Berkeley in Despair, Rage

The Daily Cal

[AVNevis]

These comments come from Uc Berkeley's Daily paper. My comments are in parathesis:

Bush’s campaign, on the other hand, acted in a way that is in perfect congruence with the attitude of his administration: brazen arrogance and go-it-aloneness. Even before all the networks had given Bush the victory, his campaign told reporters Tuesday night that they were declaring victory. At least in 2000, the candidates waited until after the networks had made a final projection before doing so.(FOX, NBC, MSNBC all called it Tuesday night) Granted, the networks got it wrong, but at least the candidates waited. I will give Bush this much credit: He waited until after Kerry’s phone call to make his victory speech.

Without sounding too much like an after-school special, I’d claim that there were no losers on Tuesday. Bush won, obviously. So, too, did Kerry: The nation discovered that this man, once characterized as an arrogant, out-of-touch—almost European—Massachusetts liberal, was actually a great man and a classy guy.(They did?)

With all this talk of healing and unity now, I’d like to take this opportunity to sow the seeds of discord and partisanship. If there’s one thing that’s pissing me off, it’s the outpouring of civility and mutual respect following the election. If I were Sen. John Kerry, I’d be throwing furniture at random people. (Calm yourself, tolenant liberal)

The rains came to Berkeley on Wednesday and have been around ever since. No one is sure if the rain will ever let up, because ever since the truth became clear on Tuesday night, a pall has consumed the left coast. What happened? When did I fall so far out of the mainstream? How did Democrats lose four seats in the Senate and at least three in the House? Which America re-elected President George Bush?(The patriotic one)

But do not give up or think too long that you are out of touch with the United States populace because you disagree with where we are heading. Liberals do not have to move right to win, we just have to pick up the message-building and motive-obscuring tactics that have allowed the party of wealthy tax cuts to win Rust-belt Ohio.(Liberal admits to trying to obscure motive)

I take it for granted that most of the Daily Cal’s readership was less-than-excited about last Tuesday’s results. I feel your pain. If anybody had told me a month ago that President Bush would win the popular vote by more than 3 million people, I would have laughed in his face. Then, I would have paused for a moment. Then, I would have continued laughing.(Never underestimate the evil Karl Rove.)

Did a Berkeley English major compose that title, lol!

[jimfrommaine]

Tonight free republic is just full of laughs and chuckles. It's great.

[ninonitti]

I'm stuned!!!!!!!

[Post Toasties]

Guess they're laughing out the other sides of their faces at Berserkely now. There's professional help available for their anger problem.

Hey, my time at Cal turned me into a conservative! Any thinking person who sees what a dunghole the city has become under the socialists cannot help but be conservative.

[RandallFlagg]

LOL! These things just makes me want to gloat more!

**fires up printer to make more magnetic bumper stickers**

I think I'll take a little drive into Boulder.....

I hope this does not represent everyone in Uc Berkeley because they are involved in many DARPA programs. I don't want to see liberals involved in DARPA's program.

Is this because Republicans can't read?

The Post-Election Stress Trauma (PEST) syndrome is really getting out of hand in the blue states.

That's the LEAST of our problems - Lawrence Livermore has been run by UC FOR YEARS

Can you say WEN-HO LI ?

At this rate, the Chinese can sell us back our nuclear secrets in a couple of years.

Ooops... Looks like I mispelled the title. That's why there needs to be a spell check option when posting new threads. But I apologize to all. My mistake.

[Rome2000]

Kerrys a little man, Bush is a great man.

[EagleUSA]

There is unrest and sadness in our Communist Community in the Bay Area....their Marxist candidate did not win...so maybe they might have to learn a skill, take a bath, and get a job, and start being American citizens...

Absurd thought, I know....

I can see how the truth could do that to the left coast. They're really not used to that sort of thing.

What happened?

You lost. Big time.

When did I fall so far out of the mainstream?

When did you move to Beserkley? My guess: a long, long time ago.

How did Democrats lose four seats in the Senate and at least three in the House?

A return of sanity across the land.

Which America re-elected President George Bush?

Reality dude, reality.

The time is rapidly coming where one of two things will have to be done with liberals:

1) Seize them, one at a time from an area, and psychologically deprogram them as is done with youngsters that fall under the spell of cult leaders, or;

2) Just shoot them down like dogs. That is probably the quickest, easiest, cheapest, and most sucessful method anyway.
