Post Election Selection Trauma...PEST. Gotta love it. Truth is so much funnier than fiction.

About time!

I didn't get my way! WAAA!

Man, now I'm kinda bumbed. Here, I predicted either mass depression or riots and I got only mass depression. What happened to the riots? What happened to the moonbats cries for a second civil war? They've deprived me of my nightly entertainment of seein' them get their heads caved in by our boys in blue.

"I had one friend tell me he’s never been so depressed and angry in his life,” Schooler said.

Lighten up there, big fella. Sheesh.

"We're calling it Post-Election Selection Trauma"

How fitting! LOL

or staring listlessly into space.

Moonbats always look this way. What's new here? ;)

This is from The Onion, right?

you gotta be kidding me...

Gloat.

~que deep commentator type voice~

"Do you feel blue? Depressed? Feel like the world is coming to an end? Did you vote for John Kerry? Then you to could be suffering from PEST.

There is help. There is hope. You are not alone.

Yes, there is Canada.

~end deep commentator type voice~

What a load.

Those people just need a good slap upside the head and a "grow the fuck up, loser!"

If they'd only gotten therapy sooner, they wouldn't have been Kerry supporters in the first place.

What on earth? Get over it, people!

Given the tone of some of the recent moon-batty postings here, I'm beginning to think therapy for these guys is an excellent idea!

only in this great country...people depressed about exercising their freedoms.

ROFLMAO@the absurdity

In the runup to the election someone posted a link to Air America's flagship station WLIB in NYC. Since then, I have been listening to this station occasionally and find it very educational as to what goes on in the bizarro world of moonbattus elcubus these days.

While Al Franken is often an informed and rational proponent of liberal values there are others there, notably Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy, who are not only "eat up" with BDS, but are completly unhinged about the world in general. These people live in an alternate reality.

This morning there was a caller who could barely control her sobs enough to voice her rant against the evil George Bush.

At any rate, if you want to hear what is destroying the Democrat party as a functioning unit in American political life you might find it educational to give a listen.

For any libs who are reading this, I really do not want to see the US become a one party nation, but that is what is going to happen if you continue to give these idiots free rein.

WLIB

You can't write comedy this good.

*sniff* There goes Christmas...

Lighten up, Francis.

I've got Dem friends who haven't spoken to me for a week. I'm guessing this isn't happening just in Florida.

I have a cure for any moonbat seeking help in "fly over country", a hard slap across the face, a large & loud drill sergeant looking fellow screaming "get over it, Moonbat" followed by a large steel toed boot to the ass. My fee? Hell, I'll do it for nothing, call it a guilty pleasure.

I would suppose it's only appropriate that they seek treatment. Wish they had done so earlier. It has been obvious for a long time they needed it.

#7 , Dammit, glwing, you stole my bit.

Okay, I'll try it from another angle.

“I observed patients threatening to leave the country or staring listlessly into space. They were emotionally paralyzed, shocked and devastated,” he told the daily.

threatening... as though America is really sweating the loss of a bunch of emotionally self-absorbed trust-fund kids.

God I feel good!

“We’re calling it ‘post-election selection trauma’ and we’re working to develop a counseling program for it(.)”

I didn't so much see the candor in the acronym, as I saw the phrase's third word ... "selection". Witness the retelling of the "selected, not elected" narrative of the last four years.

These self-aggrandizing twits (a/k/a "democrats") don't believe in democracy. It's "the will of the people", not the will of their (self-presumed) betters that determines an election's outcome.

Rather than PEST-therapy, I'd suggest Remedial Civics 101. It can be found in eighth grade classrooms across the country, asshats!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That and Streisand's 'witches' quote from Jefferson, shows just how deranged they have become.

Lost focus, just like a sports team, that is clueless about their opponent.

Then hammered by the opposition.

And left stewing in their own juices.

PEST...Brilliant!
This kind of thing is rampant. I saw an ad for a wife-swapping show on TV where a country girl has to live with a California "man". The scene was him crying at a table needing a hug. She just stared at him.

What a country. We are so pampered and soft that we can afford to have PEST and men who cry on TV. I can't even come up with a good joke about this. Have a crack at it if you'd like.

I'd say childish, but in doing so I would offend the dignity of children.
Same for retarded.

Slightly OT: In addition to this, look out for the new meme coming out of Florida in the next few days, of the "irregularities" associated with electronic voting. Keith Olbermann of PMSNBC has decided to jump into this with both feet (and make a mockery of his "credibility" in the process).

[Link: www.msnbc.msn.com...]

Great call. Hope to see it in James Taranto's blog.

So does this mean that yet ANOTHER wasteful social program is going to be set up? :)

/sarcasm off

What incredibly un-resilient people. Their ancestors lived through the Dustbowl, WWI and WWII, and the Great Depression, and they're all torn up about not getting their way.

Darwin works in mysterious ways.

If it wern't so sad it would be funny.

BTW has anyone made note of the polls t out there asking people to vote on wether or not the Electoral College should be eliminated?

What's scary is that these 'Proffessional Doctors" actually give this PEST thing legitimacy and credability! Can you imagine? Wonder what the therapy to recover will sound like?

A real doctor would tell them they are suffering from a severe disorder known as refusing to grow-up and deal with life!

Bridges, bridges for sale here! Bridges for sale to aid you in getting over it.

/this product quantified for the land of denial.

A lot of sad, weary faces at our (reform) synagogue on Friday night. My wife and I felt safe in aproaching a Russian couple we barely know and whispering how happy we were at Bush's victory. To our delight they smiled and we conspired like naughty children for a few moments.

As for everyone else, maybe a group discount on therapy would be in order.

#7 , Dammit, glwing, you stole my bit.

I am sooo ashamed. *grin*

Are their lives so meaningless that this election's results sent them into a state of utter despare? Have they no hope for the future? Or are they just trying to score some drugs?

You decide!

Kerry brought the late 1960s back to us with all its ills and whackiness. Now his supporters are going through psychic whiplash as they realize that it's really the 21st Century where grownups go out and vote to put grownups in office.

"Waaa!! Where's my dope, man??"

"I'll text message to see when our score is showing up."

"WHAT'S A TEXT MESSAGE?? DID YOU SELL OUT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT, YOU PIG? WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE USING ELECTRICITY!"

ALL: "Kumbaya m'lord. Kumbaya..."

"WHERE'S MY DOPE, MAN??"

We need to ship in tens of thousands of shrinks to replace the tens of thousands of lawyers who were supposed to fight to the death starting on November 3rd.

It's about time they medicate these people. However, I don't know how much help they'll get with most shrinks. A few visits with Dr. Krauthammer might straighten them up.

OT but hysterical...'bout Arafish

Heard that Doug McIntyre this morning on radio here in SoCal. say basically, 'how long 'till you see that Nobel Prize on E-bay?

I was howling...

What the heck is wrong with these people?? If Bush would have lost, I would have been upset, but for God's sake I wouldnt have needed a shrink to help me out!!!

A prescription of Gidoverit with Wizeuptrin carefully administered with shock therapy will probably return those happy smiles.

Geez, it reminds me of some of those cults that gather and wait for the spaceship to appear. When it doesn't, they can't cope.

LOL @ P.E.S.T. SisterLeo!

I think that these psychologists would do well to study cult deprogramming techniques.

What truly is needed is shock therapy, preferably in a chair...:).

I wonder if some gin and white raisins might fix things for them.

"Credibility", indeed! This is a guy who publically appealed to his viewers to vote him in as Playgriel's "Sexiest Broadcaster".

Orthodox synagogues have been happy places this past week!

I saw some people at my shul on the night after the election and the phrase we kept saying was "We dodged a bullet on this one." Thank G-d Kerry didn't make it!

HAPPY FACES EVERYWHERE!

Only one cure for stupidity...

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out "childhood trauma." It's not like they ever grew up.

Just goes to show that our form of government is seen as an obstacle to liberals unless the chips fall their way. Anything other than their having absolute power over every facet of our lives is an abomination. If though it really is this painful for them, might just scare them out of investing so much in future elections.

Speaking as a liberal Democrat myself, I just want to say that any of liberals who want to leave the country and go to Canada should get the hell out right now. We're the United States of America, damnit, and we don't need a bunch of pussies like that, who would actually leave the greatest nation on earth over an election, to waste our air.

I wonder what kind of cheese they'll be serving with their whine...

This is such a load.

I contemplated my own reaction should GW lose (thank goodness that didn't happen) and life would have gone on, I would have held my head high and been just the same.

Too bad, but this is what happens when people have no core, no faith, no...nothing.

#45 Gretchen:

"It's about time they medicate these people. However, I don't know how much help they'll get with most shrinks. A few visits with Dr. Krauthammer might straighten them up. "

Actually, a visit to my Dad (a PsyD, a/k/a "shrink") would help them just as well as Dr. Krauthammer. My Dad's so cool!

My favorite variation on the "we didn't get out way" theme is the new LLL slogan: We're depressed over the fact that this country's goin' to hell in a handbasket. The Left has decided that Bush is drivin' the country into the ground and Kerry was their last hope of saving America.

Then again, their depression might be due to the fact that they've lost the support of the friends over in Europe, who now view all Americans as ignorant savages for reelecting Bush to a second term.

We're calling it "post-election selection trauma"

Other people call it losing an election. Most get over their disappointment and get on with their lives without the need for therapy, pills or support groups. But the election probably was a "childhood trauma" for liberals who are as immature, emotional and self-involved as any five-year old.

#58 rightasrain 

Frank Luntz says 65% of conservative Jews voted for Bush! I'm jealous!

All I can say is: wotta bunch of Po-Mo, Multi-Culti, namby-pamby maroons. Jeez. If W. had lost the election, I'd have been bummed, but I'd have gotten on. I'd have kept on going to work, having fun, and living my life.

If this just isn't the whole problem with the Left boiled down to its essence: it's all about them.

I cannot express how glad I am that W. won. Maybe these crybabies will use the next four years to grow up a little.

#55 IowaGirl,

Now that's just an evil, greedy, Capitalist conservative would do.

Here's your therapy...a nice swift kick in the ass you freaking sniveling bastiges.

Talk about sore losers. They are such babies, scary to think that they can vote.

Hysteria is how they react to stress - losing an election, sudden downturn in the economy, terrorism. Another good reason not to vote for them.

And on the other hand, a psychotherapist friend of mine told me all of her patients have nothing to talk about anymore and they feel much better -

OH wait--- Maybe the moonies should pray about it and ask God to comfort them in their time of great sorrow.

All All the lies about Bush, all the covering up about Kerry, Hollywood's wielding their power to help elect a completely incompetent candidate that should be in jail serving a life sentence for treason and not serving in the senate, I must confess depressed me a bit over the last couple of years.

They'll get over it. Not too soon I hope. Let em suffer awhile longer, like four years.

Hey, maybe liberal Hollywood will be too depressed to work.

Shadenfreuder? Naaahh!

the-Moor and the MSM did more to create fear and hatred than anyone or anything else around here.

You get what you subscribe to.

Many of us felt a letdown when Clinton was elected and re-elected, but we went on, despite HIS Cabinet and all the scandals.

But we all gnashed our teeth quietly, plotting for this day!!!

These people need to look in the mirror and consider their OWN values before considering others'.

Furious J (#24),

Whatda ya mean?

Sure I agree with Bush's foreign policy and think Kerry is a sanctimonious lying POS that would throughly fuck up the government, but when I heard Robert Redford say he would move to Ireland if the President was reelected, well let's just say I couldn't chance it. I mean can you imagine, if Robert Redford moved to Ireland? I don't know what I'd do.

This just goes right along with that suicidal guy who drove to ground zero to commit his act and ensure us one less moonbat vote in '08.

Hey, I figure it's a zero-sum game. I'm surprised there aren't more people jumping off bridges, because the moonbats, if they're feeling as bad as I am good, well, we've just seen the beginning of the hysteria.

Jump.

Jump.

No really, jump!

Looks like the Cowardly Dutch are at it again. They don't want to offend the muslims.

#18 abu_garcia

I'm a liberal reading this, and unfortunately I have to say I agree with you 100%. I think there are two things many of my fellow liberals do not understand:

1) in order to make the world safe for "liberal" ideas such as civil rights, religious freedom, etc, it may be necessary to use force against those who wish to plunge the world into a 7th-century theocratic nightmare

and

2) when people like Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Puff Daddy, etc are seen as the spokesmen of your party, you are really screwed

Cult deprogramming should be job #1, given the converging Dem/LLL/islamofascist psychological profile.

Oh for pete's sake, do I have to start close captioning for the humor impaired?

{{{close captioning for the humor impaired: that was a parody}}}

Well, I think I understand why the moonbats are flipping out so badly. They've spent the last four years (especially this last year) celebrating Bush's loss ahead of time.

They seriously believed that if they just kept telling themselves it would happen (and beating us over the head with this gloating night and day, week after week, month after month) -- it would HAVE to come true.

In contrast, conservatives worked and hoped for the best (and I personally worried about the election quite a bit, especially in the last months.) I worried what it would be like to see millions of our enemies cheering on Nov 3rd and claiming that terrorism had overturned a U.S. President.

Then, I gathered my courage and went out to vote on Nov 2nd (knowing that this could be a big disappointment but also knowing that the clear thinkers would carry on as best we could in any case.)

Although it's sweet to know that their endless gloating about Bush losing was in vain, but I think they've damaged themselves pretty badly in all this.

I'm sure they think that the rest of us should show pity on them and give them what they want now.

Give them shrinks and drugs and make them shut up now. That's what I want, anyway.

“We’re calling it ‘post-election selection trauma’ ...
...
That's it -
Let's start a "government program" to pay for all this "post-election selection trauma" that the frustrated, whinning democrats are suffering. At least they could get some of that good 'ole government money to repay them for their "loss'.
BIG DEAL...
Seems like every few months, the dimocrats come up with a new "entitlement". After all, it's FREE - it is government money - it just grows on trees in the government's money tree farm. (Or does taxing the working people come in there somewhere?)
My advise:
Get a J-O-B and GET OVER IT !!!
Fray

PS - Here's another little development on the way.
...

SAVING Our Social Security System!!!

PS - I recently discovered the "SAVIOR" of our Social Security System.

It is NOT Bush or Kerry!!!

It will be saved by the millions of people that die of heart problems (and other "ailments" due to overweight) before they reach the "retirement age". This will have been caused by an "over abundance" of FREE FOOD - paid for by high taxes on the working people - through the governments "redistribution of wealth" (TAXES) - to a few that really needed it - and to millions who wouldn't work if even if they had a job.

AND - to the widespread decline in morals - creating millions of out of wedlock babies (for those same taxpayers to SUPPORT) and millions of babies killed (that's ABORTIONS!!!).

Maybe "Gay Marriages" would be good - at least no babies to KILL!!!.

#45 Gretchen

READING Dr. Krauthammer's column in addition to the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Taranto's BOTWT, listening to KRLA online 6:00AM to 6:00PM for six months would straighten most of them out.

And here I thought the swampy, gooey tears, crimson faces, and sudden wailings were just moonbats suffering over Arafish. I didn't know we had a bona-fide medical condition here! To the Batcave, then, all of us! - with professional help for these Moonbats! In lament to all PEST suffering moonbats then:

The PEST Lament

Election night was over and my nose began to bleed,
I wondered at the cruelty coming through my Atom feed;
It spoke of failing far and wide in states I thought the wiser,
And now the tearing at my eyes is likened to a geyser.

They say that my condition worsens quickly with the rate
Of Bleeding Heart Conservatives who all articulate
A better cause for Bush than Kerry (blessed be his name),
And furthermore a cause that even Michael couldn't shame!

And so I sit most wretchedly in wonder at my cause
Now wrapped like bleeding somethings in a temporary gauze
I hope for more than tylenol to cure me of my ills
And more than 'lectric blanks to smother these cold chills.

Courage.

Nurse! Proscribe 19 million 450mg lithium b.i.d. and 40 million thorazine 75mg q.i.d. for the rest.

Stop the regime mid-October 2008 so they can vote over again. Resume shortly thereafter. They'll never know the difference.

What complete idiots.

As moonbat Don Henley would say, "Get Over It!"

It doesn't get much better than this.

I live in the Commonwealth of Virginia, but work in the People's Republic of Maryland, and it is pure, unadulterated joy to go to my office now and watch the doe-eyed shell-shocked visage of my moonbat co-workers.

*can't stop snickering*

Dang it.

We should have anticipated it and all bought stock in pharmecuticals!

How about starting a "liberal left cult deprogramming" group?

I suspect a large number of these people would have become depressed even if Kerry had won. Because he "promised" everyone everything and they believed in the fantasy and would have been profoundly disappointed in the reality.

#99 Victor

Some of us haven't been around much lately so we weren't sure.

What really amuses me is these pricks think that they're deserving of pity because they saw their little socialist wet dreams smashed. They hoped for Gore: Part Deux and instead got a guy with enough class not to push for litigation. They hoped that Edwards little rant on Nov 3rd would be the voice of reason, instead of Kerry's call for healing between the parties. And they're already claiming the election was stolen, pulling numbers out of their ass to show that Kerry "could" have won the election.

What most of these little sh*theads needs is someone like R. Lee Ermey thwacking them upside the head and yelling in their face that the masses have spoken, Bush won, and no amount of bitchin' and cryin' is gonna change that fact.

First conservatives were rich eeevil white men, trying to keep the good people down. Now we are the uneducated rednecks that shop at WalMart and are so irrelevant we are merely "fly-over country".

At least we don't need a shrink when we don't get our way!

One has GOT to wonder if all we had at the beginning of
the fight for freedom in this country, was the PEST folks, where we would be. No doubt, still 'slaves' to the Limey's and well on our way to becoming members of the Islamic radical movement. I suspect that if the libs had won and put Kerry in, we would have a new government payout to this new psychiatric drivil, PEST, the taxpayer would absorb. Good Grief! What little, pasty, butt-wipes. Hand me a Kleenex. I have to wipe the tears of laughter.

Now all we need is that shrieker, Howard Dean as new DNC Chairman, then we have the next 2 terms as well in the bag!

The five stages of a LLL moonbat after suffering a defeat:

1) Litigation
2) Denial / Rationalization
3) Coping / Therapy
4) Conspiracy theories / making a "documentary"
5) Repeating the same mistakes all over again

Note how "acceptance" doesn't ever seem to feature.

I also left off "emigration" - because they threaten, but they never follow through. Can't bring themselves to give up high salaries, low taxes and the complete freedom to say whatever you want without fear of censure, I guess. Boy, America sucks that way, doesn't it?

#29 The Keeper

That quotation was first used by Elizabeth Edwards on DU a few days ago. They are all certifiable!!

I hope that PEST spreads like the tummy flu though a preschool classroom.

They will be too depressed to roll out of bed and do this:

NY Lawyer/former teacher wants revolution

On another note, I am a little depressed myself. I thought I was a better judge of people and that my friendships were solid. My best friend of 18 years, who voted for Kerry, has, since the election, only communicated with me via terse emails asking me to explain myself.

I can *honestly* say that had Kerry won, I would not end a friendship over it.

#99 Victor

Post something nice and I'll believe you. Maybe just tell me who you voted for.

I did not think that was funny. You left off the /sarcasm tag.

Apparently, the virus has spread to the halls of academia;

I felt like the Israelites did when Moses was about to lead them out of Egypt. Deliverance was at hand! Kerry was going to win the election. I was so sure he would...

I wasn't alone in my disappointment. Friends and family members expressed their anger, sadness and dissatisfaction with the results. They also expressed hopelessness on what the next four years would be like under Bush. They weren't alone. CNN's feature, Campus Vibe, reported that college students who voted for Kerry expressed similar sentiments. Apparently, post-election depression or disappointment is common among people who support a candidate who loses because many people feel personally invested in the outcome. If you are one of those depressed people, mental health experts suggest being patient with yourself, taking a break from the media, channeling the passion you put into the election into something productive and talking to others. They also advise seeking professional help if the depression lingers for more than two weeks. .

You are too good at parody. The

For those who didn't read this at Drudge yet:

Democratic Party must be 'born again,' Carville says

[Carville] He said the party is desperately in need of a compelling narrative to tell voters, rather than the "litany of issues" the party stands for now. He said Mr. Bush and Republicans presented just such a story: "These guys had a narrative — we're going to protect you from the terrorists in Tikrit and from the homos in Hollywood. That's it," he said. "I think we could elect somebody from Beverly Hills if they had some compelling narrative to tell people about what the country is."

The trend will continue it seems, if dem party leadership continues taking advice from folks such as Carville.

The "litany of issues" presented by Kerry were rejected, if anyone ever found out where he stood on them, so I think James is still in denial. Yes, thats it, tell a narrative story, not present your issues, goals and plans to the public.

They have learned nothing.

But her hatred overshadowed the Pro-Life, partial birth abortion stance, the war on terror etc.

THAT was more important than the country's safety and success!

Why the moonbats are wrong...

Oh its a child hood problem, doc send them to bed without their supper and make sure they help with the dishs when the rest finish theirs.

The left can't handle a lost election, and they want us to think they can handle terrorism? OY!

It's just so depressing when we have a President spreading freedom! Allowing women to vote in Afghanistan! Ridding eeevil dictators who relish mass graves! I am so depressed! Where's my meds.

But these people are HAWKS? THey can fight the war better? smarter?

We need to start a Dear Libby column to help them through this!

Gives an entirely new meaning to "Blueville" doesn't it?

Rush is covering this story. He usually saves this for the lighthearted stack in the last half hour, but it's just too good to wait.

Someone mentioned losing a friend (a Kerryite) over this election, and I'm in the same boat. I lost a high school friendship from someone who had been going to Bush Bash parties and living it up all year (in ecstasy over Bush's upcoming demise as leader.)

Now I'm getting utterly depressed emails about how the religious Christians turned this election because Bush convinced them to be scared. She's a non-religious Christian.

It's sad. They permanently celebrated the victory ahead of time and I don't really think there's a cure for this except massive drugs or something.

My moonbat sister e-mailed me yesterday to say that she and her (common-law) husband can't do Thanksgiving this year. She says there is nothing to be thankful for.

...And yes, she could use therapy.

#90 Anant:

in order to make the world safe for "liberal" ideas such as civil rights, religious freedom, etc,

I think you hit on one of the traps the libs have fallen into. The notion that only they want civil rights, religious freedom, a clean enironment, good health care, good education, etc. So instead of seeing different ways to achieve these ends, they stand on the street corner screaming about the "concentration camps for gays, slave status for minorities, forced conversion of heathens, loss of voting rights for women, utter destruction of the environment, cancelation of Social Security" and so on. It insults peoples' intelligence and their character, and scares away anyone with a halfway open mind.

Then, if you're feeling cruel, you just ask them what they mean. "Social justice, eh? I'm for society and justice, so that sounds good to me. What policies do you specifically propose? OK, you can get back to me on that. 'Civil rights.' That sounds good too. What civil rights do you back that your opponents don't? No answer? That's odd. OK, what about this 'affirmative action' you support? What specific policies will come with that? Nothing? Hey waitaminnit! I more than met you halfway, tried to engage you in conversation and learn more about your positions. All you've given me are empty buzzwords and spin!"

Sorry man, your camp has been taken over by a cult. Other than that it's just a cumbersome coalition of special interests groups, who'd often be at each other's throats if not for the larger game. There's really no core philosophy or policies or programs with which to reach the masses. It's just opposing the other party no matter what, and slurring the Great Satan (your neighbor) who somehow for some reason wants to destroy the world and cause maximal suffering to himself and everyone else on the way. And you just thought he was the nice guy who was easy to chat with and helped you with your car whenever you needed it. Until discovering he was (scary music) GOP.

What's amazing is, this is the party that cries for tolerance!

Get Over It

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers at everbody else
spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if they gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers - kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work; you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Orthodox synagogues have been happy places this past week!

HAPPY FACES EVERYWHERE!

Same here. Not that I'm that religious, but I feel much more comfortable politically in my traditional shul. I also feel FOR ME it's more "authentic" than some of these nouveau American concoctions.

I went to hear Elie Weisel speak at a conservative synagogue 2 days before the election and got admonished for my Bush/Cheney pin by some aging Loony dhimmicrat, who warned me that I would lose my right to an abortion if Bush won.

Imagine telling that to a young woman, in a synagogue, when Elie Wiesel - a teenage survivor of Auschwitz - was about to speak. After 2/3 of Europe's Jews were butchered, they still think it's more important to tell a young Jewish woman how to kill her baby, instead of trying to encourage young Jewish women to have babies.

Sorry, Al, didn't mean to jerk anyone's chain; I'm a nice, balding Republican, like you ;-) The point of my little parody in #82 is to get inside the LLL mind and see where its logic takes you. I posted a similar parody on the NYTimes assassination thread. The left has come to believe some utterly fantastic and poisonous ideas, and the way those ideas play themselves out isn't healthy. Ridiculing them and pointing out their absurdities is a way of combatting and dealing with them. Satire and parody are particular vices of mine; forgive me, please, and do beware my humor.

Robert Cialdini writes about it in recently republished book "Persuasion". In these situations, these people look for any thread of possibility that will allow them to continue in their false beliefs.

LA Times - Guantanamo Trial Is Ruled Unlawful

(link requires registration - I think)

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON — The first military commission trial at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was halted Monday after a federal judge here ruled the proceedings invalid under U.S. and international law — dealing a blow to the legal process set up by the Bush administration to handle accused terrorists.

The case against Salim Ahmed Hamdan was suspended after U.S. District Judge James Robertson ruled that the Yemeni man had been denied due process.

The ruling affects all of the nearly 500 detainees from Afghanistan at Guantanamo.

They are using Thomas Jefferson because he, of course, founded the Democrat party.

He also had a fondness for the French and of course, as we know, owned slaves.

He had NO tolerance for "Jihad" and didn't appease and negotiate with the threat that occurred a few years after he said that.

Looks more to me like an attempt to imply current Democrats as "statesemen" such as Jefferson was forgetting that we are living in 2004.

And forgetting other aspects of Jefferson --such as his zero tolerance for Islamic Jihad.

It'll be a while before PEST makes it to the DSM-4, with an actual code assigned. The PTSD metaphor isn't really a very good one, since PTSD often presents with (among other things) hyperalertness, increased startle reflex, and desire to avoid the subject, and somatic signals indicating severe stress. This PEST thing is a piece of fluff excuse for wallowing in self-pity.

It appears my humor detector batteries have run more afoul than Arafat's breath.

All I can say is that I'm glad my wife and I are spending Thanksgiving with her family. My parents, as well as my sister are way too Left. Last time I was at my parents' house (just before the election) things got pretty ugly. But at least I turned my sister-in-law away from the dark side. She voted for Bush, but won't tell my parents that she did. I guess she doesn't want to hear how evil she is.

Now, my in-laws were for Kerry too, but respect me enough not to turn the whole day into a polical shouting match.

OT --It would seem that the Democrats have forgotten how much the founder of their own party emphasized morals as inseparable from a free, civilized society.

"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." --Thomas Jefferson* [Link: etext.lib.virginia.edu...]

"God... has formed us moral agents... that we may promote the happiness of those with whom He has placed us in society, by acting honestly towards all, benevolently to those who fall within our way, respecting sacredly their rights, bodily and mental, and cherishing especially their freedom of conscience, as we value our own." --Thomas Jefferson to Miles King, 1814. ME 14:197

"Peace, prosperity, liberty and morals have an intimate connection." --Thomas Jefferson to George Logan, 1813. ME 13:384

"The order of nature [is] that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue." --Thomas Jefferson to M. Correa de Serra, 1814. ME 19:210

"Without virtue, happiness cannot be." --Thomas Jefferson to Amos J. Cook, 1816. ME 14:405

"Liberty... is the great parent of science and of virtue; and... a nation will be great in both always in proportion as it is free." --Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Willard, 1789. ME 7:329

"...State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules." --Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1787. ME 6:257, Papers 12:15

"How necessary was the care of the Creator in making the moral principle so much a part of our constitution as that no errors of reasoning or of speculation might lead us astray from its observance in practice." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Law, 1814. ME 14:139

"Morals were too essential to the happiness of man, to be risked on the uncertain combinations of the head. [Nature] laid their foundation, therefore, in sentiment, not in science." --Thomas Jefferson to Maria Cosway, 1786. ME 5:443

Awww, give 'em all a hug and a cookie!

Reminds me of some lines from the Retrosexual Code:

A Retrosexual DEALS with IT, be it a flat tire, break-in into your home, or a natural disaster, you DEAL WITH IT.

A Retrosexual is allowed to seek professional help for major mental stress such as drug/alcohol addiction, death of your entire family in a freak treechipper accident, favorite sports team being moved to a different city, favorite bird dog expiring, etc. You are NOT allowed to see a shrink because Daddy didn't pay you enough attention. Daddy was busy DEALING WITH IT. When you screwed up, he DEALT with you.

Crying. There are very few reason that a Retrosexual may cry, and none of them have to do with TV commercials, movies, or soap operas (OR elections--my addition). Sports teams are sometimes a reason to cry, but the preferred method of release is swearing or throwing the remote control. Some reasons a Retrosexual can cry include (but are not limited to) death of a loved one, death of a pet (fish do NOT count as pets in this case), loss of a major body part, or loss of major body part on your Ford truck.

This is what passes for introspection in the Democratic Party. They seek to learn the language of middle American values rather than learning middle American values. They seek a fairy tale to make the 'red state' types think that they understand rather than actually understanding.

They are advised to attend Bible school so they can learn how to talk to middle America rather than learning that 'Thou shalt not kill' actually means something to many Americans.

They look for ways to spin a yarn that will get 'red state' voters to go their way all the while berating them that they are too stupid to be entrusted with governance.

Eric Engberg is a retired MSM journalist who tries to make the case for "Blogging As Typing, Not Journalism".

[Link: www.cbsnews.com...]

My first impressions... Drudge is NOT a blog!

Significantly... LGF is NOT in the list he quotes of blogs that got the exit polls wrong.

"When you the humble reporter are writing a story based on the polls you need one of these gurus standing over your shoulder interpreting what they mean or you almost certainly will screw it up. There is a word for this kind of teamwork and expertise. It’s called "journalism." "

Hmmm, you mean like the teamwork Rather exhibited by "collaborating" with hand-picked "experts" who would glibly parrot his agenda, meanwhile dismissing "team members" who refused to toe the party line,or do you mean the type of teamwork exhibited the the bona fide experts who came together on their own to debunk the bogus story, notably on LGS and Powerline?

"Let me tell you a few things about "exit polls" as one who was there from the time they were invented and then watched them develop through the nine presidential campaigns I covered. Experienced journalists treat exit polls like hand grenades with the pin pulled; they are unstable and dangerous."

Maybe if the networks didn't present exit poll data so uncritically bloggers and the public might not take them as seriously as they do. In their campaign to be perceived as the politically anointed, the MSM has elevated the exit poll to a significance much higher than this ex-reporter claims they are regarded internally.

"The public is now assaulted by news and pretend-news from many directions, thanks to the now infamous "information superhighway." But the ability to transmit words, we learned during the Citizens Band radio fad of the 70’s, does not mean that any knowledge is being passed along. One of the verdicts rendered by election night 2004 is that, given their lack of expertise, standards and, yes, humility, the chances of the bloggers replacing mainstream journalism are about as good as the parasite replacing the dog it fastens on."

Neither does an FCC licence or a dead-tree masthead ensure veracity. Standards? Humility? You mean like the principled and humble Dan?

"the weak shall inherit the earth, and W shall lead"

Want to give those unstable moonbats another little push? Tell the that since Bush was "selected, not elected" in 2000, he's eligible to run again in 2008.

That's funny, because the way I described 'moonbat' to a guy I work with was this way:

I said, "You have to imagine that you can hit the moon with a bat. Got it? Illogical, right? Well, that's how liberals think, therefore they're moonbats."

He said, "makes perfect sense to me."

Poor Yentyl - she's really unhappy. Did you notice that her blog doesn't offer anyone a chance to comment and, yet, when you exit her site you get an annoying pop-up asking if you'd like to buy one of her CD's.

That's no way to talk to YO MAMA!

I knew it was only a matter of time. Did I not say on this very site that Bush would need to provide funding for mental hospitals in the wake of his possible re-election?

I'm am psychic. Heh.

Tsk,tsk. Another footstomping, tantrum thrower.
Ya gotta love 'em. What else would we do for kicks?

Gloom
Despair
and agony on me.
Deep dark depression,
excessive misery.
If it wern't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all.
Gloom
Despair
and agony on me.

The saddest thing isn't that they are seeking help (That's f'in HILARIOUS!), but WHO they are seeking help FROM. Psychology and psychiatry are in roughly the same league as voodoo vis-a-vis sophistication and viability. DAMHIK.

M'Bat: "Im so devastated over Kerry's loss. I can't believe he suckered all those Jesusland freaks into voting for him."

Psyco-Voodoo-Spaz-Tard: "You have every right to feel that way." *eye roll*

Tell me that isn't right on the money? (I know for a fact that it is.)

What these idiots need to do is stand in front of a mirror and repeat "I'm looking at the problem, I'm looking at the problem, I'm looking at the problem" over and over until it gets through their granite crainiums and deep into the tangled mass of mis-firing neurons they wrongly call a brain.

What an abjectly pathetic group of brainstems these "liberals" are. A generation spoiled by absense of hardship, parents who wouldn't slap their bottoms, and a nanny-state.

We don't have a right to happiness, only the PURSUIT of happiness.

I can't BELIEVE I used to be one of those weak and vacuous pussies. /rant

I'll STFU now.

What else would we do for kicks?

Some of the best openings I've ever found!

note to self;
seriously contemplate career in stand up comedy-much material from LGF site thanks to moonbats gone wild.

Democrats Anonymous

1. We admitted we were powerless over Republicians — that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Republician greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Republicians as we understood them.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to Republicians, to ourselves, and to another sub-human being (Democrat) the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have the Republicans remove all these defects of our party.

7. Humbly asked them to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all Vets we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such Vets wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take drugs to monitor our illness.

11. Sought through commen sense to improve our conscious contact with Republicians as we understood them.

12. Having had a rude awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to all Democrats, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Heh-heh. Oldie but goodie.

#233 Sefton

wasn't that muddy waters born under a bad sign? Mckinely Morgenfield ROCKS

I thought this was a farce a la Onion but shock of shocks it is true.

What really angers me is listening about these drama queens when 18-19-20 year old brave Americans are laying their lifes on the line so that we can live here safely.

These people have other issues that are being projected unto the election loss they suffered. They are a sorry bunch. I would hate to see how they deal with real life. Such as being 30 years old and being confronted with the possible diagnosis of a deadly form of cancer. They would just slit their wrists instead of hoping for the best and fighting. They are CRYBABIES who have been cuddled and pampered for way too long.

When Clinton won twice I didn't head for the shrink. I just accepted and moved on. My life didn't come to a stand still and I certainly didn't need a group hug to get through it. I went on with life and prospered.
The party in power whether Democrat or Republican couldn't impede me from achieving or living.

These psychological fragile flowers need to grow up and stop acting like my 1 year old baby nephew. Acceptable for him, he's still in diapers but these are adults!!! UGH!!!

So my message to you cry babies is grab a box of kleenex, wipe your tears and snotty noses. It's not the end of the world. Maybe, just maybe if you and your party decide to act like grown ups you JUST MAY win an election.

CAVEAT: I am not holding my breathe for these hippie freaks who feel the need to constantly show their sensitive side for the dumbest reasons (ie election loss)to effect any political change.

#238 Z

Nope.
Think Junior Samples.
Then call BR549.

I think we should all come to our senses and be sensitive to these poor distraught folks. In a show of support we should demand a re-do of the election with only John Kerry running. The most important issue our nation is facing is sad, long faces and salty tears and it really wasn't very nice of 51% of voters to ignore this.

Is there a pesticide-free treatment for PEST?

#242 Asylum

Yes, it's called honesty and truth.
But even though it's organic, they will never try it.

Going back to Barbra Streisand's quote from Thomas Jefferson on her website today, here's a free netcast from Shai ben-Tekoa on what really happened back then (when Thomas Jefferson the Hawk went gunning for the Jihadists about three years later):

Jefferson & The Barbarians by Shai ben-Tekoa

This is an ASF streaming audio netcast (free) and well worth the listen! It's about 40 minutes or so.

Shai ben-Tekoa has written a book on this subject and I hope it's published soon.

Right As Rain

If you'd like to see a PDF transcript of Shai ben-Tekoa's netcast called "Jefferson & The Barbarians", go to this link (it's also free to download):

Barn Owl: ..."Keith Olbermann of PMSNBC...

Olberman is MSNBC's comic relief.

Countdown is MSNBC's version of Fox's G-Block

The sad thing is that the DU honestly thinks that Olberman is really out to vindicate them; he must be laughing his %## off backstage every night!

Regarding #118...

I wrote about a friend who supported Kerry and seemed to be very angry with me.

I got an email from her this afternoon and we are going to be fine! Cooler heads prevail.

I hope all of you who are dealing with PEST in your friends and family find it resolved.

Where in the world is John Kerry?

1. He's over in France, meeting with representatives of the PLO for hours, behind closed doors, then sitting next to Arafat's bedside when they plug the plug, so one day Kerry can say "I was there with Arafat when he died and then I met with the leaders of the PLO who told me Bush is a great divider, not a uniter.

2. He's in North Korea having uni-lateral talks with Kim, so someday he can say "I met with Kim, and he said Bush is the reason why we hate America."

3. He's sitting behind closed doors with the juror's deliberating the Scott Peterson trial. "I was there when the jury reached their verdict."

4. He's been in his master bedroom closet since Nov 3
crying and beating his head against the 100% Virgin Wool Carpet on the floor. "It's a lie, all a lie, fuddermucker Swiftvets!!!"

Ummm... excuse me, Mr. Psychiatrist, please sir. "post-traumatic stress syndrome" is NOT a childhood trauma but reaction to a trauma, you know like when something really, really bad happens and you can't shake it off.

John Kerry wants to run again (or at least he's looking into the possibility of running again.)

He doesn't get it yet that Dems are mad at him, too, for losing. He thinks all this sadness is love for him. He never got it that it's been about hating Bush all along (and NOT about loving him.)

The Dems won't recycle Gore OR Kerry next time.

Kerry may daze and confuse them for the next four years, though, as they go slowly and permanently insane.

Petuna is right. this story sounds like Onionesque satire. I simply cannot believe how wussey and actually self-absorbed these people are.

"Ohhh, please don't bomb me. I voted for Kerry."

Thank goodness most of the country has the balls to stand up to Islamo-facisim.

The last week or so has been near Armegeddon for the LLL.

* Kerry goes down big, REAL BIG.
* Senate and House go further to the right.
* Fish sinks into a coma, dies, Pali infighting erupts.
* Newsweek exposes JFinK's petty shallowness.
* The French wallow in doo-doo in the Ivory Coast.
* Moorelock's stupid movie DQ'ed from award shows.
* Daddy "No-War"bucks George Soros panned by all.

and now, an epidemic of moonbat depression.

Muwhahahahahahaha!!

I don't get it. What is with these people? Is this the first they ever heard of elections? Don't they realize that there will be a winner and a loser in an election? I guess they are the subject of today's politically correct public school system where there are no winners or losers - everyone is equal. It just goes to show you, the President is right - our education system needs overhauling big time!

Barbara Moonbat Striesand's ravings right here

Please rush her website and shut it down

Therapy over the election...gads, what a pathetic ploy for attention and sympathy.

"Bush made me depressed! *cwy*"

Sheesh...what utter morons. Screw the funding for therapy, someone should be checking their water for lead...this many stupid people in one spot is a bit frightening.

Dang, these people just can't cope when things don't go their way!

This is the result of all the political correctness that has been shoved our throats over the past few years, the continual lowering of the bar on everything that matters like education. They've lowered the bar so much just to make it easier for little Johnny to pass and get through school, all because we certainly don't want his "wid-dle fee-wings" hurt in any way if he is falls behind.
We can't DO or SAY anything anymore at all because somebody, somewhere might get offended.

These spoiled little bastards (and bastardettes) have been raised in a freakin' virtual bubble having everything go their way for so long that now they find themselves face to face with their first dose of REALITY, that they simply just can't function in society.

Notice how most of these people are young kids that probably voted for the first time..maybe it's all the ritalin they've been taking over the past that has screwed up their little minds.

The only cure for PEST is a frontal lobotomy--Medicare and Medicaid will pay.

I'd be willing to give them a little thump-therapy and a ride to the Canadian border.

This is that little patch of south Florida that is really really blue. I bet even if this ailment goes into remission for them, they will have recurrences in 2006 and again in 2008, probably resulting in coma.

Sooo, you're tellin' me that when I make the L for Loser sign at them, and chant loooser! Loser, loser, LOSER, it could be deleterious to their psychiatric well being? Awww.

All in all, I think I might be more hated for wearin' the Georgia Red and Black than for pokin' fun at the losers in the Kerry/Bush conflict, just to keep things in perspective.

We?re calling it ?post-election selection trauma? [PEST! ?ed.] and we?re working to develop a counseling program for it.

Um, guys? It's called education - teach them how fargin' LUCKY they are that the rest of us care more and know better than they what's good for the country. Learn it, live it, LOVE it.
They will rapidly once again become useful productive memebers of society - or thier heads will explode...

#31 Poitiers-Lepanto  
I'd say childish, but in doing so I would offend the dignity of children. Same for retarded.

The problem w/ winning the Democratic nomination is that you're still a Democrat?

Folks,

My sister is so moonbatty that she thinks Bush will take away her right to have an abortion. She is 51 years old and has had a hysterectomy.

Her birthday is next week I sent her $50. and a card.

Tucked inside the envelope I included a county by county map of the states won by Bush. It will drive her over the edge but, the $50 gift will help her through it.

$50 buys a lot of cheap gin.

Oh for pete's sake, do I have to start close captioning for the humor impaired?

Nope, I got it the first time. It *is* easier, however, when you use the / sarcasm tag to be clear.
There have been many who write pretty much just exactly that, and meant every word.

Nicely done, btw...

yeah, yeah... Dr. Schwartzchild - sounds comforting, Jewish, and Familiar... AND he's associated w/ black holes... hehehhehe..

Then, you get to wonder how many of them call more than once, convinced they've mis-dialed, as opposed to being punk'd..
Much low humor there, m'man. ((-'pb

thanks for the laugh. If only they would take that 1st step.
