After 8 long years we finally have the opportunity to heal this nation. Together we can raise America back to its position as world leader for global crisis, example of democracy, and the ideal of the success of the rights of man.
The Republicans have been demolished at the ballot box, but don't think that will stop them, here is what we need to watch for in the coming months and years.
- Fox News: Expect this water carrier to turn into a vicious watchdog organization, carefully scrutinizing and criticizing every action taken by the Obama Administration and the Democratic Congress
- Economic Disaster: The economy's blood is all over the Republican's hands, but that won't stop them from trying to rewrite history and pin this on Obama and the Democrats
- Reaching across the aisle: I'm all for bipartisanship, but this election was a rejection of conservative philosophy. This morning Joe Dumb-borough, was arguing that to bring conservatives into the fold we should adopt conservative positions on energy. We want the conservatives to come and play, but our rules. You FUCKING lost, we should extend an invite, but not adopt you failed policies
- Fiscal Conservatives: Suddenly after 8 years spending $5,000,000,000,000 with little to show for it we will see a renewed interest in being careful with taxpayer money.
- Socialism/Communism/Zoroastroism: No matter the policy, it will be hit up with crazy hyperbole to scare people into a kneejerk reaction
Oh no, I sound like a goshdarned concern troll, but here's the reasons not to fret so deeply.
- Americans aren't falling for it: This election we've seen all of these tactics being trotted out in front of Americans, and the answer has been a bored yawn followed by the middle finger
- Obama will stand by his principles: Obama is not one to waiver in the face of opposition, if we stand by him, he will stand by us
- We won't stand for it: We have seen the most amazing network of volunteers and an American public willing to wait 4-8 hours to vote, this is an America that won't be bullied anymore.
Congratulations to everyone who worked hard to get Obama elected, now we need to work hard to get the promise of Obama realized.
But for now everyone deserves to take the rest of the week off and enjoy your life, take a deep breath, and relax.
Yes. We. Can.
Yes. We. Did.
and I'd like to add Yes. We. Will.
