The election

Just a few random thoughts on the past election:

I think one of the reasons this election was and is so divisive is because it involved another resurrection of the Zombie Decade--i.e., the Sixties, the Decade and the Issues that simply WILL NOT DIE! Kerry started it with the Vietnam stuff, but other social issues reflected the Zombie Decade as well, and often unflatteringly for the liberals. Homosexuality is not race, and the struggle for gay rights is not the same as the struggle for black civil rights--this comparison did not and will not work for liberals; the majority of Americans do not see the connection, and resent those who try to equate what is at best a questionable moral issue with the moral clarity of the true civil rights movement of the Zombie Decade.

Second, it is hard to understand how someone like John Kerry could have been nominated for dogcatcher, let alone President of the United States, apart from his deep connection to the most extreme parts of the Zombie Decade. Jane Fonda wasn't going to and couldn't run, so the Necromancer Party ran the next best thing: Kerry. I refuse to let liberals off the hook for nominating and voting for Kerry: Aside from the issues, and there WERE legitimate points of debate, the liberals have embraced people like John Kerry as "Their kind of people". That to me is the most disturbing thing about this election: Significant numbers of Americans saw no disqualifying characteristics in a man as obviously morally flawed as John Kerry.

More to come later, if I can stomach it...
