Hey America - YOUAsked For It and You Got It

So a majority of voters (not D's/Progressives) voted for Republicans last fall thinking they were voting for "jobs" and "reform" and "fiscal responsibility" and they got right wing insanity instead. (Or people "voted" for it by default by being foolish and staying home in some ridiculous funk saying Dems weren't "progressive" enough so they had to "punish" them, only it is those who refused to vote who are getting punished.)

Hm, let's see what Americans got nationally and across the country at the state level as a result of this last election:

1) a push for PERMANENT NEEDLESS AND RECKLESS tax cuts for the rich and super rich
2) no more PBS
3) no more Planned Parenhood
4) no more National Endowments For The Arts or Humanities
5) no more healthcare
6) no more workers rights
7) no more environmental laws
8) hate of anyone not ultra right and ultra white
9) massive cuts in education at all levels
10) guns on college campuses
11) no more publicly-financed clean elections
12) re-defining rape to kill reproductive healthcare benefits
13) refusal to accept funds for high speed rail and other job-creating advancements
14) NO PROACTIVE JOBS-OF-THE-FUTURE INVESTMENT STRATEGY - JUST MORE PRO-RICH TRICKLE DOWN
15) an all-out attack on women's reproductive healthcare and rights

and on and on and on

The one silver lining is that this radical right wing agenda is finally waking up many "progressives" and getting them out of their funk and putting on some balls and taking to the streets. Hopefully this will continue and grow, and come this year and 2012 they will be out there smashing down these radical TeaPublican policies on the streets, in the halls of government, and most importantly at the VOTING BOOTH. It does need to be said that it is too bad that all this recent activism didn't happen last November instead of allowing the TeaPuke right to have a wave election and then start doing things to destroy the country in order to wake people up, but ok, now we go forward.

Radical TeaPublicanism is here BIGTIME, and now the moderate to progressive SANE majority needs to decide once again if they want to return to the 1700's or move forward in this new century with a cleaner environment and a fairer and more advanced civilization which is what we have always done, generation to generation. This country is headed in REVERSE bigtime, just as the President said would happen if these TeaRadicals got in. Well, now they're in. How do you like it? Had enough yet? If so, what are you going to do about it? Me? Right now I'm working like hell to help elect a Democrat in a March 1st state House of Reps special election. This summer I'm going to work with other Dems to put together a new regional Young Democrats organization and, in other ways as well, work to build our local Dems volunteer base in preparation for 2012. There's a start.
