Nevertheless, I am gleeful in the alleged suffering of such asshats as:

• George Soros, who funneled HUGE amounts of money into the Democratic Party, numerous 527 groups, and Air America, in an attempt to buy an American Presidency.

• Michael Moore, who is going to have four more years trying to come up with some semblance of a reasonable conspiracy theory explaining why a proven majority of America still supports the man he so hates. (Difficulty: no mention of Diebolt)

• Robert Redford, who has “threatened” to flee the country and move to Ireland if Bush won. Hey, Sundance! Need any help packing? You want I should call a cab for ya? Can we persuade you to take Alec Baldwin and Babs Streisand with you? (I’m guessing Ed Asner would be asking a bit much. Besides, Ed might prefer Cuba.)

• Speaking of which, I wonder how many of those dillweeds over at DU are going to “flee” to Canada. I’m reminded of a Bible verse from my childhood. “The wicked flee when no man pursueth” (Proverbs 28:1a) One last word of advice to those asshats: “Bundle up really warm when the ground turns white, and don’t eat the yellow snow.”

• John F. Kerry, who still needs to come to some level of closure with the Vietnam Veterans he spent so many years disparaging. Put another way, Kerry spoke more admiringly of the Communist leadership of North Vietnam than he did of those men who went on every single one of those patrols in ‘Nam. He has yet to apologize for those words, or to tell us what the truth actually was.

• Tom Daschle, whose eligibility to run for office as Senator for South Dakota was being called into question, since Daschle moved his “principal residence” to a posh DC suburb, rather than the State he was being paid to represent (something about a tax write-off, but let’s not worry about that bit* where Senators have to actually reside in the State they represent, okay?). But the citizens preferred someone who wasn’t quite such an annoyance to the man they wanted in the White House. Tommy managed to be the first Majority/Minority Leader to lose a re-election bid.

• Bill Clinton, who might have stood a chance at being the first American to be elected Secretary-General of the United Nations, if Kerry were in the Oval Office. As it is, he will become another Jimmy Carter, a former Democratic President (with a piss-poor record) from a southern State. Worse news, he doesn’t know how to build a house.

• Hillary Clinton, who will have to run for re-election, and win, with a popular President who will be pushing hard for her defeat. If she wins, it will be because New Yorkers are gullible enough to remember that they will have her in office for only about a year (out of the six) before she announces her bid in the run-up to ‘08. (A scary alternative, she wins re-election in New York, waits for a Dem in the White House again, and tries to wrangle for a Supreme Court appointment.)

I may not be laughing out loud, and shouting things like, “IN YOUR FACE, John-John!!” - at least, not now - but I can take a quiet pleasure from knowing that their dreams are thoroughly shattered, requiring a complete redrafting around the current reality of a Bush second term.

Schadenfraude. The word just ... fits.

* - US Const., Art. 1, Sect. 3, Para. 3 - ”No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.”

--Michael Moore

--Protests against the War on Terror, and the War in Iraq

--UN Oil for Food bribery and corruption, and the related refusals of France, Germany, China, and Russia to help oust Saddam.

--MoveOn.org, Win Without War, the WWP, and the other socialist, anti-American groups that sponsored the huge protests. 

--Congressmen/women/Senators who saw the same intelligence info the President did, supported him, then tried to ruin him. 

--Richard Clarke, and every other post-Clintonian political hack that had a bone to pick for being released/fired/not worshipped.

--Tax-and-Spenders bitching about the deficit and economy. 

--George Soros

--The two dozen or so Hollywood stars that said that they hated Bush, that he lied, and that he was a Nazi.

--Ted Rall, and his excrement-on-paper

--Andrew Sullivan’s turn against the President and his will to protect the rights of the States to decide on Gay Marriage

--Kos, Atrios, and whatever names/faces on the Blogsphere’s Left that spread hate, lies, and contempt for an honest, determined President. 

--ANYONE who Photo-shopped Bush’s face into a picture of 1942 Germany, or into someone’s ass, or onto someones pecker, or who wished for his death, demise, or injury. 

We go forth from here with a slate that must be clean....that is clear, at least to me.  However, forgetting all the sewage and hatred that passed from the above-listed people and organizations is not sensical.  Remember what they did, and recognize that they were given a pass by the MSM.  That will entice them into doing the same things again. 

Don’t forget.  Forgive?  That’s a nice thing to do, but forgetting would be stupid.
