Advice from a paranoid: Keep holding your breath until noon on Tuesday.
   Advertisements [?]

Until the stroke of noon this coming Tuesday, Bush/Cheney will still have their blood-soaked hands from Hell on the levers of power. So as of the time of this post, you will only have to hold your breath for a little more than 72 hours.

Does that sound insane? After living through the last eight years, how can any rational human being still not grasp that these people are capable of anything -- ANYTHING?

It isn't necessary to once again list their countless crimes,Yes we know..you never do because you can`t or the pure evil they have visited upon the people of this country and this planet. (Not to mention crimes they may still be committing at this very moment that we may never learn of.)

All that's necessary is that we make it through the next three days. And for those who don't yet "get it," it's a bit like hoping to survive three days in a room with Hannibal Lector.

2. Since this nasty bunch says the opposite of what they do,
   I wonder if this is why Bush keeps saying things like, "I wish the new President the best. I really do." Then again, maybe the last 8 years have been about making the rest of us paranoid and afraid of what their next move may be and they're just sitting around drinkin a beer laughing their asses off at our paranoid musings.
   

This one has figured it out....quick someone disappear them.

7. I want a 1000% guarentee Cheney will be sitting on the platform.
   And Bush and Poppy Bush.

Then I will feel 2% less paranoid.

And still 100% a lunatic.

17. "It's not like Obama is going to usher in fundamental change..."

You may be right. However, millions, and perhaps hundreds of millions of us are hoping that we are seeing another FDR taking over the reins of power from George W. Bush, the modern day equivalent of Herbert Hoover. And if you never read a book, Herbert Hoover's policies, and those of his predecessors, brought on the Great Depression. And right now, it looks like Reagan/George W.'s "ideology" has brought on a second Great Depression.

All I can say, LWolf, is I hope you are wrong. For 30 years, the Republicans have done everything possible to destroy our belief in government. They convinced some number of idiotic people to believe in the "wonderfulness" of unregulated capitalism. What a great idea. Let Wall Street's "greed is good" people, and "corporate CEOs" making more wealth than exists in "King Solomon's Mines," run amok and steal everything they can lay their hands on.

Do you really believe that Obama is going to allow the biggest heist in history to continue? Do you see no difference between Bush/Cheney and Obama?

If you don't grasp the onset of what so many of us hope is a new era, I pity you. Conversely, if you're right, a new era of prosperity and renewal will not come about. And, if you are right, the sands of time on the human species will run out faster than anyone anticipated. The result would be a return to a feudal era in which the vast majority of us will be peasants under wealthy overlords. Or, it could be the final destruction of our species.

You really should be living in dread of the possibility that you are right.

 

Note to lurking DUmmies....

We still own your thoughts and minds and always will.
It isn`t hard,we don`t even try..you just let it happen.

I have the utmost confidence that these paranoid nutbags will continue to provide entertainment regardless of Obama. 

They may redirect the focus slightly but they're still going to be loud , proud and insane.

At least we have the enjoyment of watching their helpless and hopeless flailing about searching for someone to make them feel like they matter in the world.

What's in the water down there in Florida?

When the large-proboscised primitive was still living in his parents' basement up there on Staten Island, he was "off," but not overly so.

But then Oscar Wilde moved down to Florida, where he doesn't like anything about the south, and now he's more deranged than ever.

I think the large-proboscised primitive should move back up to New York.

As an Upstate New Yorker my whole life (except for my time in the Army), gee, Coach, thanks a lot.

Well now, you only half-comprehended my statement, sir.

I think Oscar Wilde would be happier, more content, more fulfilled, living up there than down in Florida, where he's obviously miserable.

No slur on people from New York, one of my favorite states.

Okay, sir, my bad--I thought that you were wishing him on the people of New York, two of which are Carl and myself.  I was wondering, What did we do to deserve him, anyway?

I think that the Oscar Wilde primitive would be happier in Commiefornia, or another paradise of the workers and peasants (North Korea?).

Let it go, Big-nose.  Everyone who has ever read DU already knows what clowns you are, there is no point in pretending the apocalypse you've been preaching 'any minute now' for almost eight years is still going to happen next week.  You're only fooling yourself.

So after the Big Zero gets sworn in. What happens? They (Meaning DU) going to explode or something?

There is already a good deal of friction going on over there.

Many threads by people who clearly are already very unhappy about Obama not being "left enough", and this is before he's even taken office.

Once they no longer have a common enemy (GW Bush) to unite them, that place is going to get really amusing to watch.

Just like they did during the Clinton years...  They will spend some effort on eating their own.

It is fun to watch.

Obama is faced with a power struggle within his own party and this DUmmie is worried about Republicans?  Uh, dude, I'll vote for the GOP (or conservative) candidate until the day I die, but even I realize that right now, the GOP is in disarray with no clear leadership at this point. 

You want to see divisiveness and hatred?  Look in the mirror.

[Bondai]

My money is on the fact that Obama is just as bat shit crazy as the DUmb Monkies are.....time will tell.
