Musings of a Drunken Monk: Individual Entry Archive

This is it people, what we all knew was coming: the sad sad sad turn of events that confirms that once and for all the middle of the US is full of absolute morons. As I said before, sure it's okay that "President" Bush lies about Iraq and thousands of Iraqis and Americans are killed, but God forbid Clinton lies about getting his nut off with an ugly intern. It all comes down to this; I hate Republicans. They are the scourge of the Earth. I always say to my friends, it takes three things to be a republican: selfish, rich, and stupid. Look at college campuses all over the country. Who were college professors voting for? Not Bush, I'll tell you that much.

Yes, I am disappointed. Yes, I am bitter. I would even say I am heartbroken. I find myself this morning in deep, deep depression. I can't even imagine what the next four years will bring, without any re-election fears holding Bush back from doing some truly awful things. I'm no longer afraid to say I hate what America has become and at this point in time I want nothing to do with it. Why would I want to be associated with the same cretins as who ignored all intelligent thought and blindly voted for he who is slowly edging the world closer to chaos and ruin? What little patriotism I had after four years of agony with Bush has completely been washed away by a tide of human stupidity.

I can only imagine how it feels for people who worked hard to get Kerry up there, only to fall prey to Midwestern moronification. I can only imagine how awful it must feel to watch Bush's self-satisfied monkeysmirk plastered all over the newspapers and televisions. I can't even bear to look at the news today, I'm already so sick of seeing the words "Bush" and "victory" in the same sentence.

I, at least, have a buffer of a few thousand miles between myself and the agony of defeat. Just as the Red Sox victory felt rather mild thanks to those few thousand miles, so too does this blow come a little softer. As Jansen said, I guess I would rather the Red Sox wait another year for a World Series victory than have to live another four with Bush representing my country to the rest of the world. I imagine many Bostonites might feel the same.

In truth, Kerry could have won easily if he weren't such a shitty candidate. It shouldn't take much to defeat a talking puppet. Like Gore, Kerry was weak. He was a politico. He had no real inspiration. That, at least, is where Bush excels. He is a strong believer in anti-gay, anti-non-white, anti-poor, anti-environment, and intelligent sentiments. In that regard, he identifies very well with the rednecks from Ohio all the way out to Idaho. Look at a map of the states. Red shows redneck. You can see that ethnic diversity and intellect are pretty much a monopoly held by the blue (democratic) states. Have you ever heard of an ivy-league school in North Dakota? Have you ever heard of anyone non-white even thinking about going to North Dakota? Yeah.

It all comes down to this: Way back in the day, we should have let the South go. They just drag us down anyway, and they haven't changed much since then anyway. We should've let the Midwest go too. After all, what good do any of those states do for the country anyway?

End Rant.
