"At least Republicans don't riot..."

I was at a meeting yesterday - in Madison no less - and during lunch, participated in a political discussion with a few people on both sides of the aisle. The discussion was very calm and for the most part thoughtful. I think everyone realized that no one was going to change anyone's mind, so we didn't even go there.

My favorite comment of the discussion came after I suggested that we were in for a long election and that we could face months of legal battles - or worse - before the election is decided. It was then that a calm voice said, "I'm not worried, Republicans don't riot."

That's both quiet confidence and an indictment against the left. One more reason I'm happy to be conservative.
