After thinking about this during the first half of my work day, I had a few new ideas about this whole election.

I have always said that a racist who says that they are a racist is better than a racist who pretends to be something else. At least they are telling a truth. (Racism just plain sucks, if you ask me, but it does exist in this country and elsewhere.) I touched on this in my last post (or my first–I guess it depends if your glass is half-full or half-empty).

The message that the United States has sent on a global scale is very clear: we are happy to have our position of world bully, we are happy to suppress minorities and dissonance within our own country. Logically, it follows that we treat our own BETTER than we are going to treat another coutry. So, if we are willing to suppress this in our own country–the dissonant voices around the globe better be quiet for awhile. There are going to be conditional strings on everything from here-on-out. At least we are out-of-the-closet with our skeletons. America is struggling as it loses status of “land of the free.” We may be the home of the brave, but we also house a good deal of closed minds (and more of them voted that Liberals–captiol “L”).

The really fantastic and accidental consequence is that we have mobilized the largest force of Free-thinking, progressive people in the history of the United States. If you were to count out exactly %49.99999 percent of the total number of votes–you will know the full scale of our army! We must keep mobilized. Keep the thinkers thinking. Keep the activists activating. And, keep the conservatives on-the-run.

I, for one, am going to maintain the thumb-screws on all of the closed-minded drones quoting Rush Limbaugh as a “humorous–you don’t really listen to him for news” guy, but who tune their radios in at the appropriate times every day regardless.
