"I am not going to let some Bush, Dick, and Colon ruin my country." All i have to say to that is ME EITHER, ANGY!!!! because we all know dicks fuck... oh... i'm going to leave that be before i get into some serious trouble. I'm damn tired of all these people who are belly-aching about the election as this domination of the idiot class. so it's not what you wanted, deal with it. it's not what i wanted, either. frankly it's a bad choice for the country, but we're here for a reason. perhaps it's time to reevaluate you liberal ideas, guys. perhaps people are seeing that they really don't work and never will. even Compte, writing in our country's infancy, foresaw these problems and completely refuted both sides. searching for equality is stupid, some people are just stupid, some people are just smart, some are just motivated and some just aren't. we aren't going to change it by having quotas. you want real equality, try for equality of opportunity early in life. good elementary and secondary schools. get everyone started well. then it's up to you to succeed or not and color or class don't even matter at all. don't try to fix the problem when someone's 20, it's too damned late at that point. and don't socialize our country, our system is blown out of all proportion in the first place. unrestrained capitalism may not be the answer, but we've clearly seen that socialism and communism aren't, either, so just give those ideas up because they don't work. you want to know why the republicans won? they're saying something marginally new. they're in line with the majority. liberals used to be but now they've lost touch with what reality is. deal with it, get realigned to the majority and then make your changes. oh, and try to not be in complete support of fringe groups that most folks are insulted by, a little support for them helps because it's tolerance and freedom but not like we see now. you've lost ground supporting such things as homosexual marriage because it offends the majority of americans. and guess who has the political power? oh, yeah, the majority. getting them on board, now that might help. and...rant over. yay, i've been reading too much political stuff again and needed to blow off some serious steam.
