4. Typical.
Survivor represents everything that is wrong with this country. So does American Idol and all that other bullshit reality crap.

We've got reality staring us smack in the face, and it ain't pretty.

5. That. Right. There.
That's part of our problem. People on our side of the aisle are unwilling to commit to action for change which will result in immediate discomfort for themselves.

We have to get beyond that.

3. Count me in : Kill the TV.
I'm also wearing a black hoodie to my Democracy for America MeetUp tonight, and will talk soon to a locak state representative about starting a local progressive think-tank.

9. I have no problem protesting, but this won't do anything!
Who are you hurting with this? The power company, the cable company??? Nobody!!!!

I thought of some kind of payback ever sicince last night, but haven't come up with anything.

I'll be happy to join you if you think of something that will actually make a difference to somebody!

11. I haven't turned it on all day
Last night was the end. They can all go to hell.

Let Daryn sleep with Rush. Let Leslie look like Fright Night. Let them all spew their hot air to each other. I have no need to listen to them any more.

Democracy is dead. Politics is dead too. This is a cultural war. It is reality based people vs faith based reality people.

Americans have no clue how bad things are going to get. The only satisfaction I will get from the coming shit storm is that they are going to own it. I know, many of us did everything we could to stop it. Unfortunately, it was not enough. There was no way it could be enough when your own leaders set you up and sell you out.

We need to forget the Democratic party and politics, we can no longer change or influence that. This isn't no longer about Democrat vs Republican. We are way past that point now. It is time to call a spade, a spade and directly address the evil that is in control of this nation. Like it or not this is a war or ideas, a war of religion.

We must reach people on an individual basis. We must change their hearts and minds one by one. We must show them that this thing they call christianity has little to do with christ. We're going to have to start talking religion, because that is the only language they know. It's time to save the fundies. Save them from themselves and bring them the light of reality. Otherwise it's going to be a long dark 4 years ahead of us.
