We're Not Sorry

So says another group of shutterbugs, in counter-protest to the frankly silly Sorry Everybody site from the left. The opening picture says it all: the tin assault rifle embedded in multicolored fuzz embedded in the sole of someone's foot.

The photo gallery is far more impressive than anything that the Left has to offer. By the captions, a few of the submitters are sorry--that Kerry carried their State. (Maybe Osama bin Laden's advance promise of dhimmitude to the Kerry States had something to do with that, though along that line, this might give pause to the other side.) Others say that they are not sorry that they helped deliver their State to Bush.

The webmaster said that he wouldn't post anything that had "too much" foul language, and as to that--well, I personally wouldn't have posted some of the submissions without doing some light editing, but you will see nothing here with any of the foulness that the other site had. A few of the photos are of women dressed less than modestly. (My standards of acceptability in women's fashion are somewhat tighter than those of most of society, including my fellow conservatives, but that's a topic for another day.) But most of the pictures are perfectly acceptable even for children.

About one-fourth of the pictures are of people holding rifles or shotguns--not pointed at the camera (except for the one of the business end of a Taser), but usually carried in the "port arms" position or something close to it. (Some of the men are clearly at target practice.) People have also submitted photos of their pets, usually cats (the one of the cat saying that she is purr-fectly delighted is the best so far), but dogs, too.

And then you have the gallery of photos that are obviously doctored--like the one showing Dan Rather holding up a sign telling Osama to show courage, and blaming the bloggers for wrecking everything. My favorite is the Charlie Brown parody. (Now I'm sorry--that I can't link to any of the photos. But look it up and you'll see.) Several signs feature USA Today's excellent county-by-county map, which I hope will become a USA Today tradition. Several other signs feature one prominent Democratic politician who very probably isn't sorry--Hillary Clinton. (Actually, I'm not laughing.)

Finally, there's the companion blog. Only three posts on it so far, but a lot of commentary, not all of it flattering, but more proof that the Democrats and their sympathizers are certifiably insane.
