You may find the following three simple bits of common advice helpful in your day-to-day activities and which will also undoubtedly enhance your reputation and legacy:

1) Use and remember the 'Thumperian Principle' which most of us learned early in life:

"If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all."

2) "It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable." - Paul 'Bear' Bryant

3) "You get more with honey than vinegar." - Anonymous

While we should pay attention and not ignore "the haters," perhaps we should spend more time thinking of how we can help and support President Obama and other Democratic leaders with all the problems facing the U.S. and the world (rather than spewing more hate).

But also leave a couple of moments to gloat in our wonderful victory on November 6th:
