The end is not near. Tonight we take a step forward in reclaiming our country. But it is just a step. The election is not over. We must not slacken!
All over the country, GOP dirty tricks (and possibly one or two fro, our side) are undermining the democratic voting system of our republic. People are committing felonies, folks! No different that street crime, but with more victims.
We need to find the perpetrators, convict them and throw their asses in jail. Every single one of them. No amnesty, No mercy, no forgiveness! And we have to do more (under the fold).
In addition to dealing with the criminals, we also need to confront the national organizations who tried to manipulate the elections with lies and misinformation. This includes organizations like the Knights of Columbus and Church of Latter Day Saints, who attempted to impose their "morality" on the people of California. These termites undermine the very foundations of our democracy, and they cannot hide behind the First Amendment.
The constitution is not a suicide pact! All Americans are free to follow their religions wherever it takes them, but are not free to make their delusions national policy. When they do, we have the right to drive them back into their caves. We are also free to attack their lies and misconceptions, not just ab out politics, but about science and reality as well. And we have the right to liberate their children from the intellectual fraud they are being brainwashed into believing.
The "KFC" (as the Knights of Columbus were known in my little league days) and the cult of Latter Day Snakes made major errors when they entered the political arena, pouring cash into lies and misleading ads. The question of tax-exemption I leave to lawyers, but their interference in our elections is unacceptable. To safeguard our liberties we must now expose their lies and fraudulent activities, not just on te issue of gay marriage, but across the board.
They picked this fight and cannot hide behind the first amendment. The culture war is engaged. They fired the shots.We are free to fight back.
Some of the decent people in the enemy camp and realize this, as we saw in this passionate apology diary today. But the battles are just beginning, and the termites will not give up.
I expect President Obama to opt for the Kumbaya "let's all get along" approach. The progressive movement cannot adopt that surrender policy. We must fight, ever vigilant against the forces of evil that threaten our civil rights.
These are just two issues. We still don't have an energy policy, health care or peace. Or fair labor laws or a clean environment. There are many diaries yet to be written! The Kosmos will continue to expand.
So, folks, it ain't over and the fat lady isn't even warming up. Enjoy the day, take a break, then get ready to get back to work!
