Flashback: 2004
I generally avoid politics on here, so here's a wimpy way around it ... reposting something from almost 4 years ago. Back in the days before I blogged, I found myself so fed up with the Democratic Party after the November 2004 elections that I wrote this email and sent it off to a bunch of friends.
Soon after that, I started the Home Dipu Forum and used this as the first post. The forum allowed anyone who signed up (which turned out to be a handful of us) to post on a range of topics, from politics to movie and restaurant reviews. The forum enjoyed its quiet little life for a few years until, after it was hacked repeatedly due to a flaw in the forum software, I took it offline for good. And I moved my movie/TV/restaurant reviewing focus to the Home Dipu Reviews blog (which, I swear, I'll start posting to more again).
Meanwhile, as a lazy way to get a "new" post up here, I bring you this rant from the past. Despite my strong urge to edit and modify it slightly, I'm pasting this in as-is ... except for replacing a couple of letters in one word in an attempt at a defense against search engines. Take it for what it's worth, which is the paper it's written on:
November 2004: Choosing hope (lessness)
I quit. The Democratic Party is dead to me. They don't play to win; they play to not lose. The Democratic Party is the Mack Brown of politics. How can you run against a president and party with the results of the past 2 years and lose ground? I thought the Dems were supposed to have learned their lessons from 2000. Yet Kerry and company actually did worse than Gore.
So, that's that. An even stronger Republican monopoly. I give up. I will start shopping for a gun rack for the Excursion I'll be trading in my Passat for. I will scorn people without health insurance and wonder why they don't just work harder and get higher paying jobs. I will praise God every day for blessing us with such a moral leader sprung directly from His brow. I will leave milk and cookies out for the police whenever they conduct a secret search of my home in the name of combating terrorism. I will view all swarthy people with suspicion, including myself, for we are at war. I will remind all of you that thousands of people have died for your right to free speech, now shut up cuz you have no right to talk you liberal commie fascist. I will sing "God Bless America" instead of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during every 7th inning stretch from now until the Rapture. I will drill for oil in the Alaskan wilderness using the sharpened bones of California condors and liberals. I will do my part to help piss off the remaining 8% of the world that doesn't already hate us.
Why even vote for president in 2008? There's no point. The way things stand now, the Dems wouldn't be able to beat a drunken syphilitic chimp who defecates in everyone's drinking water. Who's retarded. And eats babies. Raw. Just as long as he's not getting a bl*wj0b.
If the last four years couldn't get this administration thrown out, I'd hate to see how far things must crumble for that to happen.
Welcome, our holy Republican theocratic rulers. Welcome. Take my civil rights. Please.
Sincerely,
The Swarthy American

For some reason, I didn't remember this one. I love the chimp part. Too funny. If reading that doesn't show you how amazingly quickly things can completely change, I don't know what will. Hmm...that's a lesson we can all take with us for other areas of our life, isn't it?
