Gribbit's Feigned Courage in the Face of Imaginary Oppression

By Ed Brayton

Boy, I've really missed Gribbit. It had been many months since I'd looked at his website and I'd nearly forgotten how endlessly entertaining he can be. I especially like this post where he gets himself all riled up about an imaginary future when those godawful liberals round up conservatives and haul them before star chambers and then bravely asserts the courage he fully intends to show once that happens. The lack of self-awareness is on full display:

Liberals in or out of power have a nasty streak in them that suggests that whatever they are willing to do in order to achieve their goals, Republicans must be doing it at well. I'm not going to pretend that some Republicans don't do these things but on the whole, the Party shies away from such tactics.
