I watched Fox News for five hours last night

As Obama's victory became undeniable, Brit Hume moved beyond grief and anger with Karl Rove. And Juan Williams justified his existence.

    Just a small vent.....

    For the past 8 years I have had MY patriotism questioned by these chicken hawk motherfrakers.

    My father, my uncle, my sister, my brother, my first husband, my second husband, and I ALL served this country in the armed forces. My brother is in Saudi Arabia on his second rotation.

    We were/are all Democrats. My dad was a Democratic party official and candidate in PA during the early '70's. He was what you might call a community organizer. And he went out of his way to help Vietnam vets find housing, jobs, and a voice in the system. Imagine....

    We have served, and continue to serve our country proudly and well.

    McCain, Palin, Bush, Cheney, Rove, and their supporters worked so hard to redefine my family as somehow unAmerican because we have some different visions about our country. Well, screw all of them. They don't deserve any more of our attention. Just shut up. You all belong on the dung heap of history.

    It was truly wonderous to watch Obama help bring back what is so great about this country. And truly sad to realize how far down we have gone.

    It's time to let the real grown-ups run things....Yes, we can!
