This is bit rambling, but god damn it, I am pissed off.......
For a long time now we have been hearing about Bush being a uniter, not a divider. He ran on that twice and won. And every time we hear this phrase about uniting the country it is supposed to be a good thing. Well, I'm sick of "uniters", both republicans (although it's all just lip service) and the democrats (who buy into this idea that this is what the country needs) alike. Here's a list of reasons that we as democrats need to divide, not unite.....
We need to stop playing the middle ground and start pointing out the false nature of republican's claiming to have morals, let alone having the moral high ground on religion, foreign policy, security, and business.
- We are generally better Christians than they are. Call a spade a spade and call them for what they are......killers. Christian people practice charity, not thievery. Yeah, I know, we're not supposed to point out the controversial elephants in the room because we might offend 20% of the country. You know what.......fuck em. That's what they are doing to us. And that's the truth.
- We are better negotiators and communicators than they are. Period. And in this day and age when everyone and their grandmother is running around with lethal weaponry you better damn well know how to talk to people. Anything less is suicidal.
- Tax cuts produce less revenue. Less revenue forces communities to purchase substandard protection for their citizens just like poor citizens have to purchase (if at all) substandard health care. Substandard protection equals dead citizens............and destroyed infrastructure.
- Dead citizens have a hard time buying anything from or making anything for your business. And even if the republicans are just interested in people as minimum wage slaves to make money off of, eventually after all of the infrastructure is destroyed through neglect and the poor people are dead through starvation and disease and the country is a toxic desert after they have cut down the environment, they are going to have an awfully hard time finding food when there isn't anyone left to grow it and it's all mutated from overexposure to the radiation from the sun.
I want to hear the democrats start calling spades......well, spades, goddammit. No more wishy washy euphemisms. Start practicing and USING the following words to describe them when they are in fact true: liar, stupid, lunatic, greedy,manipulative, crazy, <insert true word of choice here>.
So it's time for democrats to start taking the "you're either with us or against us" approach to things and start talking about the long term future reprocussions of these assholes, not just the immediate concerns. And not just talking to people but also big business. Big business wants to make money? Fine. They can make less but plan on being around a lot longer if they actually paid people a decent wage, invested in their communities, and invested in the country. Nobody, and I mean nobody, needs to make more than a couple of million dollars a year tops to have a wonderfully extravegant lifestyle. Anything more than that is just plain greedy to the point of evil. And greed has brought down every nation on this Earth throughout history.
So start drawing divisions, not trying to unite everyone. Why try to unite with a bunch of crazies?!? You give most people a choice between a decent country to live in that takes care of its own, that gets along with others nicely, that is interested in creating an actual future for everyone, and I think most people would choose that over armogeddan which seems to be the way were heading. And the nuts who are sitting around waiting to be "taken up" while the rest of us relax in our nice peaceful pleasant country with a good future that we'll have created for ourselves can go wherever the hell they'd like to. Build em a nice big spaceship and beam them up Scotty.
