Not to mention the entire "American way of life."
It can't be sour grapes for me. I hate Gore. During the election, after the
primaries were over and all the qualified candidates had been ruled out, I
hoped that our esteemed president would win. I wanted the Clinton heritage
gone -- wiped from the face of our government. I didn't vote for him, I
couldn't bring myself to that extreme, but I did hope it would be Gush instead
of Bore.
But I am continually disgusted with the usurper. Not just because he is an
imbecile, but because his daddy and friends masterminded the theft of the last
scrap of our heritage that was worth keeping. Now we have nothing. Being an
American is an empty claim.
It's not sour grapes. It's just wrong. I kept an 8x10 of Ron and Nancy in my
highschool locker in the 80s. I'm not some fourth generation Democrat. It's
just wrong. It will always be wrong. We should be dragging the usurper into
the street and stoning him and all his cronies to death. But instead we're
swirling Jiffy-Pop on our new flat-topped stove with CNN in the background
while getting ready to sit in our $200 office chair to read the internet.
Things are not right.
We are lost.
And Richard's colorful Great North American Game Preserve is truer every day.
