Dear Conservatives,

Published by threedegrees at 12:09 pm under Politics Edit This

It’s not working. You can lie, and bleat, and bemoan all you wish, but you’re failing. Both in terms of this Presidential election, and in down ticket races as well.

Your willingness to believe so wholeheartedly in the fabrications of the most fringe elements of your party has  revealed the “straight talk”, and it’s laughable. So bring on the vitriol, if you must. Drag out every plastic skeleton your imagination can muster. Slander and libel away; it only sticks in the echo chamber of your dwindling cadre of the misinformed, the unapologetically anti-intellectual-the “values” voters who wrap themselves in the American flag like it’s a security blanket (even though it’s a sensory deprivation tank).

While your mind races out of control with more conspiracy theories than available tin-foil hats, the rest of America is planning for the future. We are looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead, because it will be our victory. Our triumph. And we can do it without you if we must. I’d rather not; I’d much rather have one nation- with Americans working together to better their country and allow progress instead of longing for the days of make believe.

This isn’t a white America, or a black America. It most certainly not  the United States of America, but we’re working on that. You’re welcome to come along, but you’ve got a lot of growing up to do. I hope, for your sake and ours, that you manage to do this…otherwise it’s going to be a long time before your voice is anything more than a whisper.

    United States seems like that elusive pursuit of happiness..it is there in writing but not come into fruition in the Real World.
