What will it take..?

Garrison Keillor said one time, that, " it is exhausting to be angry all the time.. at this administration.." I agree, I have a certain fatalist, karmic sense about it. When I was younger, and would go out in the ocean, if a particularly big wave would bowl me over, I would grit my teeth and hope and wait for it to pass, so I could come up for air. That is what I carry around these days.
All this time, I used to get very upset trying to make my case to people who perceived me as catatonic and plain mad. I have been saying for so long that this war is wrong, and that there were no WMDs, that it was a ruse invented by this cabal to get us into the war. But they would never believe me, they thought I was being a left-wing blog-reading liberal.
But lookie now, who was right all this time? The american people got punk'd (Ashton Kutcher's contribution to the world!). And mostly, the poor, and trusting are the ones that got most cheated. Their sons, daughters, husbands, wives volunteered to go off fight for what they were told was a righteous war, and this disingenous cabal not only lied to them about the purpose, but left the wounded, and maimed without the care they needed. 300 billion dollars later, there are still IEDs in Baghdad, and no healthcare for the soldiers who have come back. The defense contractors made all the money.
This Republican party is not Lincoln's party. This party is a unique cocktail that has subsumed the values of the bigoted, segregationist dixiecrats, combined with the skills of an accomplished con-man. So come 2008, if you still think the Republican party is the patriotic party, and the party of values, I have a piece of land in Chernobyl to sell you. There is no point in getting angry at them, you have to wake up and open your eyes. Don't get mad, get even, vote Obama, or vote any democrat!
