How Wonkette Screwed Us Over (Explicit)

Sorry, my faithful readers, it's been a while. I've been doing various things since the election... like working on my Math/Computer Science double major.

I am here again to rant about the stupidity of some people (Wonkette?) and why it is a bad idea to try to create a secessionist movement on rebuildtheparty.com if you're a liberal.

At this point I will stop pointing fingers but need to display a very important message.

Thank you, and bear with me. I will post a censored version later.

What the FUCK are you guys thinking? Why in earth would you post something like (note: racist slur) http://ideas.rebuildtheparty.com/pages/general/suggestions/73402 on a website designed to help the republican party?

I would not assume that this is a liberal's work, if not for the fact that the writer proudly told me that he authored the post.

And then there's http://ideas.rebuildtheparty.com/pages/general/suggestions/72840.

This is despicable. I am a liberal. I think free speech is important. But this is just wrong.

This is a very poor reflection on democrats. The republican party is at a pivotal moment right now, and all that we can do is post this bullshit, misguided attempt at a victory lap on a website meant to move the republican party forward.

This only reinforces the idea that all liberals are elitists who think all republicans are variations on a middle-America redneck stereotype. To the conservatives who fit this mold, it is offensive, and personally so. To the conservatives who don't, and I know a fair few, this seems juvenile and makes us liberals seem out of touch.

What the hell is wrong with you? Are you so bored since MyBarackObama has run out of calls to give you? You can't find anything else to do with your time, so you post all the shit from the 1 million strong against McCain groups you were in on Facebook to the website that was meant to move on? What the HELL are you thinking?

This makes me ashamed to be a liberal, if not for the hope that there are some others out there who agree with me on this.

Honestly, your political party isn't just something like a sports team that makes us despise other regions irrationally. Or, I thought it wasn't. But I suppose I'm not perfect.

Apparently, we'll start seeing as many "Obama is A Commie" shirts on the street as we see "Jeter Sucks A-Rod" shirts. And I guess it's fine because we won the presidency, so we're set for good, right?

NO! What did you think, that Obama gets the election and we're good to go? Got away clean? That was only the beginning! The president has a JOB, it's not like baseball where we have the off-season and then we start campaigning again, leading up to another showdown in the fall. That's not what this is about.

We can't just run around with our middle fingers in the air, screaming "FUCK YOU" to the other team. That causes subway fights in the world of sports, but laws and policies have real implications that we can't just forget until spring training.

I'm so sick of politics right now. It might be a while before I post again. I have to figure out why some people can be so stupid sometimes.

I was honestly hoping that we might move on from partisan politics sooner or later. But it seems right now that I'll have to wait.
