The Concession Speech Kerry Should Have Given
My fellow Americans, the people of this nation have spoken, and spoken
with a clear voice. So I am here to offer my concession. I concede
that I
overestimated the intelligence of the American people. Though the
true
majority of people disagree with the President on almost every issue,
you
saw fit to vote for him. I never saw that coming. That's really
special.
And I mean "special" in the sense that we use it to describe those
kids
who ride the shorter school bus and find ways to injure themselves
while
eating pudding with rubber spoons. That kind of special.
I concede that I misjudged the power of hate. That's pretty powerful
stuff, and I didn't see it. So let me take a moment to congratulate
the
President's strategists: Putting the gay marriage amendments on the
ballot
in various swing states like Ohio...well, that was just genius.
Genius!
It got people, a certain kind of fearful people, to the polls. The
unprecedented number of folks who showed up and cited "moral values"
as
their biggest issue, those people actually changed history. These are
the
folks who consider same sex marriage a more important issue than war,
or
terrorism, or the economy! Who'd have thought the election would
belong
to them? Well, Karl Rove did. Gotta give it up to him for that.
I concede that I put too much faith in America's youth. With 8 out of
10
of you opposing the President, with your friends and classmates dying
daily in a war you disapprove of, with your future being mortgaged to
pay
for rich, old peoples' tax breaks, you somehow managed to sit on your
asses and watch the Cartoon Network while aging homophobic hillbillies
carried the day. You voted with the exact same anemic percentage that
you
did in 2000. You suck! Seriously, you do!
There are some who would say that I sound bitter, that now is the time
for
healing, to bring the nation together. We in blue states produce the
vast
majority of the wealth in this country and pay the most taxes, and you
in
the red states receive the majority of the money from those taxes
while
complaining about 'em. We in the blue states are the only ones who've
been attacked by foreign terrorists, yet you in the red states are
gung ho
to fight a war in our name. Blue state civilians are the klix
victims
and targets of the war on terror, while red state civilians are the
ones
standing behind us and yelling "Oh, yeah!? Bring it on!" As long as
you
can wave your high-powered guns and think you're actually free, you're
pretty brave.
More than 40% of you Bush voters still believe that Saddam Hussein had
something to do with 9/11. I'm impressed by that, truly I am. Your
sons
and daughters who might die in this war know it's not true, the people
in
the urban centers where al Qaeda wants to attack know it's not true,
but
those of you who are at practically no risk believe this easy lie
because
you can. As part of my concession speech, let me say that I really
envy
that luxury. I concede that. The President played on your fears, and
you
foolishly forgot that he was the one in charge when 9/11 actually
happened. It was on his watch that al Qaeda struck, and not Saddam
Hussein. I wonder if he told you that left-handed people were
worshipers
of the devil, if you'd actually believe that, too. Probably! How
quickly
history becomes distorted by those who shout their version the
loudest.
Healing? We, the people at risk from terrorists, the people who
subsidize
you, the people who speak in glowing and respectful terms about the
heartland of America while that heartland insults and excoriates
us...we
wanted some healing. We spoke loud and clear. And you refused to
give it
to us, largely because of your "high moral values". You thought you
knew
better: America doesn't need its allies, doesn't need to share the
burden,
doesn't need to unite the world, doesn't need to provide for its
future.
Hell no! Not when it's got a human shield of us pointy-headed,
immoral,
unconfrontational breadwinners who are willing to pay the bills and
play
nice in the vain hope of winning a vote that we can never have.
Because
we're "morally inferior," I suppose, we are supposed to respect your
values while you insult ours. And the big joke here is that for
twenty
years, we've done just that.
It's not a "ha-ha" funny joke, I realize, but it's a joke all the
same.
And, I make this pledge to you today: In the next election, there will
be
no pandering. Next time we will not pretend that the simple folk of
America know just as much as the people who devote their lives to
serving
and studying the nation and the world. They don't! You've proved
that by
your foolish voting record.
I'm talking to you, you ignorant, slack-jawed yokels, you
bible-thumping,
inbred drones, you redneck, racist, chest-thumping, perennially-duped
grade school grads.
Thank you, and may God, and we always said He exists, bless each and
every
one of you and the rest of the world, even our enemies, in spite of
your
stupidity and hatred for the rest of His creation, which you're intent
on
letting Bush and his bully boys destroy.

Nego seli se ti na northeast ili west coast.

Prezervativ se rabi u svrhu punjenja mozga u njega.

Evo jedna analiza Slavoja Zizeka, svijetski pozntaog i uglednog mislioca sa, uslovno receno, nasih prostora. Jes' da nije pregledna, precizna i pitka kao ova postirana tabela ali mozda nekog zainteresuje ova Zizekova analiza posljednjih americkih izbora.

Slusao sam sinoch, na NPR-u- intervjuisu neku glupachu babu s juga koja kaze kako je presretna da je Bush pobijedio.
Ona (i njena parohija) ga odobrava zbog - pazi sad: MORAL VALUES.
Inace statistika kaze da je (quote NPR):
22% ljudi glasalo po pitanju - moral values
20% po pitanju ekonomije
.
Zakljucak: so called "creative scientists" (oni koji propovjedaju vjeronauku u javnim skolama i misle da je noeva arka stvarno postojala) bi radije bili gladni, nego dozvolili homosexualcima da se vjencaju.
...eh....
... a da ne spominjem stvarne MORAL VALUES sadasnjeg predsjednika

ovo je ziva istina. Onu noc kad je bilo glasanje smo se slozili da glupani glasaju za glupana.
To je ziva istina. Demokrati gube jer njihove poruke ne razumije pola onih kojima se obracaju. Ako hoce da pobijede bogami mora se puno raditi. A najvise da se ova zemlja socijalizuje, da bi svi mogli imati pravo na dobru edukaciju, i da bi nakon te edukacije mogli da shvate o cemu se zapravo radi.
Samo jedan nacin ima da Demokrati pobjede na nekim izborima:
Da republikanici pravo sjebu sve i da daju kandidata koji ce biti puno ruzniji od demokratskog.
Znao sam da su ovi ovde tipovi dumb, to je ocigledno. Al da ima ova rank lista e to nisam mogao ni pretpostaviti...
maloprije gledam raspored IQ po sivjetu. Nema nas u tim procjenama, ali ima bugara, rumuna, rusa, a mi smo tu negdje. Pa me cudi jedna stvar, kako to da mi koji smo super inteligentni uvijek zavrsimo u nekom od ratova.
