Wow, it has been quite a while, eh? (Details later.)
Anyways, whether or not you supported Obama, he is president now. (And that is something that requires the miracle of an economic recession to accomplish.) I, as an Independent liberal (no, not like Liberman; more like John Stuart Mill, although I am NOT a utilitarianist), did not agree with either McCain (well, I did, before he turned into a Bush doppelganger) or Obama. Both major candidates sucked, as well as most of the third party candidates (Bob Barr especially). Anyways, as someone who doesn't necessarily Obama, I do hope that he can pull America out of the slump it's in, and establish foresight for the future. Although, right now, that isn't what I'm focused on in the political world; it's how a nation that, just about forty years ago, was still racist (in the Deep South, anyways) could elect Obama. I mean, there were major electoral district wins for the Democrats this year; and because of Obama (if he doesn't screw it up in his EIGHT years ahead; he will get re-elected), I fear that this nation will be blue for a long, long time. And why? ("I thought you were a liberal?") Well, because of the stupidity of some leftists. For example, in the Cloudy City (Seattle), the morons want to install solar panels on houses. Now, that's fine and dandy in Florida, but Seattle? WTF? What event in American history happened that the post-McCarthy liberals are f-ing dunces now? I really don't know, frankly. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about the "eco-friendly" legislation in California that would drive nearly all Californian truckers out of business. (WTF- especially in a recession.) I mean, what kind of BS is this? Did I just wake up one morning to find that all liberals have been debrained? Urk...
This is really more of a vent, so sorry. Anyways, comments on the stupidity of modern Democrats? (Please note, Republicans are worse. But, I still hold Democrats to be idiots, which is why I'm an independent.)
Oh, yeah, it's great to be back.
