goodby you all - I'm done - its embarrassing to be an american |
|
I've tried every day since the 2000 coup d'etat to take the power away from the neo cons and have a peaceful, progressive country. if I wasn't poor I'd move out. I don't want to live in a country that has men dressing up as nazi and doing reenactments. a corrupt S.S. a pentagon that loves killing and destruction.
I'm crying as I type this.
good luck, wishing you well.

Do not surrender even when defeated, and do not be a slave even in bondage, trembling with fear advance bravely, and attack with fury, though badly wounded.
Be as stubborn as a rusting nail, that refuses to yield though old and ruined, and do not envy the peacock's plumage, that hides in fear at the first noise.
Be as a god that never cries, or as a devil that never prays, or as the oak whose mighty canopy, needs of water but does not beg it.
Even when it rolls to the dust, let your head scowl and bite, and scream for vengeance.
- Pedro Palacios Almafuerte Argentinian poet 1854-1917

32. It is my mother's favorite poem |
|
She has recited it, twice, at meetings of breast cancer survivors, after surviving treatment herself.
She is still with us.
She is my guiding star, and my rudder.

Things ain't goin' well tonight. That was obviously going to be the case. It's easy to fight the good fight when we're winning. What matters is how well you fight it when you're losing.
The conservatives got curb-stomped in '06 and '08. They didn't curl up with the sniffles. They got loud. They got angry. They got motivated. They got a bunch of firebrands on the ballots. And they're reaping the dividends.
Might be a lesson there.

Tomorrow we can work out the details. It does seem that we have some very stupid folks in our country. It doesn't mean that we have to make any rash decisions tonight. Peace, Kim

20. Here's a little song I wrote |
|
You might want to sing it note for note Don't Worry — Be Happy In every life we have some trouble But when you worry you make it Double Don't Worry — Be Happy Ain't got no place to lay your head, somebody came and took your bed Don't Worry, Be Happy The landlord say your rent is late, he may have to litigate Don't Worry — Be Happy Ain't got not cash, ain't got no style, ain't got no gal to make you smile Don't Worry — Be Happy Cause when you worry your face will frown and that will bring everybody down Don't Worry — Be Happy

If you really can't stay here, :( I hope some other site will be fortunate enough to share your input.

Hey, this is my first post to DU since Obama was elected! Too bad it is such depressing night. I'm with you, if I weren't a dirt poor 46 year old man, I'd be on the first flight out of this asylum. But schmucks like us have no choice; we have to live with the decisions of the madison avenue propaganda blinded nation of dimwits who (I guess) are content to continue to see their wages decline (Rand Paul - workers will have to settle for less) their lifestyle diminished while the wealthy firm up their iron grip on the nation.
Oh well.

39. They only win if you quit. You should rest a while, and then live your convictions awhile |
|
and then if you can come back and fight the good fight. You're needed. Don't give up.

it really was a coup d'etat aided by a corrupt voting system. A media complicit hijacking.
Did you think the Neo-cons were going to give up anything easily? Nah, they just light a fire under some teabagger candidates and back in business...
I understand crying that our dream of a rational, peaceful, progressive country seems so far away. But their Bu*h Era gains were big. It will not be easy. It will take time. It will take more work. We can't leave it to them now.
Take some time out ensho, but we need you.

you're not alone!! We elected Obama for chrissakes...these people are still here and will rise again.
The tides are turning...the voices of DIVERSITY are going to change this place. Yes, today we lost a battle but we sure as hell didn't lose the war. I'm in FL...feeling down but know that I am not the only one.

It's a typical mid-term election. We can get back house and re-elect Obama in 2012 - VERY easily. Two short years away. Cliff jumping is not a response to adversity and this is small stuff.
2012. House. Senate. Four more years of Obama. This isn't an optimistic outlook - it is a likely one. Obama is going to be in 2012 what many expected in 2008. Think long term. We got this.

Politics is a full contact sport - I have kids.
No fucking way I'm giving up.
So we got our ass kicked tonight; we can do the same in reverse in 2 years. We still have the presidency and the senate.
Hope ya feel better, but we need you in the fight.
