And then there is a certain amount of vindictiveness on the winning side.

Four More Years! AKA: Take That, You Sons of Bitches
So, George W. Bush won. And he’s done so by a solid margin. The 
Democrats’ attempted coup managed to last all of eight hours. Not only 
is the President the first candidate to win a majority of the vote in a 
Presidential Election since 1988, but he also won more popular votes 
than any other candidate in history. The Democrats spent months telling 
us that high voter turnout would equal a win for them but, as it turns 
out, when 60% of the electorate showed up at the polls it translated 
into a Bush lead of nearly four million votes. In short: take that, you 
sons of bitches.

The Democrats are now talking about how this is a signal that Bush 
should “bring the country together”. Translated into American, this 
means “now that you’ve won, you should surrender to us.” The hell with 
that. We’ve won. Winning means not having to say you’re sorry. Bush 
already brought a majority of Americans together: they voted for him. He 
doesn’t need to reach out to them: they need to reach out to him.

If anyone needs to work to “bring the country together” it’s those on 
the left who have divided it so badly. Those who sought to destroy this 
great man should get down upon their knees and beg the victors for 
mercy. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll let a few of them linger on for the 
simple reason that they amuse us. My life’s goal is to see the 
Democratic Party virtually obliterated and left as a rump of people like 
Stephanie Herseth who both mostly agree with us anyways and are easy on 
the eyes.

That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a 
number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women.

Let’s face a hard truth: this was the bitterest Presidential campaign in 
living memory. The Democrats and their allies staked everything on the 
defeat of this President. All of the resources they had accumulated over 
a generation of struggle were thrown into this battle: and they have 
failed. Despite all of their tricks, despite all of their lies, the 
people have rejected them. They mean nothing. They are worth nothing. 
There’s no point in trying to reach out to them because they won’t be 
reached out to. We’ve got their teeth clutching the sidewalk and out 
boot above their head. Now’s the time to curb-stomp the bastards.

The first obvious major fight is going to be over the confirmation of 
the next Chief Justice of the United States and probably a new Associate 
Justice as well. The reason for saying this should be obvious: William 
Rehnquist is an ill man and, I think, the obvious candidate to replace 
him is none other than Clarence Thomas who would be, of course, the 
first black Chief Justice but who would also, much more importantly, be 
the most conservative one in living memory. His seat could then be given 
to another solid conservative and then, once Stevens, Ginsberg, or 
O’Conner goes, we can get a real conservative majority on the court: and 
keep it for a decade or more.

It’s worth stepping back to think about the scale of what we have 
accomplished. We’ve fought back and won against the most destructive 
attack in the modern history of Presidential campaigns. Despite all of 
the books, movies, television shows: despite the seeming involvement of 
all of Hollywood and all of Academia, they lost. They used every trick 
in the book against us: and they lost. We now control the White House, 
the House of Representatives, the Senate, and a majority of State 
Governorships. The Republican Party is now, truly, the majority party in 
the United States.

This is a mandate. Not only for the President to carry on and win the 
War on Terrorism, but also to make other needed reforms. To begin: the 
massive landslides for the eleven state Gay Marriage amendments, even 
the one in Oregon, show that the Federal Marriage Amendment will carry 
if it proves to be needed. Better still, with these majorities, the 
President will have a real shot at enacting some form of entitlement 
reform in the coming years.

This is a decisive moment in American history. There’s no denying this 
fact. The nation stood at the crossroads yesterday and the people choose 
to go the right way. They rejected the Democrat Party and the pernicious 
things that those people stand for.

Michael Moore and his ilk have been rejected by the people. Treason 
didn’t carry the day. Forgeries and lies failed to produce the results 
that they wanted.

It was closer than we’d like, of course. Far too close. I still can’t 
believe that anyone voted for John Kerry. John Kerry was a 
personification of everything that’s wrong with the Democrat Party 
today. A traitor in his youth, he proposed policies of economic division 
at home and which would have brought military defeat abroad. The 
once-proud Democratic Party of people like Franklin Roosevelt, Harry 
Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson has been reduced to such a 
level as to become little better than the party of AIDS, abortion, 
adultery and appeasement.

But, whatever, we won: to hell with the rest of them. Those who didn’t 
support Bush can go and perform a certain anatomically impossible act. 
They lost, now they can sit in the back of the bus.

Thank God Almighty.
