RAPE Anniversary: It's Been One Month Since Nov. 2
It is now the 1 month anniversary of what cannot be described very well, other than the forceful rape and assault of the body politic by the Republican Party. Please note that I am not trying to diminish the crime of sexual rape by this comparison, but using it in the same sense that we use in history in referring to the "Rape of Nanking", in which a civilian population was decimated.
Using this analogy, as well as those of an abused spouse, can give us some insight into the pyschology of this situation.
First of all, depending upon your point of view, you may agree that America was raped previously:
Certainly in 2000, but how about the Iran Contra cover-up, which allowed George Bush Sr. to become President?
How about the treasonous negotiations with the Iranians to prevent Carter from being re-elected, and allowed Reagan to win ?
I think reasonable people can agree that America has been the victim of multiple instances of electoral rape and abuse by the Republican party. There are different ways to steal elections other than stuffing the ballot box, and they have been very creative in this regard.
So what has the Democratic Party done to protect itself, and in fact all Americans from this abuse ? The answer is very little, and may be understood using the analogy of an abused spouse. The abused spouse is often afraid to fight back or appeal to higher authority, because of the fear than something even worse might be done to them. The abused spouse cannot envision life without their partner, just as Democrats and the blue states feel obligated to honor the "marriage" contract between the states.
For an abused spouse, sometimes the only recourse that seems to make sense, when life becomes so degraded and intolerable, is to reciprocate, and respond to the violence with violence in return.
Maybe in the political realm, this may turn out to be the only answer for those who love freedom. The opposition does not play by the rules of a civilized and democratic socity. Maybe it's time to stop playing by the rules, as well.

That is the funniest thing I've read today! :)
Doesn't the word "anniversary" directly imply something having to do with "years?"
The only people who go on about 1 month "anniversaries" are girls in high school. However, it is not entirely out of the question that one such wrote the post, so, eh.
Stuffing the ballot box. The time honored Dem method of stealing elections.
It's like the summer heat down south. It's inevitable...just lay back and enjoy it.
And the hits just keep on coming.......
The liberal extremist PROGRESSIVE socialist pond scum just don't get it.
