Fellow Kossacks,
While we collectively lick our wounds and circle the wagons for a prog vs. mod war (and I don't mean the cool music genres unfortunately), let's all take a moment to remember:
We are all in this together.
We are all on the same side.
We face a very devious and dangerous enemy.
We are the good guys!
Now gather up your vitriol, donuts and pony wishes and jump your sorry asses over the barricade!
We cannot afford to be demoralized and resort to divisive bickering because we got our nose bloodied in an ugly midterm that (most of us) saw coming.
Yes it sucks. Yes the average American voter is as stupid as a Palin tweet. Yes we have a long, long way to go to bring back even a semblance of sanity to our political system (much less effecting positive change that will help all Americans). Yes the teabaggers are crazy and uninformed and mucking up the political landscape with their "purity" and nonsense. Yes we are dealing with a hostile propaganda machine (the MSM) funded by soulless corporations who probably don't have our best interests in mind. Yes we have Dems that are not exactly fighting with the kind of passion that is displayed here on a daily basis. Yes we have a long, hard and important struggle ahead of us.
But after 8 years of Bush and the death, torture and other unsavory aspects of life during perpetual wartime...
We. Are. Exhausted.
It has been an unrelenting and growing shit storm since the SCOTUS handed the keys to W and his neocon conspirators from hell, but...
We are not defeated!
And we have to fight.
Together. As one. As Americans.
Why?
BECAUSE THE RISK IS TOO DAMN HIGH if we don't!
So please, let's stop fighting amongst ourselves.
We have a common enemy that is meaner, uglier and scarier than any of us!
And they are extremely determined to fuck up all of our lives and futures if we don't stop them.
And to them I say: HELL NO YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR COUNTRY BACK!
Because?
THE RISK IS TOO DAMN HIGH!
One mo' 'gin...
THE RISK IS TOO DAMN HIGH!
