More complicated than you think… |
Here we are a bit over a full week after the election and I am still amused
as all hell. My guy won, the idiot lost and as a result my nation is busily
doing what we need to do to secure our security for the next century. Speaking
of security, it was 15 years ago yesterday that the Berlin Wall came down and
our previous great enemy crumbled.
If you listen to the left these days you will immediately realize that I am
an ignorant, racist, homophobic slave owner (ok, that parts true) who has been
corrupted by the evil [[e2:Jedi]] mind tricks of [[wp:Dick Cheney]] while I doze
under my tractor and plot ways to ruin trade unions and dream of cheap oil mixed
with Arab blood.
At least, that’s what they tell themselves to ease the pain while they wait for counseling. I’d mention that maybe I
am none of those things, but what the hell… they’re probably moving to Canada
anyway.
“I had one friend tell me he’s never been so depressed and angry in his
life,” Schooler said. “I observed patients threatening to leave the country or
staring listlessly into space. They were emotionally paralyzed, shocked and
devastated,” he told the daily.“We’re calling it ‘post-election selection trauma’ and we’re working to
develop a counseling program for it,” said Rob Gordon, the Boca Raton-based
executive director of the American Health Association” – quote in context (hat

Some of them never did have much stomach for a hard fight, that’s why they
supported [[wp:Kerry]] in the first place. God, it must such to wake up and
realize how totally out of touch you are. Speaking of which…
“Some of us โ hopefully most of us โ are trying to understand and
appreciate the effect our recent election will have on you, the citizens of the
rest of the world. As our so-called leaders redouble their efforts to screw you
over, please remember that some of us โ hopefully most of us โ are truly, truly
sorry. And we’ll say we’re sorry, even on the behalf of the ones who aren’t.” –
from “Sorry
Everybody”
I’ll have more to say on all of this later including posting somee of my
mailing list posts… for now, enjoy the pretty Red/Blue map and realize that
it’s not all as clear as the elitist left would want you to believe as they snivel and
whine.
