Humanity has an amazing way of pissing me off today.
Let it be known that I hate the 2-party system. I hate national media. I hate the system. I hate rhetoric and the un-media savvy public. I hate being made to feel stupid and backward because I don't agree with a liberal or a conservative. or an Australian. Screw the Australians. And most of all, I hate politics.
I take offense being told I'm stupid or a bigot because i don't believe in him. I have a differing opinion. I value yours. Value mine.
And before you tell me how stupid I was for voting McCain I didn't vote for him either.
I am uneasy about Barack, but I'm kinda glad he won. At least, I won't hear whining about voter fraud or how people are going to leave the country because of and who is the president. I've noticed m recent years Republicans em o take defeat more graciously than Democrats.
I also find it very disrespectful that the media has reduced Barack to the first black president. They keep pushing it. And Oprah cries. Ugh.
Oh, but we're still racist. Whatever. I don't care if he was purple, some of his votes in the past scare me, so I didn't vote for him
Let's see him actually DO something.
Then, let us cry and celebrate.
People tend to jump the gun. They believe the hype. People are stupid. They believe all the promises. I'm sorry, Obama won't be able to give us everything he promised. I challenge him.
Then, I'll party too.
edit: I always wondered why they changed the colors:
