Now for the Governing

Watched Fox ???News??? 11/1 for perspective. Got that and some chills.

LIVs have gotten notice lately, but the really scary ones are the Propaganda Dupes.

Paul Gigot was interviewing someone named Dorothy; didn???t get her last name.

*********

PG: ???We???re back with a look at what???s really at stake, where each candidate really stands. Dorothy, for you what are the really big differences, the defining issues here????

Dorothy: ???The differences are attitudinal and political. Basically: how do you feel about our place in the world. We???ve seen a regular line from Mr. Obama in which he seems to indicate that the opinions of the U.S. held IN THE FASHIONABLE SALONS OF THE LEFT all over Europe, and IN ACADEMIA, and IN THE DARK CHAMBERS OF OUR ENEMIES, are something he understands too well.

???In fact, I suspect we will find a SQUISHY, as some would put it, MULTILATERALISM, AT BEST.???

PG: ???Why can???t McCain exploit that? Because in past elections that would have been a really costly position for a Democrat to take.???

Dorothy: ???He simply has not been willing to say: THIS IS HOW OUR ENEMIES SPEAK.???

PG: ???But Dorothy, if he had said that, the PRESS WOULD JUST HAVE ANNIHILATED HIM!???

Dorothy: ???He [McC] has this weakness, MORAL VANITY, SENSITIVITY. He fears what the press will think of him, instead of understanding it.???

???McCain is so clearly who is not receptive TO THE IDEAS OF OUR ENEMIES.???

???Obama said, the first thing he said was, what will you do when you go abroad: Ah, I will go abroad and make amends TO OUR ENEMIES???to others in the world. He sees us as a fallen nation.???

???Fair and balanced??????

After reading your article, I think it needs more depth and insight about the governing part. Winning that election was climbing a hill compared to the mountain that is laid out before us. I get the real sense that this President-elect sees and understands this. Now that the election is over, perhaps people should re-quiver those poison arrows and help, for a change, take stock of our country. Attacking him is attacking all of US.

If he gets bogged down in favors, revenge, retaliation or anything else most of us would contemplate after that ugly election, then we as a country will fail. I believe the man, when he says the central issue is national unity. The divisiveness and fragmentation in this country has just about consumed us. This MUST be put behind us first, before any other consideration. I believe that's why counties in places like southern Indiana that typically would have given McCain an 80/20 split, went 60/40 instead. It may not have counted much in the overall, but it is a deep indicator that people all over are getting tired of it.

If he moves first toward unification, then, the other things will follow. If he fails to take all of us with him, then his critics will emerge, and the country will suffer. Something unique happened here this election season, and I'm baffled at many people's attempts to cheapen, marginalize, and nullify it. Have we become so cynical to the point of stupidity in this country?

An opportunity rose up on the shoulders of Americans Tuesday night, are we really going to waste it through petty cynicism? Look at the YouTube clips of Manassas and Grant Park. That is something far beyond celebration. It's not party, or celebration, or gloating; it's a genuine movement of the people. Look again: That's what inclusion looks like.

And by the way, after the last 8 years of division, it feels pretty damned GOOD! National healing. Get some! Our President-elect has offered it to everyone. He's begging us all to join. But he does ask that we all do our parts though. Can we not even lift one finger to help him? And sitting back on our fat asses, waiting for him to fail, is a disgraceful and pathetic statement on what it means to be an American.

I do know one thing; the intelligent approach to national problem solving that is about to unfold, irrespective of the speed in which things are accomplished, will be a breath of fresh air compared to the cordite filled air, shrill irrational screaming, and misappropriation of funds that has dominated everything over the past 8 years.

America is: ONE nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all???
