Yes, as harsh as that may sound, get that into your head. This country will be run for the next four years by people who owe a lot to the Freepers, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, etc etc. America, one nation, under God, Bush and Rove.
Get ready, America, for the country you've chosen:
1) A Supreme Court dominated by the appointments of a man who thinks Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are judicial shining lights.
- A more conservative Senate (flag-burning amendment, school vouchers, prayer in schools, gay marriage/gay civil union ban).
- Who knows how many more dead American soldiers in Iraq. Not to mention how many innocent civilians (you know, the ones we're "liberating") will die as well. With their blood on our hands, can we really say we're operating under a "moral values" agenda that finds every human life precious?
- A deficit that may wind up making our currency about as strong as that of the Weimar Republic's in its dying days.
I'm sure I could come up with more, and maybe you can, too. But I'm tired, and angry.
This is not sour grapes. We lost pretty much fair and square. George Bush has the right to run the country on the mandate America has given him.
America, whatever happens in the next four years, you deserve it. This is the country you chose to be on Tuesday.
