Cheer Up Conservatives
While the election results admittedly make it difficult, I am generally an optimist, and I'm not changing my stripes now. So here's what I feel good about right now:
· The next time someone ˆ perhaps looking up from their Sunday New York Timesˆ tries to tell you we live in a pervasively racist society, you can tell them to just shut the hell up.
· Since their services are no longer required, we can send Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson off to their long-overdue retirements, perhaps to Charlie Rangel's place in the Dominican Republic.
· While we're at it, can we all decide that if blacks can rise to the presidency, it follows that we no longer need affirmative action? Time to put it in the ground.
· The constructionists on the Supreme Court should be able to hold out another four years before they retire. We wish them the best of health.
· We won't have to spend four years defending John McCain. Let's face it, he was a great human being and a patriot, but a crummy candidate who wilted on most issues important to conservatives. It would have been four painful years followed by a lay-up election for∑Obama or Hillary.
· With the economy in the tank, Obama may have somewhat limited flexibility. His plans to turn us into Finland may have to wait.
· Jimmy Carter was a painful experience, but he gave us (cue heavenly choir music) Ronald Reagan. Will Obama give us a Bobby Jindal? Tim Pawlenty? Rudy? Sara?We have a deep bench. Start thinking ahead now.
· Since the Democrats control both houses and the White House, there will be no one else to blame when they screw up, which is as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow. While they will try to pin any problems on George Bush for at least the next millennia, the people will know better.
· The media has now officially been "outed" as in the tank for the Democrat Party. Even liberals know it. MSM credibility has never been so low.
· The New York Times was just demoted to junk bond status by the ratings agencies.
Finally, let's be happy that it's finally just over. This has been the longest election season ever and I ˆ a political junkie ˆ have never been so worn out with politics. So, cheer up. It's not all bad.

Buying an RV may not be the highest thing on Reggie’s priority list.

I agree with all of it except for the premise that the Obama presidency is evidence that affirmative action is obsolete. I believe that because he was elected despite being unqualified, based on his characteristics rather than experience, that this is the first affirmative action presidency. Obviously affirmative action is alive and well.
I honestly believe that the dem machine used him as the anti-Bush and was quite happy that he could represent "change" in such a superficial, easy to understand way. He was the appearance opposite of an old white guy.
I think that the liberals and white intellectual elitists who jumped on the "McSame" calling bandwagon were the patsies of the dem machine.
Fast forward to his cabinet. All Clinton folks and Bush's defense secretary.
It's change, yet soooo... familiar.Warning: This post may contain language unsuitable for minors or math not suitable for liberal-arts majors.

there is nothing wrong with living in a RV...
