Dear Dismayed Conservatives (barf alert DUmmie editorial)

Posted on 11/08/2006 11:51:34 AM PST by MetaCon

Dear dismayed conservatives:

I hereby make these promises to you.

We will protect your lives and livelihoods.

We will listen to and respect your beliefs.

We will never try to force you to change your religion, sexual orientation, or first language.

We will do our best to reduce the number of abortions in our country.

We will have no tolerance for corruption and cronyism, even in our own party.

ESPECIALLY in our own party.

We will never tell you that you are unpatriotic.

We will never tell you that your opinion doesn't count.

We will never waste your lives for power.

We will hold our leaders to a high ethical standard and when they succumb to lust for power, WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

If we forget this, please, please, please, remind us.

We need you to do this. You are America as much as we are. Let's go.

Actually, it is a pretty good post and a very bright silver lining in a site that usually offers only ugly, dark clouds.

YOu won based on lies and deception. I spent nearly everyday trying to get people to see the truth. Take my words to the bank, without your little propaganda machine, you're dead in the water. And even if America is beyond repair, even if the USSA is born, I'll still fight to my last breath and the Lord is still in control. And His Holy Vengeance, He will repay.

Beware the judgment of the righteous, scum.

Yeah, won't accept corruption in your own party? Jefferson. A liberal friend of mine is planning on voting for him in the run-off.. Because the other one 'is too religious.'

Tell us another one - because I don't think there's many around who have had two people convicted for bribing them while they continue to run for office.

That resounding silence you hear is the graciousness of Republicans and their supporters when they happen to lose an election.

Al Gore, John Kerry, that weird Kennedy kid, and all you whinging moonbat losers should learn by example when Hillary goes down in flames in two years.

You won't though. You'll scream "Fraud!" and send in armies of lawyers and trash the whole country in a screaming tantrum because the election didn't go your way.

It'll be fun watching the whole country learn exactly what kind of people are in charge, once Pelosi and Rangel and Conyers start appearing on their televisions every night. It'll be like "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest."

Why don't you all just calm down and listen. This isn't some PR spin — this is the definition of a gracious winner, so stop whining. Democrats may be a lot of things, but they certainly don't want to alienate anyone. This is for real. Why don't we agree to disagree about certain things and work together to make real improvements in areas that really matter, you know, to real people? Screw gay marriage and abortion talk — we're at war, remember? We need to put our focus on rebuilding Iraq, putting a stranglehold on al-Qaeda, and winning this war.

If you don't want to work together with the Democrats to end the war in Iraq, aren't you enabling the terrorists?

Nice of them to reach out.

We will do our best to reduce the number of abortions in our country.

...by doing everyhing we can to stop any limit on abortion whatsoever...

We will never tell you that you are unpatriotic.

"Chicken Hawk!"

We will hold our leaders to a high ethical standard and when they succumb to lust for power, WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

I must say, this one makes me laugh.

They have already totally failed. 8 years of Clinton is concrete and irrefutable evidence. 3000 dead citizens on 9/11 is a taste of what is in store, if their track record holds up. And fully expect cover-ups, destroyed documents, and disappeared witnesses in the process, as we have seen during Clinton's reign. DU is nothing if not mendacious and ridiculous.

You really think quotes like the following are gracious and not accusatory:

You've got to be kidding me. Someone feeds you a lump of shit, and you swallow it with a smile because he frosted it.

No, the Democrats are not like the Republicans. They do not cannibalize. I'm also a member of DU — and when someone at DU feels this way and posts it, they're entitled! No one's going to castigate them for doing so.

How little you think of these people — they have big hearts and sharp minds. Even the "hate-GOP" crowd (and I know hundreds in my own life) only want what's best for the country.

Folks, let's get to work.

I promise to now do what I have never done before, what I have refused to do before, and what I have worked to pillory anyone who has tried to do to my party before. TRUST ME!

I will believe this is "real" when they actually start living up to these promises. Starting with Jefferson. Starting with Reid. Starting with "working together" by compromising on THEIR position with the republicans.

If you don't want to work together with the Democrats to end the war in Iraq, aren't you enabling the terrorists?

Please... The democrats have stated far to many times they wish to simply END our involvement in Iraq, not to WIN this war as a central piece in the war on terror. Don't lie to us, when the truth of the dem position is widely known - trumpeted in fact by their failed vengeance against Lieberman in Connecticut.

So... um... you wanna talk about, like, the country... or something? Or you just wanna call me gay? 'Cause my "stupid kumbaya" fiancé is sitting right next to me, and she's pretty sure I'm not.

WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. I'm here to defend the poster on DU because, well, I think he/she really said what needed to be said at the moment.

I don't hate republicans. For a democrat, I'm awfully conservative. Barry Goldwater is my first cousin. However, I'm losing hope by the minute.

Yeah, maybe, if it had any basis in fact. Half of the things on that list are laughable. They have proven time and time again that they reward corruption in their party, they do not hold thier own accountable. Annd they do not tolerate diversity of opinion. They silence opposing opinion at every opportunity.

Except that we know, as you know, that this is all post-election happy talk that's about as sincere as a three-dollar bill. You people and your media have spent the last six years calling us racists, bigots, mouth-breathing idiots, theocrats, Nazis, baby killers and war criminals. And now we're supposed to believe that you really weren't serious, and now you're interested in just getting along?

This isn't "gracious winning" - it's arrogant, condescending bullshit, and as far as I'm concerned, you can go rub it in someone else's face.

WOW! What planet are you on?
Maybe this particular guy doesn't - BUT the VAST VAST majority don't give a damn! The only thing most of them understand is whine whine whine "I diden git my way!! sob"
"I'm smarter, better, and more liked than you....and now that we're in charge you're all going to do whatever we want...and..and.."why can't we all just get along?"

As far as Iraq is concerned - There's absolutely no doubt that it's the single most important issue of our time!!!
The problem is - the Dems can't be trusted, at all, to help in any meaningful way to achieve victory there. There are just too many of them who believe either that we "can't" win or that we shouldn't even be over there.

Well, if you insist.

Look at candidates like Webb, Tester, and Hodes. These guys were total unknowns until the netroots at DU and Daily Kos brought them to the forefront and raised millions for their campaigns.

This is what the democrats want: government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
