They are still furious about Obama winning, which puts a big smile on my face.

I think you might see the GOP break into two parties in the next few years...a "Chamber of Commerce" party and a "Party of Gawd".

I don't feel guilty for lapping up their tears for a week. They are mean, and they don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

is the fact that the tea party folks, and the militia folks, overlap on the Venn diagram, a lot....

this new bunch of militia folks is bigger and better armed than any we saw in the Clinton years...expect something like OK City... if there is any good news in this scenario, its good news. bad news... I'm sure the homeland security folks (despite secretary Napalitono's denial), is probably well aware of most of this.... the bad news of course, is they are watching us with equal zeal...

the easier it is for us to know who they are. I naively thought we were a post-racial society
before 2008. It's hard to fight your enemy when you can't see them. I know differently now.
The election confirms the majority of Americans are as repulsed by them and what they
believe as you and I are.

They will never be the majority again. If Obama, our Democratic Congress and Cabinet appointees
can get the economy growing, put people to work, make education a priority, generations to come
will look upon our President and not see color, they will see the man. They will understand the historic
times they grew-up in and that Obama was not just another politician. The older racists will have to
die off but not before being seen as the ignorant dinosaurs they are. The republicon party will be
forever linked to the ignorant dinosaurs.

young Republicans most likely follow in the footsteps of their parents especially in rural areas where they don't want to or incapable of standing out. This is our chance to change the country and help the world. I would like to see a big push for alternative energy too.

This is all they have left. Attack, attack, attack.

This 'tactic' gets old fast though and causes a lot of people, who up to this point had 'tried' to practice tolerance, attack back. And to that I say good!
