edited to add: I'm unlocking this particular rant, which I usually don't make these public. But my good lj friend
dferguson pimped me out so I'm extending this as a nod to him as I doubt we share our entire flist.
It's a rant and I don't bother to play nice. Be warned.

Dear Republicans in Congress and unfortunate mouthpeices such as Rash Lamebutt, Ann Coultergiest, Bill O Lielly, and all the insane far right Wacko McNutjobs out there:
Get over it.
GET THE FUCK OVER IT.
He won in a FAIR, honest, democratically held race. (Probably the fairest in a decade as it didn't take mysterious Diebold malfunctions or a supreme court in a state run by one of the candidate's own brother to decide.)
He won, fair and square whether you like it or not. AND HE'S BLACK.
Get. the. fuck. over. it.
If the vision of a new world in which old white rich men no longer are guarenteed to hold all the power is too painful for you to deal with, I invite you to exit it now and make the world a better place. Then you can go be in heaven with Jesus who we *know* is a white man, right?
Yes, I know you think that except for giving the already rich and powerful huge perks, goodies and free blow jobs all day long that it's EBIL and cruel for government to try to help anyone out. But it isn't socialism and it isn't facism and just GET THE FUCK OVER IT AND SHUT UP.
We don't have to give in to you 50/50 or more just to play nice or cause if we don't we won't be trying to be bipartisan, which you throw baby squalling fits "YOU PROMISED!!" Bipartisan means that we'll work with you. It doesn't mean we'll act as if *you* got the majority and just politely take turns letting you have your way half the time by default. The American people did not elect majorities of Republicans in either house or in the White house and you had 8 years of a POTUS and 12 in the houses and we decided you had your turn and it wasn't good enough. Time for someone else now. Sooner or later you'll get your turn again and I hope when you do, you won't be the absolutely arrogant jackass that Dubya was about it. It just astonishes me how you are whinging and stomping your feet after the absolute scorn and arrogance your hero displayed while *he* was in power. He didn't even TRY to reach out to the other side. It was FUCK YOU WE WON I HAVE A MAAAAAAANDAAAATE the whole way.
So get the hell over it already and also don't tell me this isn't about race. You shot Clinton down when he tried to fix health care (and I still hate you for doing that) but the vitriol and name calling and fear mongering didn't even come close to this level and we all know why.
Sincerely disgusted with you,
Robinski
PS. Shout out to Obama. Good job on the speeches yesterday.
