Say Goodbye To Roe V. Wade, Social Security, Public Schools, Clean Air

Clean water, national forests. Say goodbye to any hope of saving the planet from environmental disaster. Say goodbye to equal rights, freedom of speech, separation of church and state. Say goodbye to good science, funding for stem cell research. Say goodbye to peace and prosperity and security. Say goodbye to any parts of the constitution that Bush doesn't like. And on and on and on.

Goodbye America. It was nice knowing you.

I will stay here, I will fight, but this country, unfortunately, is about to get exactly what it deserves.

I will send you postcards from whatever civilized country I end up in.

I will stay and tough it out. Thankfully, I live in NY, so I think I should be ok, at least for the short term. I feel for my brothers and sisters in other less friendly states though.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I'm staying and fighting.

There won't even be a vote next time.

Only the illusion of one. I suspect that's all we will have from now on. A bone thrown to peasants to make them feel as if they have a voice so they don't get overtly violent.

at the CDC and in other areas....

Diaspora, anyone?

Think I'm kidding?

It will certainly accelarate now...Funding for science will start drying up and start being given to faith based groups.

who had contingency plans.

It's not like this was something that hit out of the blue.

no executive orders clearing up mercury, etc.; in short, nothing to help the people of this country.

I wonder how long it will be before they reintroduce the OVERTIME PAY screw job.

I guess there won't be any more extensions of unemployment benefits, either.

WHO CARES, right????

They should be crossing the border in Iran just about summer of '05.

I blame 9 out of 10 voters between 18-29. Where were you?!?

Put all their crazy-assed shit on the ballot in every state. Ten Commandments, prayer in school, creationism, eliminate unions, cut all social programs, vouchers, all of it. Maybe shock the people into realizing what's happening.

Actually, I think the republican party is still in for a tumultuous time. The fiscal conservatives and libertarians in the party are not happy with the right-wing agenda of the administration as it is, and certainly won't like to see it pushed any farther.

I hate to say it, but with the way congress went in this election, the moderate republicans might be our last hope to stop the Bushies.

Who could have guessed?

The Plame investigation will go by the wayside. The 9/11 commission report will never be fully divulged. The Supreme Court will be stacked with wingers for the balance of at least my lifetime.

The one bright spot that I am clinging to is that they can't blame the Democrats for anything that happens. There is effectively no Democratic representation throughout our govermment.

They're going to be paved over for giant Walmarts in the near future.

Come visit Exxon/Mobil Yellowstone.

See the caged grizzly bears as you pass by on our special $24.99 Snowmobile Excursion.

There is a hell coming the likes of which we have never seen.

i've always enjoyed your posts and reading your mind.

i am calm and preparing for the consequences of my country's actions.

i've been back in school. no more. i've been writing a 3rd book. no more.

2005 means 2 jobs for me. save money. buncker down. i've not going to get caught flat footed.

i work in a university and i am preparing these wonderful kids for what may happen. none of them want a crusading theocracy. let the fundies kids/grandkids die. they aren't getting a single one of my friends. not one.

bunker down, my friend.

Thanks for the compliment, I assure you it is returned! I see a like mind you.

Bunker down is right. Things are going to get real ugly real fast.

The next Supreme Court will make overturning this decision a priority. Sodomy will be criminalized again. And there goes gay marriage. And we're relegated to second class citizenship. Permanently.

Thanks, America. Thanks a whole fucking lot.

There will be no justice, only judgement...

amerikkka - home of the scared

Everyone else will be second class citizens...or worse...

Most of us never even got a chance to get to know you.

Gotta run. I have a few hundred more envelopes to stuff here at the sheltered workshop.

A couple of years ago. Garrett v. Board of Regents of Univ. of Alabama. Look for more, much more of the same.

.

I didn't say it wasn't. I said to say goodbye to it, because that funding will soon be drying up. Your point?

There is no desire from Republicans to end stem cell research funding. There is a lot of money to be made by the big drug companies if the research leads to a breakthrough.

The funding will not be there (not federally anyway), I can almost guarantee it.

Big drug companies don't need federal funding for their research, they have their own money (thought they do get some). The people that need the federal funds work at universities, NGO's and hospitals etc. This is my field, I know what I'm talking about, take it for what it's worth, but you're wrong. Federal funding for this research is about to dry up considerably, not to mention there is now no chance of opening up new lines for study w/ whatever federal funds are left. This research is about to go belly up in this country and the scientists in this field (and many others for that matter) will be leaving in droves. Mark my words, it's already happening.

All that drilling for a six month supply of oil that won't be available for at least ten years.

What the fuck is this country thinking?????

the Constitution, that is.

We don't need no steenking rules in our empire. L'etat c'est moi. Ooops, bush would never say that. It's French, but I'm sure he's though it in English (or what passes for it in his peabrain).
