Reply #11: I'm not mad at Kerry or, really, the Democratic Party [View All]

I think we gave it the best run we had in us and are now shocked to discover that there are a whole lot of stupid, ignorant, war-mongering, bible-thumping KKKristian KKKrispies out there.
My state (Michigan) went blue but, like in the midterms, the rest of the country went for the Fourth Reich. My method of dealing with the admitted disappointment this afternoon is summed up by the sig line I carried here for a long time: "Resident of Saginaw, Citizen of Michigan, subject of the United States."
My American flag has come in for the next four years -- I have a very nice Michigan flag which works better for me, as well as a Maple Leaf flag I can fly on Canadian national holidays.
Saginaw already has an Ontario Hockey League franchise and three Tim Horton's doughnut shops. We are located less than two hours from the border crossings at Sarnia and Windsor. You can drink Molson's or Labatt's for a little LESS than Budweiser here.
And one of every four white Michiganians has at least one Canadian ancestor/relative. We don't think "eh" sounds particularly foreign. All the folks who grew up around the Great Lakes share their history.
Anyhow, my Blue America and the larger Red America are two different things to me beginning today.
I've seceeded, intellectually. I no longer give a good damn about what happens to the people in the red states. They voted for war and unemployment and Jumping Jesus and they deserve what is going to happen next. Just keep Michigan and the rest of us blue folk out of it.
I do not believe in this (gag) elected administration. And I intend to continue to do what I can to besmerch, hamper and embarrass it -- just as I was on Monday.
