		<description>Like most things out of the democrat ranks, &quot;healing&quot; is a one-way street.

		<description>Earl (#13)
&gt;&gt; And Bookworm, you are charmingly naive if you think that those who have won so much by stoking the fires of racial entitlement are going to give up the best gig they EVER have had.  There is NO WAY that the race-hustlers are going home, now that a (half) black man is in the White House. &gt;&gt;

One of the things I&#039;ve thought about in the past is that the liberal activists that we are all used to have become professional grievance agitators.  The key word there is &lt;b&gt;professional&lt;/b&gt;.

They will not be going away.  Why not?  They have nowhere to go to!  Agitating is what they do for their lives&#039; work.  They know nothing else.  There is no way they can give that up.  And therefore the professional agitation by the grievance monkeys (and that&#039;s not racist, for I&#039;m including all long-term feminist and gay activists and all others in this bucket), this professional agitation will always surround us.

They need a population lost in a victimization mentality to succeed, and they will never stop fostering it.</description>

		<description>Helen (#8)
&gt;&gt; The American people have spoken. And now, let the healing begin. &gt;&gt;

I would agree, had the healing also occurred when the Republicans won in 2000 and 2004.

What&#039;s good for the goose is good for the gander.  I&#039;m not buying into the usual double standard: where in this case liberals are allowed to become even more wildly angry, but conservatives are supposed to seek compromise and peace.</description>

		<description>Take a look at real clear politics&#039; site for a breakdown of what states went where.

2 % doesn&#039;t mean much until you see it broken down.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The American people have spoken. And now, let the healing begin.&lt;/b&gt;

They have spoken and now they will hear the world speak. Let the killing begin.

And for me, it&#039;s time to go back to the classroom. I have learned many things from terrorism and wars since 9/11. I am sure I will learn much from Obama&#039;s tries in the Great Game as well.</description>

They don&#039;t need to give up the gig. Did AQ give up killing wome nand children in Iraq? Did the Sunni Tribesman give up their notions of culture, sharia, or tribal leadership? No. We made them dead or our allies nonetheless.</description>

		<description>Al is right......adrenalin is the enemy of clear thinking - it&#039;s really good for &quot;flight or fight&quot;, but that&#039;s not what&#039;s needed right now.

Analysis, counter-measures, and planning for the future are the keys.

And conservatives had better be keeping an eye on McCain and others like him, as much as on the leftists....join them in efforts where they&#039;re on the side of the angels, but NEVER trust them enough to turn your back.</description>

		<description>We&#039;re all angry as Hell, guys. And worried as Hell too. Let&#039;s not let our fear/anger blind us from what is happening and what we must do. It is not simplistic to say,
&quot;Fear is the mind killer.&quot; We&#039;re in for a rough ride. Let&#039;s see it all the way home.

		<description>I&#039;ve got news for you, BrianE. A lot of American Jews think Israel is &quot;bad&quot; and support the Palestinian /Arab position. Sad but true.</description>
