See, there are the kind of folks like Auntie Sassy - who see the big picture, see the mess we're in and want to reach out a hand and work with others to make this country a better place. I call this the Obama crowd.
Then there are folk like me. Most of you know us as the Bill O'Reilly's of the world - just screechy and maladjusted and angry. There's not as many of us on the left as there are on the right, since we tend to be, you know, more empathetic, more reality based. But we're here. They just won't give us any tv shows.
But dammit, I want payback for the last eight years. I'm pissy and mad and stamping my little foot. Fuck those fuckers and bring Bush and Cheney up on charges of war crimes.
Can you fucking believe that there are already impeach Obama sites out there? I can. Because this right wing hate machine doesn't stop. It'll never stop. It will work each day to tear him down, to find his weakness, to make it impossible for him to govern. It will lie, cheat, steal and the cry to high holy heaven about the liberal media bias.
And there's nothing like it on the left. Not yet anyway. We come to the White House and we say, oh I want to be post partisan, I want to govern from the Center (and when I say I, I mean Obama because no one's elected me to do anything as far as I know). But not the right, instead they immediately start whining about Rahm Emanuel being Chief of Staff.
BTW, I fucking LOVE LOVE LOVE Rahm Emanuel. I've loved him since the clinton years. Bare knuckles, sharp elbows, whatever. He gets shit done - even if only incrementally at times - and he takes no prisoners. obama can talk about the Center and reaching across the aisle all he wants, the repubs are right - having RA as CoS is a very strong way to step out of the gate, and it's a very large sign on the front whitehouse lawn that says don't fuck with me.
I wish I were more like Sassy. But the last 8 years have filled me with so much bile (also a good indication that my liver began to shut down somewhere around '04), that I'm just not interested in being mature and kind. Think Obama and the gays and the blacks and the jews and the atheists are ruining your precious little white bread walmart inbred thicknecked country? Good. Move to fucking Texas. There's enough room for you all there and you can make it your own country again and leave us the hell alone.
Sigh I need so much therapy.

Oh Dana, you crack me up. I do agree with you and I am angry with the f*ckknob rednecks who think the world is going to end because our president is a black who might allow queers some equal ground and baby killers to run rampant in the streets.
However, the people that I know who voted for McCain are not as malicious as the folks you're referring to. If they were, I wouldn't be on speaking terms with them. I think my family is mostly just scared because he's different and they have never had to have a lot of tolerance for "different". This is because living in the midwest, they've never actually been confronted with it.
I think this will be good for them. It will be good for all of us.
