The races are over, and it looks like Democrats won all over the place, including quite a few governorships. That’s great, but let’s not get lazy over it. There is a lot of foulness to undo, and that’s going to take a lot of work.
Democrats, don’t break your arms patting yourselves on the back. And Republicans: think about what your party has done to deserve such remorseless spite.
I propose we start right away, to:
- Get out men and women the hell out of Iraq (after quickly tidying up as best we can)
- Try to repair damaged relations across the globe
- Ban religion from government
- Ban religion from public schools (get ID, aka Creationism, out of the classroom!)
- Funding science, esp. stem-cell research
- Amending the Constitution to clarify and equalize gay rights by law forever
- Take down that damn wall across the southern border
- Make the United States a place of Free Thought
- Ban spying programs focusing on U.S. citizens
- Encourage skeptical inquiry
- Start welcoming immigrants again
Personally, I’m very relieved to know that the many long years of iron-fisted Republican rule (Governor, Senate, and House) are over for people in my neck of the woods!
