BENGHAZI BOMBSHELL: Leaked Emails Were EDITED To Make Obama LOOK BAD

[calimary]

43. Welcome to DU, MetasticTwine!

Glad you're here! I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say, too! NOT!

I would not put ANYTHING past them. They seem to be growing in desperation. The life they want - even the world they want - doesn't exist anymore. If it ever did, it was mostly in 1950's and '60's sitcoms. The demographics that still care are either old and dying out, or so stupid, gullible, and ill-informed that they're well-trained by now to vote against their own best interests. They're well-conditioned enough to swallow whole whatever crap is spewing out of RNC/Pox Noise. Without questioning. Or from their own bullies in the pulpit who seem more interested in building earthly empires for themselves than the Hereafter. They yearn for those "simple" times and "good ol' days" when Dad's paycheck MORE than covered the needs of a family of four. When houses were affordable for the middle class. When there WAS a viable middle class. When there weren't all these annoying other people who demanded the same equality and pay and voting rights and other rights and the same-size place at the table as Dad's. When the "little woman" was content to know her place - quiet, acquiescent, subservient, never speaking out of turn, securely in the home or low-paying pink-collar jobs only. You know, the kind that Jurassic-james inhofe is comfortable with. And everybody was white with blue eyes and blonde or light brown hair, and spoke English. Even Jesus!

Well, we don't have that kind of world. Not now! Not EVER! And I bet it'd rip them up inside if they ever contemplated how the physical Jesus probably resembled Osama bin Laden more than the sanitized version we see in all the Easter cards.

No amount of wishing can make it so. And in many cases, no amount of propaganda can make it so at the polls.

Which is why they cheat. They have to. They have to rig the game, tilt the playing field, bend the rules, defy the rules, or change the rules outright, in order to secure a win anymore. That's all they've got.

Their policies are so unpalatable, unreasonable, unrealistic, and unworkable that they're falling out of favor. Insisting what they still do will NOT win them more voters. Too many people know otherwise. INVARIABLY, when things are explained, the point always goes to OUR side. No wonder one of the many things these assholes want to do is defund education and disregard it as a concern worthy of Cabinet-level priority. Majorities are moving away from marriage prejudice. The young aren't embracing organized religion anymore. Single heads of households are no longer some rare oddity you only hear about but never see in your neighborhood. Majorities are shifting their views on marijuana. There's suddenly a strong and vigorous pushback against 2nd Amendment extremism where there once was NONE AT ALL. There is growing concern over environmental degradation and climate change, and more realism about it. There are more women winning elections. More Latinos too. There are more Latinos, PERIOD. The white majority is losing ground, rapidly, and soon won't be a numerical majority anywhere any longer. Many of us have just had TOO MUCH for TOO LONG.

Things are NO LONGER what they once seemed.

And the CONS don't like it. They want it back the old way. The way they THINK it was, in their own cloudy, addled, fantasy-filled nostalgia. That's what the whining middle-aged white woman standing in the back of the room during one of those town hall meeting videos a few years back sniveled, tearily: "I Want MY America BACK!" That America is GONE, honey. It really never was. You just assumed it was like what you saw on TV when you were growing up, and what your CONservative authorities tell you is how things should be. Hell, sometimes I think I want my wisdom teeth back, too, just in case I ever start losing some of the others. But it's not to be. Won't happen. Can't happen. They're long gone. I simply have to deal with what there is in reality. And nobody in this reality is trying to help republi-CONS and CONservatives in general - to see this. They're still fancying up their own realities in their own little bubble worlds, where everything is as "Fox and Friends" tell you it is, in the morning, and as limbaugh tells you it is in the middays, and as bill o'reilly tells you it is, come nightfall.
