Too bad those on your side of the political spectrum didn't share this same sentiment for the last eight years...
I was thinking the same thing. I don't recall that spirit of unity the past 8 years.....

I hope that we here at TB2K can all remember that we are neighbors and friends. This is a community.
Americans in 1861 got so upset over political and regional differences that they began shooting their family members, neighbors, and friends. Six hundred thousand people died. Let us say, "Never Again."
I hope that we can all overcome our various differences, come to the table together, and heal the wounds of war and economic devastation in the next four years. There are few issues that can't be resolved with diplomacy and willing hearts.
Here on TB I will be adding to my ignore list. At least that way I don't have to read their "thoughts".
Precisely.
Blue America elected a candidate that openly espouses doctrine antithetical to the very foundations of this country. Screw him. I did not go to war for him or anyone who voted for him, and I HATE the fact that he will be my new Commander in Chief.
How many military folks will bail with this guy at the helm? Maybe Fruit Loop and others will step up to the plate?

Good point. I'M not reenlisting, and I'll stick around OK where NO county voted for the obamanation.

I have nothing in common with the Bush folks either.
His generation was raised on the strong pro-American propaganda machine of the 1940s and 1950s. Be a good citizen, say the Pledge of Allegiance, fight the Reds.
My generation was tired of doing things because that's the way they were always done. We saw Social Security going down the drain and realize it won't be there for us, and we're pissed off when we see what's being stolen out of our paychecks.
We see past the smoke of "patriotism" and "the greatest country in the world with a responsibility to make the rest of the world as free as we are" for what it is - a trap to force us into a war in some foreign country nobody's ever heard of so that the fat cats in Washington can keep making money.
As for Toby Keith - I liked his music when it WAS country music, and not the jingoistic pablum written specifically to cash in on 9-11. When that happened I wondered how long it would be before some overpaid entertainer wrote a smarmy piece of crap like "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning" or testosterone-driven cave-man mentality "Let's go whack something" idiocy to "commemorate" the tragedy.
Patriotism......don't make me gag.
I'm proud of today's generation. They're smart enough to think for themselves like we did in the sixties, rather than buying into that pile of sheep droppings about "let's put our personal feelings aside and get behind 'our' president because it's the right thing to do."
This reminds me of the election when the Baby Boomers cheered Bush Sr because he said he wanted to make America look more like Leave It To Beaver than the Simpsons, and the kids laughed. Maybe your generation vacuumed the carpet wearing high heels and pearls in the 1950s, but our generation is lucky if we can even afford them.

Your words here too about the last election...

Save your suggestion that if I don't like it, quit flying. I ALREADY HAVE. But I will continue to voice displeasure since I think your "Put up or shut up" and "this is just how it has to be" is wrong. I have a right to do this (for now, anyway, till somebody destroys what's left of free speech.) If you find it offensive, I suggest that you put me on ignore. That's what it's for.

I plan on being every bit as "tolerant" and "loving" as the Bush-haters have been these last 8 years.
Rather than the endless "monkey-boy" and "shrub" type comments, be prepared for YEARS of the obamanation and whatever else we feel is appropriate.
Lets see how well you Bush-haters can take your own tactics. Wonder how long it will be before you start proclaiming "racism" etc.
Ah, wait, you've ALREADY started that with every negative comment about the obamanation...
It would appear that there is a need for a lot of bridge building. So I agree with Fruit loop, put the pitch forks down and start building.

I am sure you would be happy if we built that bridge all the way back to bloody England... However unlike you I do not want to be taxed to death... Unlike you I do not want to give up my guns... Unlike you I do not want the gas prices you have there.. Unlike you I do not want to go to a council so I can have a garden plot for veggies... Unlike you I not want Sharia law..We left that tyranny many, many years ago as a country...

Are we all going to find a way to work together now? Or hold to divisions that are worse today than they were four years ago?
Your choice.
And your point is, Diamonds..............?? How about you go and look at some of the hate that brought those words from me?
.
Well done, Diamonds. Well done. I never believed this crap for one minute. I've read too much of her stuff.
Good point. I'M not reenlisting, and I'll stick around OK where NO county voted for the obamanation.
I hope to see citizens who will work together to heal the bleeding heart of this country regardless of their political differences.
+1,000. Many know what's in the cards now, yet others close their eyes and refuse to even look at the deck.
God help us.
I will--here and now--make this promise to every person in this nation:
I will NOT be one of those who round you up and send you into camps because "I'm only doing my job." I'll stand up straight, square my shoulders and take a bullet between the eyes first.
Proudly,
Maureen
As long as it's on YOUR terms, right?
No.
You do not have a monopoly on opinion no matter how you try to play it.. I get so tired of the "it's okay for me but not everyone else" mentality... Or the "hey I have an excuse" but no one else does...
Wouldn't want to have a "monopoly on opinion" because that is extremely un-American.
People are of course free - and should be - to hold to any opinions they wish. Hating someone else for theirs is just wrong, though. We've had 8 years of "I'm right, you're wrong because I say so" stuff. That's exactly the kind of division that rips the heart from America, and it's gotten worse, not better.
One thing I hope to see from this election is a president who WILL respect everyone's right to disagree without calling them traitorous for it. I hope to see citizens who will work together to heal the bleeding heart of this country regardless of their political differences.
As long as it's on YOUR terms, right?
My only terms are that we all (hopefully) remember that we are all Americans and that we can still work and live together as a community despite our philosophical differences. There is room for all of us, and the country needs all of us to survive the hurt that we're in, and endure the devastation until the damage is rectified. We're all needed to repair that damage.

Same here.

God, that is so rich coming from you. So now you want to remember that we're all Americans? *snort*
P.S. Don't look now but your messiah ain't no American.

The same can be applied to our side now... We hate his ideas on policy... We hate his associations with certain individuals... We hate the fact he has covered up things such as his college records...
So yes I hate.. You do not have a monopoly on opinion no matter how you try to play it.. I get so tired of the "it's okay for me but not everyone else" mentality... Or the "hey I have an excuse" but no one else does...
BTW-I made my choice..

I have seen more hate from you on this board than I see from most posters combined I have seen too many posts where you badger someone for thier "opinion" because it is different from yours... Now you want to honor everyones right to disagree OMG this is rich... Now you want people to work together to "heal" the bleeding heart of this country
