a progeny's views

We have condemned fascism, racism, bigotry, division, fundamentalism, jingoism, anti-intellectualism and simply, rampant idiocy. We have said no to Sarah Palin and her rhetoric of hate and ignorance cast as piety and godliness. We have said no to John McCain and his venom and erratic antics. We have said no to the base-line, hard-line, redneck ideology of the populist assholes who thought the Republicans could carry the day. ("F"ill in the blank) Sarah Palin. ("F"ill in the blank) the close-minded. ("F"ill in the blank) the corporate, insular, cadaver-like ("F"ill; in the blank) who've ("F"ill in the blank) us for the last 7 years. ("F"ill in the blank) Dick Cheney. ("F"ill in the blank) Karl Rove. ("F"ill in the blank) the Southern elite who think they're entitled to complacency, sameness, foolish ideology and entitlement. God bless America. We have welcomed cosmopolitanism, tolerance, european perspectives, european conversations. We have embraced our role as true leaders of the free world. We have rejected partisan fighting, we have rejected complacency, idiocy, and hate. We can wake up tomorrow and face the world. We can wake up tomorrow and feel a part of the global community. We can wake up tomorrow and retake our rightful place at the head of the global table. The world has many challenges yet to face. But we can now go into tomorrow with the confidence to lead our brothers and sisters around the world, knowing we have an accord with them, knowing we have washed ourselves clean of the scorn and contempt the Bush administration engendered. Welcome back, hope. Welcome back, America.
