Over the past, oh I don't know, 8 months and 2 weeks, I have seen some unbelievably ridiculous behavior. I've seen total nutjobs given a platform to spread their crazy. I've seen grown men weep for the loss of their country, as if it was 'their' country to begin with, not ours. This batshittiness no longer deserves my attention nor yours. Yes we must be vigilant to make sure the crazies remain nonviolent, but I can't stomach another day thinking about them. Instead...
I'll drink beer, oil cans of Fosters to be exact! Yes, that's right, I've solved my angst with a pleasurable buzz, and a malted barley aftertaste. I think we should all do the same.
Orly Taitz, the rest of the birthers, Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. need not unsettle us. They further marginalize themselves with every word they speak. They claim to be patriots, but they are the exact opposite. No matter how mad I am, they will not stop, so I'm done getting upset. These complete and utter subhuman-romulan-nut/ear-lickers won't get my goat again. That's what they are trying to do, and I won't let them have the satisfaction.
So I say we get to work fighting for what we believe in instead. Call your Senators and Representatives, or better yet, send a harsh email to Senator Baucus and donate to Rep Grayson, organize a rally, bring people on board with health reform, even though we all know most are already there. Finally, enjoy your life, and don't let every shitbird that's hurling insults on AM radio or FOX'news' get your goat. I've been so hung up on everything they say for so long, that its almost hard to sleep at night. I'm done lying awake wondering how to stop the crazies from being crazy. That cannot be done.
They cheered today when Chitown lost its Olympic bid. They drape themselves in the flag, and then spit on it when we aren't looking. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. They can say death panels with a straight face, but demand apologies for a dem saying they want you to die quickly. They cannot be dealt with. They cannot be stopped from acting crazy, but we can marginalize them to the point that they no longer matter.
Again, they can be marginalized, and we can drink beer and be merry.
