Morning in America: Butthurt Achieved

[Quality Start Machine]

What delights me is the number of people who are trying to get their states to secede from the union.  The only other time in history when this happened on this magnitude was in 1860, and we know how that ended.   Most of these states are "under water" in that they receive more from the Federal government than they contribute.  If they left us it would be a great help in bringing down the deficit.

Not to mention, we could charge them fees for all the infrastructure built by the (non-job creating) US Government.

On the downside, we'd lose at least half our military personnel.

These are less hilarious butthurt, more plain old disappointment.

No, Fork.

By now, most of you have probably seen the Tumblr page entirely dedicated to pictures of white people mourning the Republican defeat last Tuesday.

I realize how easy it is to make fun of those people (our those people), but for me the images posted there call up -- somewhat to my surprise -- decidedly mixed emotions. Spite and sympathy, it seems, can co-exist, and even lay the groundwork for something that begins to resemble empathy.

It's an involuntary reflex, to be sure, after the bile, racism, and sheer deranged hatred those people have flung at us these past four years -- not to mention their cocksure arrogance (up until about 10:00 pm Tuesday night) that "real" Americans were going to rise as one and send the Kenyan usurper packing.

But looking at those woeful faces -- hopes smashed, the awful truth finally revealed -- it's hard not to remember election night 2004, when it became clear that lies and war crimes notwithstanding, President Cheney and his sidekick were going to be reelected despite our best efforts.

It's devastating to believe that your country has looked evil full in the face and decided to embrace it, and feel completely helpless to stop it. And if even one-twentieth of the things those people believe about President Obama, and about us, were true, they would be right to despair, just as we did eight years ago.

In the end, though, what really makes it hard for me to dine with gusto at the schadenfreude buffet is that the grieving faces on the other side of the partisan divide aren't those people, they're my people -- the middle-class neighbors of my Southern childhood, the kids I went to school with, my redneck uncles and cousins, my own mother and father.

...

I'll confess that on the morning after the 2004 Election, I woke up and told my wife we should take our money out of the bank.  By the end of the week, though, I had calmed down.  The asshurt and despair by many of the Republicans over this election, however, has had impressive staying power.

Your butthurt barely lasted 7 days, whereas their butthurt is going on 8.

End of the week = Friday, Saturday Sunday.

3-5 days.

Also: you never put ketchup on your 5 days of butthurt. And you knew when to sit the fuck attention.

The meeting consisted of a PowerPoint presentation followed by a 90-minute screening of the anti-Agenda 21 documentary, Agenda: Grinding America Down. It was emceed by Field Searcy, a local conservative activist who was forced out of the Georgia Tea Party in April due to his endorsement of conspiracy theories about the president's birth certificate and the collapse of World Trade Center Tower 7. The presentation also featured a special video cameo from conservative talking-head Dick Morris in which the former Clinton aide warns that Obama "wants to force everyone into the cities from whence our ancestors fled."

About 23 minutes into the briefing, Searcy explained how President Obama, aided by liberal organizations like the Center for American Progress and business groups like local chambers of commerce, are secretly using mind-control techniques to push their plan for forcible relocation on the gullible public:

They do that by a process known as the Delphi technique. The Delphi technique was developed by the Rand Corporation during the Cold War as a mind-control technique. It's also known as "consensive process." But basically the goal of the Delphi technique is to lead a targeted group of people to a pre-determined outcome while keeping the illusion of being open to public input.

How perilous is the situation? Here's a slide from the presentation comparing Obama's record to that of Mao and Stalin:

And yet, not one damn word about Obama taking my Ameros to fund the construction of the NAFTA Superhighway.

It appears that 2.5 million people in America die each year.. So he's got at least 5 million deaths on his hands.

Based on the slide, I'm going to say that they don't quite understand how a public/private partnership works.

Edit: Also, I like that they differentiated that while Mao killed people, Stalin only killed Ukrainians.

Ukranians only count as half a person, based on the one that I know.

The Ukraine is weak.

Apparently there are petitions from all 50 states seeking permission to secede from the union.  But if we all secede together, form a confederacy of seceded states, and then hold an election to determine who is going to be president, a majority of that electorate appears to want Obama to be president.  Kind of nullifying the reason for secession.

Holy shit.

I think you're jumping the gun there, pops. No confederacy. When this thing goes down, you and I go our separate ways.

Say what you will about the tenets of McCarthyism. At least it's an ethos.
