so, does all this mean no du inauguration parties? or

[mopinko]

am i just not gonna get invited?
seriously, i am taking this mess hard. i thought i belonged to a community. i was SO looking forward to coming out for the inauguration. i didn't care that i didn't have a ticket. i was gonna just be happy to hang on the mall, and hopefully hook up with a couple du'ers.
now what? guess i should plan on it being cold on the mall.

[skooooo]

1. I'll be celebrating.

I don't understand or agree with everything he does, but after the last 8 years there's finally hope that things will change for the better. It may take a while, but I think it will.

[BlooInBloo]

2. It just means that any celebrating Obama's inaugaration is a gay-bashing bigot.

[skooooo]

3. Do you believe that, or are you being snarky?

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

5. It suffices for my point that you can't tell which.

[mopinko]

6. mandatory sarcasm tags are in effect.

you didn't get the memo?

[billyoc]

4. After I protest at the inauguration I'll stop in at a few goodbye bush/cheney parties.

Yes, it will be cold on the mall, but all the chanting and yelling and pumping the protest signs up and down really does wonders to warm up the blood. :hi:

[MadBadger]

10. You gonna be protesting the entire time, or just while Warren is up there?

[billyoc]

12. I'll follow the lead of the organizers.

Not my party this time. :)

[MadBadger]

13. You dont know what you are going to do? Just do what you're told?

[billyoc]

15. I'm going to support the protesters, yes, I'm going to follow their lead.

Something seem untoward to you?

[MadBadger]

18. You're going to support something for which you have no idea of what they will do

Maybe they'll boo during Obama's whole speech. Just wondering about the protests, and it did seem a little odd not to know what you're protesting.

[billyoc]

19. Boo?! There'll be 5 million people there!

:rofl:

[Divine Discontent]

35. how I LOVE you billyoc! freakin sweet guy. bless you.

you always make me laugh, I enjoyed reading your comments on this and I commend you for saying you were following what the organizers had planned, if I wasn't on the West coast, I'd be right there with you. Thank you for being there.

[Peacetrain]

7. I am celebrating the election of a new Democratic president...

I have also written a letter hard copy and email.. that denounces the choice of Warren,..

I can do both and will. There is no way I am not going to celebrate. And there is no way that I am not going to point out the hurtful choice that has been made.

If people cannot accept both sides of my stance, then that is a case of "who owns the problem" ..

[Taverner]

9. I cheer and applaud your nuance

And wish there were more around to share...

[mopinko]

16. just looked at your profile.

your line is not showing, there, and it should.
too bad you won't be there.

[quakerboy]

24. +1

[Taverner]

8. Didn't you get the memo? We're supposed to support McKinney now

And we're supposed to all take the ideological purity test by this afternoon. Chop chop!

[mopinko]

17. i got a feeling that my lifelong ability

to do well on tests, even when i am blowing smoke, has met it's match, then.

[Shiver]

28. Crap, anyone have the study guide?!

Where's my #2 pencil?!

Is it multiple choice or short answer?!

Dammit, it's like I'm in high school again, except with no one to cheat off of!

[mopinko]

32. i hear there is a cliff's notes

on dennis kucinich's website.

[cliffordu]

34. That fucking dennis owes me royalties too...

[Deja Q]

11. I used to think the same way, about belonging to a community.

Depends on which community... :(

I am still an American, which is my community - first and foremost. Obama is elected, and from everything I've otherwise read, he's still an intelligent, capable person of fixing this country. That is first and foremost as far as I'm concerned.

True, Warren is divisive. That's Warren's problem. All I can do is act in ways that defies his stereotyping.

I support Obama.

[mopinko]

14. this community.

i'm not commenting on the content of the division, just on the fact that this division exists. and is so huge.
it hurts.

[stillcool]

20. Maybe you can hook up with those..

that are celebrating and those that are protesting. Have a little taste of everything.

[mopinko]

27. that would be fine as long as

i haven't made any permanent enemies yet.

[stillcool]

29. ah well...those aren't worthy

of your presence. What a shame. So sad losing friends over snapshots in time.

[mopinko]

31. so sad to still be losing friends

after losing so many in the last 8 years.

[Divine Discontent]

36. love that last line - excellent. eom

[iamthebandfanman]

21. celebrating democratic victory, mourning progressive values

25. You seem to like to stir shit up.

[GarbagemanLB]

26. So if he does neither, we shouldn't recognize Obama? I think you are on the wrong website.

[democrattotheend]

23. I'll be there

On the mall unless I am lucky enough to get a ticket. I'm actually hoping this turns some people off from coming though, because I hope fewer people come period, since the city seems ill-equipped to handle millions of people.

[McFadden]

30. I'll be there too. I'll show Warren my bum cheeks, but I'll be there. n/t

[Rowdyboy]

33. If you and everyone else bare your buttocks and fart during the invocation....

I would die a happy man.

[Divine Discontent]

37. lol... eom

[Splinter Cell]

38. Not as far as I'm concerned....
