18. We are behaving like children.
Mon Jan 21, 2013, 11:01 AM
Jan 2013

This type of gloating is unbecoming of we adult democrats, We criticize 'the other party' for acting like this, and now we lower ourselves to their same level.

Would H H The 14th Dalai Lama behave like this? No.
Would Desmond Tutu behave like this? No.
Would Martin have behaved like this? No.
Would Rosa Parks have behaved like this? No.

Does Barack Obama behave like this? No.

But we sometimes do.
On the other hand, I am not H H The 14th Dalai Lama.
I am not Desmond Tutu .
I am are not Martin.
I am not Rosa Parks.
I can only aspire to be like those people.

And I am not Barack Obama. And because he does not behave like me, HE is President and I am not.
However, I think for one day it is ok to behave like this. And this as good a day as any, don't you think? So-- SUCK IT SCHMUCKS !!!!! SUCK IT BIG TIME....
