The Sadness In Their Eyes

Honestly, I'm not gloating here (hell, my candidate didn't win either). But this is hilarious- hilarious in the kind of way that prudently prevents you from lecturing people to grow up, hilarious in the way that stops you from screaming at people for being the self absorbed hypocrites that they are, hilarious in the way that impedes your desire to pimp slap someone for purposely ignoring reality and seeing only what they want to see, when they want to see it.

Shock(ed) and Awe(d).

These folks genuinely believe they have been wronged, betrayed and rejected by their fellow Americans who are all too willing in their ignorant misguidedness to fall under the mind altering spell of a Muslim from Kenya who has bankrupted our entire country into moral and economic oblivion...


They were happily silent and content when W raped and ravaged our nation's surplus (created by a Democratic President they desperately sought to impeach) for eight long years and launched two wars (one based solely on a torrent of hubris and deception)- each at the cost of two hundred million dollars each and every damn day! Some reason, they just never bring that up. There's never a problem when venal, rich, White men completely gut a company or an entire economy before our very eyes, and then take flight in it's last dying days for someone else to clean up and take blame. Shit, that's what we got people the color of Obama for anyway- but they take orders, they're not supposed to... give them.

And that's why these particular Americans can now see, that's why they have awakened from their undisturbed slumber en masse as the cold night water ruthlessly encroaches on their 1st Class, luxury cruise ship suites; only to awaken to their true nightmare- a "darkie" fervently trying to right a desperately leaking and rudderless vessel they had contently let sail on an eight year odyssey of economic blunder. Who let him on deck- let alone take the wheel?

Yup. I give the older folk credit for hiding it behind the tears, but no doubt- there's a whole lotta hatin' goin' on...

I can almost forgive the young'ns, many of 'em so young and naive. But the party who "create their own reality," who have no use of fact checkers, ran what was basically a faith based initiative. They expected The Man Upstairs, or the Angel Moroni, or one of those guys to deliver. Believe and you will receive; basically they were all relying on... an entitlement program! Instead, they got bum rushed by reality- Big Time!

The GOP has a perverted interpretation of what the Bible says. In the Bible it clearly says we are to look after our brother, something the GOP chooses to ignore. Their spin unfortunately is directed at the Biblically uneducated or those that are so full of hatred that they pick and choose what they want to accept from God's word. To be a Christian is to accept and practice what is taught in it's entirety. Not just what supports your specific brand of prejudice. The GOP is so far from being "faith based" as can be possible. Their propaganda is aimed at weak minded angry white people.

That's basically what any brand of "fundamentalism" is all about- you strip things down to whatever you want to make of it, then claim it's the real deal.
