God Bless Abraham Lincoln. Truly a fascinating man who persevered though surrounded by a series of incompetents and idiots for much of the Civil War, especially in the early days.
And there can be one again. I think everything hinges on the next two years. Let's see if the Republican's get their heads out of their asses with the Tea Party folks breathing down their necks. Yes, that is HOPE coming from me. Don't get used it. I do it in honor of Brother Lincoln
Nope. Not at this point, at any rate. I'm just as disgusted with the Republicans as you are.
Its just interesting to me that we both get pissed at them, but for very different reasons. You would like them to be more Progressive/Liberal (I assume), and they get in trouble with me for leaning too far that direction as it is.
I would imagine that neither one of us will be entirely satisfied with whatever they do :)
I really get chaffed at the lack of EFFORT they (Republicans) seem to be putting into solving the country's problems when they put politics before action. Get on Obama all you want (and I have spoken ill of him too) but at least the man is trying to make things better for y'all. I would like to see a democratic house and senate with the WILL Republicans seem to have with getting shit done. The wimpy spinelessness and the inabilty of Democrats to frame/sell their ideas to the populace annoys me. The Republicans lie their asses off but they sure know how to gather support for those lies. It's the only thing I admired about Bush 2 - he may have done some terrible things but he got what he wanted from the congress.
It all boils down to the color of Obama's skin. Any conservative who says it isn't about that, is either lying or blind. How else can this outpouring of hate and blame (for nothing) be explained? The man hasn't been able to do much because of the huge pile of crap he stepped into by getting elected. I don't have to tell you who left that crap sitting around.
I totally believe that too Pat. It may be bad reasoning on my part but I listen to the Alan Colmes show most nights when I am online and he takes alot of calls, most of them from conservatives who are alway against Obama. They repeat back the same Republican talking points that they have heard from guys like tub o' shit Rush Limbaugh (who calls the President - Barack the magic negro and gets away with it). The racism of these callers is overt at the best of times but even those who try to hide it can't help but come across bigotted. I am sure that many conservatives don't feel that way and may have even voted for Barack because he is black but that element of those who hate him for his color is a strong majority in that group.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

HEY! He was right...

True!
I think it's starting to happen right now...
There was once a republican with common sense and an honest character.
And there can be one again. I think everything hinges on the next two years. Let's see if the Republican's get their heads out of their asses with the Tea Party folks breathing down their necks. Yes, that is HOPE coming from me. Don't get used it. I do it in honor of Brother Lincoln
Cal - It's funny. I've made amazingly similar statements elsewhere over the past couple of months - but with Polar Opposite intent :)
So you are a 'burn it all down and start from dirt' kind of guy?
Don't rub it in, Canuck.
I post because I love.
