Coddle Conservatives?

After a historic night, President Obama has won his reelection and the American people have spoken.

Social Media helped play a part in his victory and I certainly enjoyed the Facebook posts of both Republicans and Democrats;  Mostly I enjoyed the camaraderie.

Today I am overjoyed.

I'm overjoyed because I know what I just bought - what Americans just bought.

I know that the union is preserved, the world still respects us, and our economy WILL bounce back.

I know I have a president I can trust with the 3am phone call.

A man who came from humble means and lived the American Dream.

A common man, who's compassion is true, and who's logic is even truer.

A proven commander-in-chief and an advocate for our military.

A decider, not a hem hawer.

Liberals?

They're such pantywaists, aren't they?

Some say I shouldn't gloat, that I shouldn't be so hard on the Right among us --some of them dear family and friends-- that I should just rise above it.

Yeah, not gonna happen...

You see, I have this great gift, God gave me the memory --ironically-- of an elephant.

I remember the last 4 years.

I remember the lies, hate, bigotry, fear, and distortion.

I see an obstructionist Congress still in place.

I see that if the Republican party doesn't disassociate themselves from the extreme haters, religious fanatics, and the rich, that they're doomed as a party.

Don't get me wrong, I like to see them fall out of touch with Latinos, women, youth, gays and this year, the common man.

Because that's what they do. All you have to do is listen to one of them.

Texas called it for Romney and in the process sent a moron to join the other moron it already has in the US senate.

It's like living in the old south but without the balls and courtesy.

No GOP.

I don't think I'll be nice to you today.

YOU have held the people hostage, the system of government, the education, the health, the rights of the American people. All for what?

To promote your only agenda; To ensure Obama fails. The party of No.

All the while, not stepping back from extremist factions in your party, but rather embracing them somehow, as if the rest of us wouldn't notice.


I hope this hurts.

I hope it hurts bad.

I hope it hurts like a caning.

I hope you take all that anger and focus it on being a little nicer and a little less skeptical of government and the good it can do when managed effectively.

Reagan is dead, and his ideas damn sure are.
Change them.

Trickle down is the opposite of what it was supposed to be.
Change it.

Change your ways, Republicans.

Otherwise, you won't be a formidable adversary for me to poke fun at anymore.
