Thursday

These types of emotions are luxuries that we cannot afford. A common theme among those who angrily shout "DO SOMETHING!" is an obvious desire that the Democrats must immediately and instantly cure everything that ails this country... RIGHT NOW, DAMN-IT! RIGHT FN NOW! (As if our party was the majority party, or the SUPER MAJORITY party, but that's just not the case.) Making matters more insulting are the insinuations that party leaders are "incompetent" for not complying with the RIGHT NOW demands. Or, worse yet, the ridiculous suggestion (implied but never said out loud) that party leaders are willfully making things worse with inaction or by being in cahoots with the GOP. Bringing us full-circle to the "both sides are the same" argument (lie) we've heard so often.

Heavy sigh.
