CNN Headline: America Has Spoken

... And it's said we're greedy small minded assholes!

I have odd listening patterns in my car when I am on my way to work I have 5 different stations of NPR programmed into my radio all of which seem to play the same programming during the day with varying amounts of static. Their liberally biased coverage helps me get through my long days of killing babies and pushing through the gay agenda.

I do have to give Republicans kudos on a couple of things... First of all they have been able to mobilize the fundamentalist religious base. A group of people that no matter how logical or how many facts they are presented with stay steadfast with their dumbass ideas. This works both in religion and in politics. Religious ideals are one thing and I would never fault anyone on having them no matter how stupid I may think they are. Religion cannot be proven or disproved, you can tear apart the bible all day long but in the end it just comes down to faith. Politics is not religion, you cannot just take it on faith that your candidate will will do the right thing.

The other brilliant thing that they do is in their dodging of questions, and I know that both parties do this but the Republicans are so much more devious about it. And it is not just the big fish, it's everyone from the president down to the guy who cleans GOP toilets. If they are pushed on a question they don't like they first of all try to dodge it, then they answer it in the most vague way possible, and then they attack the interviewer in whatever way possible to try and change the subject, then (if it comes to it) they walk away. They have found a way to say that they have answered the question and walk away without their base thinking anything but that the interviewer is obviously some sort of communist/Nazi/terrorist/collaborator/spy.

It is terrible to have your delicate child like innocence broken. Sure I was already a bitter radical who fought against the establishment but at least I thought that there we a majority of people out there in the country (even if they hadn't voted before) who also understood how important certain things were. I have now realized that most people are not basically good, certainly they probably think they are but most people are more concerned with entertainment value than they are about actual political debate. Most people are more concerned with their own petty little problems then helping their fellow man get clothes, food, housing, education, a job, health care and the like. "I can't pay $40 a year for children to be edjumacated, goddammit!"

Why are Americans voting again schools, why are Americans voting to restrict the rights of other Americans, and why are Americans voting for a man who has killed tens of thousands of people for a war he decided to wage well before September 11, 2001. What the fuck is wrong with us? This is America, we have done terrible terrible things in the past but for the most part we keep moving forward making sure that freedom is our goal. So why now have we set ourselves up in a position where we will be moving backwards for the next 4 years at least and beyond that all our civil liberties are now at stake with whatever judges will be appointed to the Supreme Court.

So what I have decided is that we just need to keep on doing what we have done all along. All the good decent people of this country who truly love it and the ideals that it was founded upon (not so much the actions) have to actually send letters out every single week to their congressmen, their senators, the White House, The President himself, his father, god, and any other entity you can think of who can possibly knock some sense into people in the next 4 years.
