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.
THANK YOU, SIR! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!!!
Some what off topic:
Darkwing duck was one of my favorite shows growing up. (though Ducktales was better)
What'll they attack us with, spitballs? :P
It's a fact of life that many Freepers, for reasons totally beyond my comprehension, enjoy visiting DU and then posting the highlites, or perhaps lowlites would be a better term of art) here..there are several posts from DU EVERY DAY. So why don't we give them their own forum, along with Chat, Religion, Vets, etc..

BTTT!
EXCELLENT suggestion Ken5050.
'At's what I'm sayin'! :) In this case, I do believe "canyon yodeling" would entail yelling in their ears.
Further more they are accusing the wrong party. We didn't screw 'em.
You, brute, you!
I'd hit you with my purse but my welfare check might fall out.
link?
As an indicator of DU usage that thread has 4 replies over there compared to 44 over here. LOL!!!
Cause it'll boost their already Jovian egos to see that we care about them. :)
This is an example of the DU'ers following their posting manual which starts with...
"Step one- Fill a 12 ounce glass with Vodka."
Hi new poster here. DU has been my favorite form of inexpensive entertainment for months now. I just light a a nice cigar and start laughing my ass off.

"How about the treasonous negotiations with the Iranians to prevent Carter from being re-elected, and allowed Reagan to win ?"
Those 'negotiations' were an ultimatum Reagan made clear after the 1980 election: release our people or he'd go to Congress and ask for a declaration of war.
Lyn Nofziger has talked about this many times over the years.
I liked it too and I still use it because it was my callsign in Bosnia.

You have got to be kidding me. With all the 527s, michale moron, george sorry@$$, whoopeeeeeeeeeeeee and the rest of holleeeeweird did this past election, is not fighting back. Give me a john F'ing skerry break.

As that one unfortunate Texas politican, Clayton I believe, once said, if it's inevitable they might as well lay back and enjoy it.
Actually, I think that was Bobby Knight.
Maybe your DU buddy should "just lay back and enjoy it". Or should that be updated to "bend over and bite the pillow"?
