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.
Boy did we pull a train on them!
The Dickens you say.

”Guns Before Butter.”
Did he say it before 1990? Because that's when Clayton Williams said it. He was running against Ma Richards at the time. Naturally she won, and was defeated 4 years later by GWB.
Clayton Williams was the 1990 Texas GOP gubernatorial candidate. He was leading Democrat Ann Richards in the polls, but then he spoke the words that ultimately cost him the governor's race.
Talking to reporters about the weather, he joked that bad weather is like rape: "as long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." Williams' comments created a major firestorm. Nothing else he said throughout the rest of the campaign mattered.
Well, if they didn't wear all those sexy clothes...
What? No Hug? I mention that I was posting for the first time, and I didn't get a big freeper hug? They do that at DU you know. LMAO.

Williams ripped off Bobby Knight, no wonder he lost to Ma Richards he was dumb, not a DUmmie, but dumb.
I thought Mr. Slave was Mr. Garrison's helper. Did he start dating Paris Hilton now too?
My idea is to isolate them..yours is to give them greater exposure and make it easier to find.. It's the perfect solution..works for both of us..
But -- of course -- there really is only one party that citizens would elect -- the Democrats. Anything else must be a conspiracy. (/sarcasm)
Have you tried this area?
A couple has a dog who snores. Annoyed because she can't sleep, the wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman to tie a ribbon around the dog's testicles and he will stop snoring. "Yeah right!" she says.
A few minutes after going to bed, the dog begins snoring, as usual. The wife tosses and turns, unable to sleep.
Muttering to herself, she goes to the closet and grabs a piece of red ribbon and ties it carefully around the dog's testicles. Sure enough, the dog stops snoring! The woman is amazed! Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out drinking with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep and begins snoring loudly. The woman thinks maybe the ribbon might work on him. So she goes to the closet again, grabs a piece of blue ribbon and ties it around her husband's testicles. Amazingly, it also works on him!
The woman sleeps soundly. The husband wakes from his drunken stupor and stumbles into the bathroom. As he stands in front of the toilet, he glances in the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to his privates. He is very confused and as he walks back into the bedroom, he sees the red ribbon attached to his dog's testicles.
He shakes his head and looks at the dog and whispers, "Boy, I don't know where we were, or what we did, but by God, we took first and second place!"
ROFLMAO!!!! I needed a good laugh today.
hehe! :^D
A useless attempt at erudition, since Nanking was raped both metaphorically and physically. Hundreds of thousands of women were not only raped, but subsequently killed.
In addition, the mass murder was much worse than decimation, where only every tenth person is affected.
A lame and ignorant comparison, even for DU...
You apparently didn't see South Park last night. They just demolished Paris Hilton. Instant South Park classic. I can't describe what happened here.
My gosh that was debunked back before "bloggers" when the msm was all there was.
