Americans seem to have dropped into a kind of gloom that is almost unique since I've been blogging about that subject.
As I travel around...and listen to the yada yada I've come to a rather startling conculsion:
EVERYTHING WE BELIEVE TO BE TRUE IS IN FACT FALSE...
AND EVERYTHING WE BELIEVE TO TO FALSE IS IN FACT TRUE!
AND THAT IS A PRETTY GLOOMY SCENARIO...
But there is hope.
My hunch is that once the Democrats sweep the November elections AND take back BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE there will be a sense of relief and revival that FINALLY "the grown-ups" will be replacing the "the greed-mongers."
And that our long nightmare of Republican suffering will be coming to an end...and the looting of the economy will at last stop.
Not that the looting will end in November...we still have to suffer through ever more "Bushisms" for a couple more years...but the DIALOGUE will change to the REAL ISSUES!
AND MERCIFULLY AWAY FROM THE CONSTANT STREAM OF "WEDGE ISSUES" THAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN RELYING ON FOR THESE MANY YEARS.
THE VERY NOTION THAT REAL ISSUES ARE MAKING A COMEBACK IN THE PUBLIC DISCOURSE "SHOULD" ENLIVEN THE DISCUSSION, AND GIVE ORDINARY PEOPLE SOME HOPE THAT THEIR CONCERNS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN WASHINGTON SOON, AND THAT THE NEOCON K-STREET KONGRESS IS ON THE WAY OUT...
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE CURATIVE POWERS OF HOPE...
EVEN IF THE REALITY OF CHANGE IS STILL OFF IN THE DISTANT FUTURE.
