My message to the Teabaggers and others of their ilk.
My son who is only ten years old was very upset with the Democratic losses last night and looking for a silver lining he wanted to stay up and see the outcome of the Illinois and Pensylvania races. I took him to bed and I explained to him my belief that often the people get the government the deserve!
In addition to the shortcomings of the Democrats that wasted a large majority by being wishy-washy, indecisive and mealymouthed, you had a large part of the electoratethat that is ignorant and bigoted, looking for instant gratification.
I have a message for the newly elected Teabaggers: "You sold your soul to the Devil and he will soon come to collect his due". All that money they secretely funneled to you has to be paid back. With inerest! They bought your soul!
To the people who voted for the Teabagger candidates in good faith hoping to benefit I have another message: "You were duped and you will be sorely disappointed. To quote Lewis Black:"What's good for the dog is not necesserily good for the frog". And make no mistake about that. You are the frog. The plutocracy that bought this election does not have your best interests in mind. Far from it. When Beghner speaks about "The American People" he does not have you in mind. He has in mind his friends at the Country Club. He did not get his tan in his family's tavern in Ohio. He got it at the Golf Club. The sooner you reealize that the less disappointed you are bound to be. Where were you when your neighbor's job was outsourced to China? You were buying cheap crap in Walmart. Now you lost your job and you think the Rebublicans will get it back to you? Dream on.
My message to the Supremes who enabled the plutocracy to buy this election I have a shorter message: "Shame on you and the pox on your houses!"
As I kissed my son good night I told him it is OK to be disappointed but not to be disilussioned. Our time will come again. We are on the side of the Angels.
