We don't always agree but this is spot on.
Even at the height of Obama's outrages we weren't looking to destroy the country, we weren't out vandalizing property, shooting cops who "represent the system" or even trying to shut down rush hour traffic.
We only wanted our rights and freedoms respected. In the meantime we were trying to accomplish that by working within the system (even when it was futile) and most of our time was spent working trying to pay our own way and provide for our families. That meant we were usually the one's stuck in traffic by idiot protestors who never worked a day in their lives.
We don't want to fight a war of any kind, many of us actually understand what that would look like. We sure as shit don't want that to happen while we are trying to protect our loved ones, nobody wants their kid to have to fight that war.
But after 8 years enough of us said "enough already", and amazingly it worked. But never forget this isn't a left / right war. We didn't elect McCain, we didn't elect Romney. Might be fair to say most people voted to prevent another President Clinton, but we also sure as shit didn't vote for Romney either.
What we need to do is get our house in order or it's going to be a very short 4 years. That means Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and John McCain all need to have a tall glass of STFU and figure out what side they are on. That means don't try and defund planned parenthood (which probably prevents more abortions by providing cheap birth control than would otherwise be performed) while you are trying to dump Obamacare for something better. We all detested that "qualifying" health care plans had to provide women's health care regardless of if the person was even female, well that works both ways and if you try and eliminate things like planned parenthood completely you are going to polarize and unrealized majority and they will inaugurate some nightmare like Pelosi.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
