE ABOUT who are DIRECTLY effected by the bad economy. Some of those people are starting to find jobs again, and I celebrate that with them!

I don't play politics with peoples fucking lives. I hope the economy truly does improve and I hope it starts TOMORROW. If we democrats are such a bunch of pathetic losers that we can't win on policy and on exposing Bush's lies and failures, then we deserve to lose. And even if we don't I despise this attitude that takes pleasure in the prolonged suffering of people for political gain.

Most responses here, however, seem to fall into the fingers-in-the-ears-yelling-LALALALALA! category.
