My advice to my liberal friends in the wake of the recall electionsBy: John LeeJune 9, 2012

Now that a few days have passed since the recall elections and tempers have (somewhat) cooled, I’d like to make a few observations about the responses from Democratic voters. Now, emotions are still probably raw but I want you to read on. This is not a “ha-ha” moment that I am enjoying at your expense. I am just trying to offer some observations and genuine advice.

Don’t get me wrong. Many of you claim that I am a conservative (though that is quite inaccurate) and that I am a Republican partisan. I’m going to make this clear. I support neither the Republican nor Democratic Parties. I became disillusioned with the Republican Party when I realized that Republican politicians hardly ever mean what they say. That being said, I never liked the Democratic Party when I realized that Democratic

politicians do mean what they say.

Election season, which admittedly seems to be happening all the time, is always an ugly time in politics. People get emotional, they get angry, they hurl insults at each other, they assassinate opponents’ characters, etc. The only other thing that brings out the worst in people, and even then not as successfully, as election seasons do is Barton’s Vodka. However, the one very big difference between Republicans and Democrats that I want to highlight is the reactions that both sides have to losing an election.

When Republicans lose an election, there’s plenty of finger pointing at each other, to be sure. The Social Conservatives get blamed for losing the moderate vote, the Fiscal Conservatives get blamed for losing the middle class vote, the Paleo Conservatives get blamed for losing the ethnic minorities vote, and the Neo-Conservatives get blamed for everything (not that those damned neo-cons don’t deserve it). After the finger-

john lee (con’t), andrew peterson of OVER NIGHT EMPIRE.

pointing is done though, Republicans mostly all the time get back together (albeit unhappily and involuntarily) and then admit to themselves that the reason they lost the election is because they “didn’t stay true to their principles.”

And that much is almost always true. Republicans hardly ever stay true to their principles once they attain power. It doesn’t have to be repeated that government spending and government expansion grew at an exponentially greater rate during Republican administrations than during Democratic administrations, at least in the last thirty years. The reason for that is that when in the opposition, it is always easy to condemn the government’s tumorous infiltration into our everyday lives. But once they get voted into office, Republicans soon realize that the joy of governing actually lies in governing and not relinquishing power.

And so after losing an election, Republicans say that they have to go back to their roots. Considering how often they have said that, it’s not altogether unreasonable to question their honesty or integrity to their principles. Oh all right, they’re dirty, cheating liars and each and every last one of them ought to be made to watch “Vagina Monologues” over and over and over again until they decide to voluntarily disembowel themselves with sporks.

But that’s the Republican politicians. What about your average Republican voter? Well, for one thing, there is no such thing. The problem with having a Big Tent political party is that it tends to dissolve homogeneity. But assuming for a second that such an entity exists, whatever brand of conservatism that “an average Republican voter” adheres to, they always love the idea of going back to the party’s root, whatever that might mean. At least amongst the voters, there is almost always a “mea culpa” of sorts. This might explain why Republicans have become more conservative over the years and now make Ronald Reagan look like a pinko. Whether or not that is a good thing is a different matter. What I want to talk about is that “mea culpa” attitude that Republicans (whether they mean it or not) have, or at least pretend to have, at the end of an election loss.

The reason I bring it up is that Democrats, politicians and voters alike, almost NEVER express that kind of attitude, pretend or otherwise, after the end of their election loss.

When Walker survived this recall election, the typical response from disappointed Democrats was that monied interests corrupted the election and convinced those dumb Republican hillbillies to vote against their own economic interests.

If you are a Democrat or a liberal reading this and you wonder why the word “elitist” often gets thrown at you (and used very effectively as a derogatory term), THIS is why. When you make the claim that monied interests convince hillbillies to vote against their own economic interests, what you’re actually saying is “I’m smart, you’re not.” I could be wrong but I think it is quite possible that people as a general rule don’t usually like being called an idiot.

john lee (con’t), andrew peterson of OVER NIGHT EMPIRE.

But it’s not just a matter of calling other people stupid that is a major flaw in Democrats’ way of thinking. Another problem with this attitude that Democrats and liberals have is that by blaming their loss on stupid hillbillies who voted for the “wrong” guy, it allows you to believe that you don’t need to look at yourselves in the mirror and ask yourselves “what the hell is it about us that people don’t like?”

I know, you guys think you champion the little guys by supporting unions, and want those greedy rich bastards to pay more in taxes to help pay for Little Timmy’s heart operation, and want to make sure that there is clean water and air for everyone. How could anyone in their right minds not love you, right?

Actually, there’s plenty not to like about your ideas. I’ve written about them. A lot. So have many others who are smarter than I am. A lot. And no, we shouldn’t just agree to disagree. Agreeing to disagree is something that families and friends do so that they won’t let something as petty as a moral question about right and wrong get in the way and make people not want to ever see each other again. I’m not saying that conservatives are mostly right and liberals are mostly wrong. Conservatives are mostly wrong, too. But at least they try to recalibrate their message or go back to their roots or whatever it is that their campaign strategists think will work for this election season. Democrats and liberals tend to go for the “I’m going to shut my ears and scream la-la-la-la very loudly” approach.

Besides “what the hell is it about us that people don’t like” that liberals often don’t ask themselves, liberals also tend not to ask “what the hell is it about the other guy that people seem to like.” Yes, Republicans can be incredibly repulsive, and with good reason(s). But what does that say about your political party’s ideas when your preferred candidate can’t beat Scott Walker? Seriously, the man is not that far off from being compared to Richard Nixon. And Tom Barrett still lost. That’s saying something.

The answer, by the way, is not just how much a candidate spends in campaigning. A lot of fuss was made over the fact that Scott Walker outspent Tom Barrett in this recall election, thus implying that the ONLY reason that Walker was able to win (besides grumbling of fraud) is that he had more money to burn than Barrett did. That argument is really weak.

You want me to prove it? Ok, using the same logic, let’s go back to the 2008 presidential election. During that campaign season, then Senator Obama outspent Senator McCain by three to one. By using your logic, would I then be correct in saying that the ONLY reason that President Obama won that election is because he had more money to spend than Senator McCain did? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

In 2008 and 2009, when President Obama won the election, conservatism was pronounced dead and everyone and their grandmothers said that Republicans will be in the political wilderness for a while and must do some soul searching. Turns out that prognosis was an exaggeration. Similarly, it is an exaggeration to say Walker’s victory is a death knell for progressivism or a vote of no confidence against the Obama adminstration. No matter how much I pray and wish it away, progressivism is not going to go away any time soon. But a little bit of soul searching might be in order. Just saying.

Mathematical Divide and RuleBy: kaleeM rajAhttp://artsscape.webs.com

You divide people;Add nothing to their livesAnd only multiply their strivesI’m too clever by halves, it’s true.But what fraction of stupid are you?

Honey IslandBy: Robin Leehttp://creativecollectivity.ning.com

Things aren’t quite the same on Honey Island,when love’s not on the line.The things we thought would never change,have changed so much with time.

The fields and woods are barren,and caked with frozen snow.Walking fast into the past;is no where I should go?

Orange-ember-sun has just begunto shine over the edge of the earththe death of the day, as the light fades away,gives night a new birth.

Mr. Mead’s magical Marshfield,sacred and a vast,may be frozen in the present,but melts memories from the past.

I re-live these melted memories.The phantom kisses and wind bow.All the dismissed bliss that we miss,or that we’ll never know.

I turn my back on the past with out thinking,and head forward toward dark east,and as I wander west I wonder if I did my bestby doing my very least.

Time’s have changed on Honey Islandfor the wrong, or for the right,but when love’s not on the line, I’ll have plenty of time,to contemplate through the night.

That we’re alive for the moments,that makes life worth living.Believing that receivingis the reason for giving.

Clarity’s a rarity,but it shines like the light from above.We I realize with unsurprised eyesthat the most important thing is love.

So as night fades into morning,as tomorrow turns today.my heart stays warm in the morningas I feel time slip away.

Past 4By: Robin Leehttp://creativecollectivity.ning.com

It’s past 4:30 and I’ve ate too much.It’s 4:30 and I’m a bit drunk.My ears are ringing from the singing.My brain’s swimming with thought’s I’ve thunk.

It’s 4:40 and I’m nostalgic,for all the time that’s past.Time’s been spinning since the beginning,first-fast to the last.

The fuzzy buzz of just because,a family of faces.We’re all here together,despite the phases of places.

Snow falls down in slow motionas I try to find my breath.The many minute momentslead us from birth to death.

The jokes, the smokes the memories,made as quickly as they’re lost.The cents spent can’t make a denton love’s priceless cost.

Yes love is the word that binds us,that links our soulful hearts.That moves us to the ending,from the very start.

The love of family, the love of friends,the love of the worldly self.That defends what forced-fate sends,determining our health.

4:50 in the morning,quickly turns to 5.And death will come without warning,so give thanks that we’re alive.

LovesickBy: Gale Acuff

No Sunday School for me today--I’m sickand anyway it’s raining and I walkto church and back again, my parentssleep late on weekends but they send me sinceI need the morality, either thator they just want me out of the house ormaybe both, if wanting me gone is moral.I don’t really care. I’m ten years old andit won’t be long before I can quit schooland run away, the circus maybe, orthe Navy, or to live like a hobo,or to go to California and bea movie star. Miss Hooker’s my teacherat Sunday Scool and she’ll be the onlyone I miss while I’m gone, her red hair andgreen eyes and freckles. After I threw up

this morning I came back to my bedroomand for a moment thought that my extrapillow was her--or is that she, I failedthat test in regular school, damn pronouns--but I guess it was just wishful thinking,but it would be a fine thing to have hertake care of me when I’m sick, I’d want tobe sick all the time, then I’d get betterand take care of her, get a full-time joband buy her things--rings and a new car andflowers and candy and clothes and stockings.And a new Bible, her old one’s worn outor almost, it looks as old as God is.And a motorcycle. She’d ride on back

but it would still be hers but it can’t bepink. And I guess we’ll have us some babies,as many as she’s good for at her agebecause she’s 25 now and she’ll beover 30 by the time I’m a manso we’ll have to hurry up and have themand I guess I’ll learn how to find them,but I think she’ll go to the hospitallike they do on TV, she’ll have a roomand I’ll have to wait outside and smoke andpace and be nervous and buy some cigars

to hand out, not to the ladies of course,for every baby we have, pink onesfor girls and blue for boys, cigars I mean,though come to think of it the only onesI’ve seen are brown. Then she’ll die before meone day, will Miss Hooker, and I’ll be blueand go to bed alone and her pillowwill remind me of her. I’ll hold her--it--close at night and never forget heruntil I fall in love again, if I’mnot too old, and get married all overand maybe have more babies and when Idie and go, I hope, to Heaven, I’ll seeMiss Hooker there and I’ll bet she cries, she’sso glad to see me and I might cry, too,but in a manlier style, but then shemight get on my case about my secondwife and maybe ask me which one I lovebetter so I’ll have to be careful howI answer but I’ve got plenty of timeto think of something until then so Iwon’t have to think fast later, she’s pretty

sharp and last week took away my Hawkmancomic book which I had hidden in mySunday School workbook and I was hopingto get it back today but I’m too sickto be in class. I miss her and wonderif she wonders where I am. Don’t worry,Baby, I whisper to my pillow, Iain’t dead yet. And Father once told me, Son,you’ve got to make the women want you, andhe should know, he sleeps on the sofa someand Mother sleeps alone. It must be love.

Once Upon a Time In...(part one)By: Jan Haskell

Once upon a time, there was a country. Some would like to call it a nation, and it was often referred to as a nation, but truth be told, it showed none of the attributes that make a nation. At one time, before the great incursion, it could have been called a nation. But even the native people living there broke into dozens of lose confederations of tribal lines to form separate nations. So even from it’s earliest history, this country was broken into separate territories.

But I digress

Soon after the great incursion, the new peoples sought to organize their territories under one flag with consolidation to a central power. This structuring became a great advantage to these new people. Soon they were able to expand so that their territories reached from one end of the country to the other.

(The native people were pushed, pulled, and defeated in all attempts to slow or stop the expansion of the new peoples. So much so, that they were put to the extremes of life, and the nation that should have been, was broken) However, this is the story of man, move, conquest, and disperse the native population.
