Bushed or Annoying Conservatives
By "Terri", Jan 18, 2005

Most would probably agree that the 2004 Presidential Election was nothing short of exhausting, but was this the strategy all along? With Inaguration Day quickly approaching it is surprising not to hear of any local protest marches, prayer vigils, or some sort of activities planned on January 20th for those of us who reject the Bush agenda.

After talking with folks who share my dislike for the current administration, one thing I found most had in common was exhaustion. We are still drained from the election, propaganda, and debates that came along with having an opinion especially living in a “red” state. Then it occurred to me that this was the opposing strategy.

Exhaustion certainly doesn’t change our opinions, but it does encourage us to avoid political debating and other domineering activities that our opposition thrives on. Some even allow themselves to believe that they have invalidated liberal, moderate, and free thinkers because it’s easier for us to ignore them than to reason with them.

The numbers speak for themselves. We are a nation divided. Bush supporters have only succeeded in annoying the “other half” of us. Bush’s reelection is a blow to all American citizens. It’s sadly apparent now and by the time Bush supporters come to this realization and look beyond partisan bonds we will be a nation beyond repair.

In saying this, I would like to encourage those of you suffering from "Bush Exhaustion" to leave it behind and involve yourselves with organizations and like minds who strive for change and that have a positive impact on all Americans.
