A slightly emotional message, which arrived over the transom. I will not say what friend wrote this thing, but I think they got it off their chest by doing so. Very therapeutic for them:
While the election results admittedly make it difficult, I am generally an optimist, and I'm not changing my stripes now. Obama has truly awful, awful ideas for our country, but I do not believe even he can ruin it. So here's what I feel good about right now: The next time someone - perhaps looking up from their Sunday New York Times - tries to tell you we live in a pervasively racist society, you can tell them to just shut the f*** 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 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? 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.
I guess that covers most of it. Go in peace.
