At least it’s the beginning of the end. America will awake by the dawn’s early light this November 8, 2006 renewed to Her original purpose and on the verge of changing the miserable course She’s been hijacked to follow by despicable politicians calling themselves Republicans, when they are in fact thugs and killers of the American Dream.
The world is about to become a safer place for Democracy.
I’m not going to chant, “Death to the neocons,” while singing victory anthems to Democrats. But my hymn of affirmation to one will be my eulogy over the other.
So many firsts and near-firsts to be proud of in their accomplishment and in their attempt in this, our just-written history.
So many promises to be fulfilled for the uninsured, the minimum wage-earners, the immigrants who want a better life, the under-employed who want an improved standard of living, and the under class who want a fair chance.
The breeze that carries true freedom is wafting once again across our land, and I hope it carries with it the refreshed hopes of all our citizens to infuse us with the true Spirit of America and to cleanse us of the wretched excess of those who kidnapped our country six years ago, and to restore to us all the parental liberties that have been sacrificed in their false cause.
Starting tomorrow, I can believe that soldiers will return home, that the national debt will be reduced, that the military will be relieved of wars of misadventure, that justice may prevail over the corrupt, that America is returning to her rightful place among the family of nations, recovering her respect and honor.
What I see . . .It’s a beautiful thing. The nightmare is ending, the dream returns.
is a beautiful diary Limelite. It is full of grace and hope and renewal. Thank you for this!
I’ve discovered I’m at my most eloquent at 2:30 in the morning when I composed it.
It being a more civilized hour, I can return to my more normal mode of expression, which is. . .
Imagining All the Scenarios Leading To President Pelosi.
Thinking along lines of Cheney goes mad following the “thumping” Republicans have received in the Midterm elections. Upon return to Washington from WY hunting trip he storms into the WH. He fires at what he thinks is a chimpanzee in the Oval office. Stunned and reeling from shock after he realizes his sort-of mistake, his left arm grows numb and the rifle falls from his hands as he clutches at his chest which feels like a brand of fire constricted by a band of steel.
Nancy walks in, pushes the Primate out of the chair, buzzes for housekeeping, settles behind the desk, and America begins to put America back on track.
Just a balloon over my head.
You write very well at 2:30 AM…I also like the way your mind works, re: President Pelosi…
Near the end of a very long day shuttling people and absentee votes to their appropriate locations, I saw this and took it as a good omen…

Well done everyone!
Sailor’s delight!
Where do you live? Here in SoFla, Mt. Trashmore constitutes “purple mountains’ majesty.”
