Rally Cry for Liberals

[marcello]

Can't give up the fight

 

[Gravity]

When you say "rally" it makes me think of Dawn of War and the "rally" feature that commanders and sergeants have to increase the troop's morale.

That game rox!!

I wish I had played it

From the article:

You cannot leave. You cannot drop the armor now. Why? Because you are needed, more than ever. You are mandatory to keep the energy flowing, the karmic vibrator buzzing, to keep the progressive and lucid half of the nation breathing and healthy and awake and ever reaching out to the half that's wallowing in fear and violence and homophobia and sexual dread, hoping to find harmony instead of cacophony, common ground instead of civil war, some sort of a shared love of a country so messy and internationally disrespected and openly confused its own president can't even speak the language.

After all, you don't hand over all your children the first time the flying monkeys bang on your door. You don't give up your dream house just because a bunch of gangbangers moved in down the block. You become a bit more wary and alert and you stock up on the superlative porn and the expensive wine and the deepened sense of true beauty and sex and love and hope and you hunker down and grit your teeth and dig in for the long haul, and you work on making your own goddamn garden more beautiful than even you could have imagined, because, well, the neighborhood -- and the world -- needs it, more than ever.

LOL, that'll work...

Meanwhile, Hillary's reaching out the the evangelicals...

It might work, maybe they respect her as a woman who stands by her man no matter what he does behind her back, and no matter what brand of cigar he uses. Good old subservient woman.......:roll:

Also, the article is written in the SFGate. We're a touch more liberal around here than most places. Hence the risque methaphors.

Maybe Democrats will start winning elections when they realize that they were beaten by a tiny fraction of elites that are far more elitely adept at manipulating the masses into misidentifying who are the real elite than they.

Republicans are the masters at getting people to vote against their own best interests. "Hell, I don't care about me. I care about values."

one of the most stirring e-mails I received during the outpouring of grief the day after the election was from a young female reader, "an artist, an intellectual and a Jew" who's been living in Mexico and who now says she's so enraged and saddened by the election's ugly outcome that she's preparing to return to the States ASAP, just so she can help, so she can join the resistance, keep the right-wingers from coming after our souls. Now, that's patriotism.

The bottom line: Don't disband the newfound army just because one ugly battle was lost. Mourn, commiserate, lick wounds, lick each other, drink heavily, spit out your stale gum of disappointment and pop in a fresh clove of laughter and spiritual heat and then regroup and sober up and take an even deeper breath and watch in hot wet spiritually emboldened amusement as the cosmic circus unfolds.

It's far from over. The tunnel is just a little darker -- and longer -- than we imagined.

I remembered it and searched on "karmic vibrator" to verify. It's better to use words and/or phrases that would appear rarely as search terms than those that would be common.

Just a search hint from a hick to a smart city-boi. 😉
