Terms we need to re-own:

The election may not have been stolen — it’s more like it was beaten out of us with heavy clubs — but we’ve lost some key terms. We need to take them back. Or, if you prefer to be Lakoffian about it, we need to reframe them:

——

this is a key point, there are other terms, but we need to get these terms out of the nationalist agenda and back to a progressive agenda of some sort.

some people are saying secede… i’m saying… from what?

Shining city on a hill:

Since 9/11 American nationalists have not been shy to tell us about the marvellous things that the United States have brought to the world. And I agree with them. The US Constitution, the struggle against slavery, the struggle for civil rights, the greatest city in the world (New York), the blues, jazz, soul. I could go on and on. I might even, on a generous day, include Hollywood. I love those Americas, and I always will. I’d like to thank them for standing against the strident nationalists and George W. Bush.

— The thirteen original states that brought us the Constitution voted overwhelmingly for John Kerry.
— The states that didn’t secede and which fought against slavery voted overwhelmingly for John Kerry.
— Black America which brought us in Martin Luther King, one of the greatest moral exemplars of modern times as well as the blues, jazz and soul voted overwhelmingly for John Kerry.
— California, home of the modern motion picture industry, voted for Kerry.

These are the great American achievements: the United States’ lasting contribution to freedom, culture and progress. Sadly, that America, the America of which Americans have the most reason to be proud and foreigners have tho most reason to admire, just lost. Again.

this is wisdom…. but there is also reaction…

i mean whose permanent revolution do we want in the end? Bush’s?

because that is what we have…. I’d rather see democratic action, bring back the SDS, reprise 1968, or at least try to change things for the better. no one reads Debord anymore.

Kerry Victory Speech:

Good morning. I am proud to announce that I am the new leader of the Democratic Union of West and East Coasts (DUWEC). Late last night, it became clear that our nation is divided. On one side, the progressive and liberal secular values that made America, on the other, a radical expansionist, fundamentalist, faith-based project (Christian Reactionist American Patriots). This division is tearing our nation apart, and it has become clear that the differences are insurmountable.

well sort of….. but anyway, lots of people have this sort of feeling i think.
