The left is in the third leg of their full-scale “cry-atholon” today and frankly, I LOVE IT! I remember being in their shoes when the messiah Obama was chosen two years ago. I sat quietly by while they did their end zone dances and “in-your-face” moves but now it’s our turn. Suck it up lefties and belly up to the bar for another slice of humble pie.
I’ve heard just about everything, from TV to radio, blogs and Facebook “friends” I haven’t gotten around to deleting yet, the resounding theme among them is bewilderment. They can’t begin to imagine how so many could be influenced by the hate-mongers on the right. How could we possibly want to return to the so-called “failed agendas” that got us in to this mess? They also want to us to know that we have exactly the same 18 months to prove ourselves that we gave poor President Obama. Let me brief you depressive Dems on where you went wrong and where the system went right.
The left pushed policies that they knew where unpopular, and they were warned, but chose instead to look down their noses because they knew what was better for us. What they learned last night is that this is a representative republic and thus when they were elected their job was to represent their constituents. They did not.
As for being guided by “fear” and “hate” you would have to be totally blind to the things President Uniter himself has called anyone who disagrees with his policies over the last 18 months. When you are someone who once proudly wore the uniform of this country being referred to as the “enemy” is kind of divisive and hateful wouldn’t you say? Not to mention a lot of the other things he and all the democratic candidates have said about what the right would do if they regained power.
With regard to failed agendas of the past and the 18 months He has had to fix them, I seem to recall the Dems being in charge of the House and Senate for the two years before Obama took over. If they weren’t behind the wheel on the way in to the “ditch” they were holding the map. Since then however they haven’t gotten a tow rope or called AAA, they’ve just tried to cover the car in dirt and blame the driver. Sorry, but my parents would have taken my keys away too. So the moral here is that it wasn’t just a year and a half and they were Democratic agendas that were failing!
The last thing for my sullen socialists to remember is that while you may think this is the end of the world, take comfort in the fact that someone far smarter than you foresaw this sort of thing centuries ago. A bunch of true patriots sitting around in powdered wigs drinking Sam Adams Pale Ale (I’m assuming of course) figured out that breaking the government in to branches that could keep the others in check would be a good thing. Last night we put that power in check.
I don’t care what all of the crying, sniping lefties in my world are saying today about how the change in the balance of power is a natural occurrence; I’m taking a victory lap! And now back to my jubilation already in progress...
