Very well said. I have experienced this "Sweet Nastiness" also, you want to choke on it. I have sometimes just asked them plain out "Why do you all HATE so much, you hate everything. I do not believe they ever wake up to a GOOD day, miserable people all. There is nothing you can do for people that live in the abyess, they want to be there, trouble is they are dragging the whole Democratic party with them, pity to the Zel Miller Dem. party. Hope he can change things, but I doubt it.
It was most interesting today when I stepped into my American History class right after I wrote my post.
The professor of that class is an obvious Democrat, although he never quite comes out and says it. Running up to the election, we were covering the Constitution and the electoral system - to his credit, he was very fair on the matter, although he believed Gore had won Florida.
Today things were a bit odd in class. He started off talking about the election, stating that it was over and that the President has won with a clear mandate. I could sense a certain level of sadness in his voice, as if this was not quite what he had expected. He mentioned the country needing to come together and uniting behind the president.
During the rest of the class he was a bit distant at times. We were covering the period of time after the War of 1812: the Era of Good Feeling where America was very united.
Needless to say, it was quite satisfying... I think more of these people realize that they have been beat than wish to admit it at the moment.
I think that's true. The Dems thought they would win by convincing people that they were miserable and that they should feel bitter and resentful. The actual facts of the matter - that most people here are prosperous, free and have no external reason for unhappiness - are not important.
One of my sister's real estate clients called up to ask about a house that was listed. She is a very well off woman married to a periodontist; they are retired, and own houses all over the place. She said to my sister, "of course, maybe I shouldn't even bother looking for another house, now that we're going to have to be expatriates." It took my sister a moment to realize what the woman was talking about. She is clearly one of those nutty wealthy leftists who thinks they're going to have to leave the country now that the dreaded Bush has won! What flakes these people are!
Actually, Rush just said what I have thought for the last day: these people still don't realize that they've been beaten.
That is just too bad.
I suppose they will only know the fact when their noses are rubbed in it. I was hoping it would not have to come down to that.
