P.J O'Rourke: 'Let Us Bend Over and Kiss Our Ass Goodbye'
P.J. O'Rourke, contributing editor at THE WEEKLY STANDARD, tells readers in "We Blew It," an article in the November 17,2008, edition of the publication, which can be read online:
Let us bend over and kiss our ass goodbye. Our 28-year conservative opportunity to fix the moral and practical boundaries of government is gone--gone with the bear market and the Bear Stearns and the bear that's headed off to do you-know-what in the woods on our philosophy.
Thanks to American voter's for sending the current crop of Conservative politicians packing. Apparently the majority don't think liberals in the United States, at this moment in history, can do any worse than what Republicans have done with the during the last eight years, which gave us two wars, an economy in shambles and division in the country resembling the division that resulted in the formation of the Confederate States of America. Only this time the political division is called Red States and Blue States.
American votes have given President-Elect Barack Obama and the Democrats the opportunity to try to fix the current economic and political mess the U.S. finds itself in. Will they be successful? Only time will tell.
