5. yeah, I know what you mean.
sometimes it seems overwhelming and you want to roll over and go back to sleep for a long, long time.


there are so very many errors, deceptions, ruinous policies, blunders, mistatements, lies, ill-conceived initiatives, arrogance and foolishness it's hard to keep up with it all.


but what happens over the next year will determine the country's course for the next ....10? 20? 50? 100? years.

so we must find the energy somewhere to fight like hell. we must help each other find it.

13. Way too dignified.
Try one with a picture of him doing his war chants at Yale. Or maybe that shot of him after the pretzel attack.

16. LOL
Rearrange the words a little and release it as a rap song.

It's kind of scary when you see it all together like this.

You absolutely ROCK OUT!

Everything you have posted the last couple of days has been awesome.

Amazing and thank you for the tremendous resource you are!

18. so so true....
There are some days I can't even figure out which argument I will use in trying to educate folks gently. The reasons fly in so fast, one can forget one's thread of thought. And then you realize THAT too is part of the plan. "Circuit Overload".

This is a wonderful post! Thanks for taking the time.

19. When you put it all out there in print like this....
it is overwhelming and depressing!
Beautifully done though but you
must feel awful.
I go through periodic spells of
Bush fatigue....take a break from
it all and do something that has
nothing to do with politics.
This was posted a while back and
may be helpful.....you are not
alone.

22. Now I remember why I'm so sad and tired.
It's actually very powerful and would be good "out there" for the public in some fashion.

23. the allusion to "Clinton fatigue"
that Orwellian phrase makes me think of this Onion classic, written at the time of Bush's inauguration:

Bush: our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over

25. I'm with you TIA
Seems like all I can think about is *'s lies. Every day I tune in here to DU to see what further malfeasance has been perpetrated upon us. It has become an obsession--an understandable one given the grave consequences--but an obsession nevertheless.

I have to remind myself that * is only a symbol for an evil that goes very deep and has been around a very long time--was already present at the beginning of this country. * and those interests he represents are its current malignant manifestation.

We are at a turning point in not only American history, but human history. I am as certain of this as I am certain that I am sitting here writing this, yet it is difficult to know what might be the right words.

We are at a turning point in history--the fate of the whole of humanity will be determined by what happens in the next few years--by what decisions are made, who makes them, and how they are made. Somehow we need to become increasingly conscious of this fact. By 'conscious' I mean not only aware in our thoughts, but in our feelings and in our bodies, down to the marrow of our bones. Somehow we need to find that one weakness in the infrastructure of evil (there always is one) and there apply focused pressure with all our might.

It is not merely coincidental that 'The Lord of the Rings' is being presented to our collective conscience at this time. Heroic myths such as this speak of a real, human need and a real, human possibility.

It is important that we awaken to the political/economic/environmental realities that now have us where we are--the consequences of all human history that has gone before us. But at the same time we have to search for something WITHIN ourselves, search for the emergence of humane qualities which seem quite at odds with 'the enemies' that not only surround but permeate us. Is there anything of purity, uncorrupted by the taint of fear and greed? Ultimately we must all face the consequences of our choices; the consequences of how consciously we have lived--or not. This is our fate. That it may be possible for us to be more than we have so far been--that is our hope.

BMU
