We Don't Live In YOUR Country

Let me go slowly for you, and use lots of small words - I want to make sure you understand.

WE - the People - do not live in YOUR country.

YOU live in OURS.

See, America is a Constitutional Representative Democracy. A democracy operates under the principle of "majority rule." That means, the majority define what the country is - not the minority.

Thus, as you rave about taking YOUR country back from the rest of us, you are not making any sense - which is not unusual for you, I suppose.

You talk about arming yourself. You speak blithely of violent upheaval.

What? Do we have to kick your asses every 150 years or so? Last time you numbskulls talked this way, you tried to secede, and got your asses kicked, to paraphrase Peter Griffin, back across the Donna Dixon line.

See, this thing was decided long ago. WE WON. YOU LOST. Kind of like today.

So stop blathering on about how this is YOUR country. YOU only represent about 25% of the population, while the rest of us, are, well, the rest of us.

You feel things are unfair, because for eight years, and through three elections, you held the reigns of power in America.

And how did you acquire power? By cheating, of course. The Supreme Court violated the Constitution so your guy George, could seize power. Then you cheated and stole to win mid-terms in 2002. Then you outright stole the election in 2004 (see Ohio and Deibold).

Stealing a thing, does not entitle you to it for life. And yes, we understand your disappointment. We know how to empathize with people - even people as vile and hate-filled as you.

So go ahead. Rant. Rave. Threaten.

You perceive our kindness, willingness, and generosity, to be weakness.

You've made that mistake before, and got your asses kicked for it.

See, the really weak ones are those who cannot GIVE to another, who would rather dominate, walk upon the backs of the innocent and helpless, and hate, hate, hate.

It takes much more strength to love, to give, to help the fallen up. It takes a strength you envy and seek, but fail to grasp at every turn.

We'd love to show you how to be strong, we really would. But your self-hatred will not allow this, and it seems you would much rather wallow in your own crapulence.

Go ahead and wallow - we won't stop you. Self-pity, self-hatred, and fear, are all that possess you. These things, in fact, define you.

And stop telling us you want your country back. It was NEVER YOURS.

It has always, belonged to Us.

But if you choose to embrace our Constitution and Democracy, the door is wide open.
