But this morning I felt different, that perhaps this freefall of our country is a good thing in that from the ashes that will result at the bottom splat, we can rebuild the country properly and fulfill the vision of the Founding Fathers: a country of fairness, equality, and diversity. Instead of the American Eagle, our symbolic animal could be the Phoenix to represent the undying hope that True Americans hold for a better life for all not just a select few.

So go ahead Bush, preach your words and make your laws. Let your Neocon, Business, UberRight, and Religious friends dictate policy. Show us just how your world view with its narrow, intolerant, discriminatory blinders can apply to all peoples fairly. Prove to us that a Christian America with a substantial non-Christian population can be impartial. Demonstrate to us that Big Business can call the shots and can value humanity over profits. Stay in Iraq. Invade Iran and North Korea. Go ahead. Do it. ou've got the buttons.

When it all fails and you stand there like a buffoon with that befuddled look on your face, don't expect any sympathy from the half of America that didn't vote for you. Don't expect any convenient scapegoats, they've resigned. Don't expect the world to pat you on the back. In fact, the wolves will come to feast on the sheep you've happily led to slaughter. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
