Republicans
Republicans are really getting on my nerves. I’m trying to be like our president (and a good Buddhist) and be welcoming and non-judgmental but it annoys me that they’re trying to ruin everything. I don’t hate all Republicans—I love my Republican neighbors, for example—fine people who embody the sound ideological values Republicans were all about in the first place, before the party got bent out of shape. Republican values have been subverted by what Buddhism calls the three poisons: greed, anger and foolishness.
Republicans are trying to screw Obama. The same thing happened with Clinton. Those Republicans who had no interns falling all over them were so jealous of Bill, they impeached him. Then Bush comes along and leaves a world-wide swath of destruction, plunders our country, and he’s sitting on a ranch eating pretzels. The Republicans hate Obama because like Clinton, he is everything they aren’t. And way more. They have no one in the same time zone as Obama. Obama has come to enable all of us to do (another Buddhist term) our Human Revolution. We are all coming to grips with our karma, both collectively and individually. Bullshit, of any nature or variety, is no longer an effective way of life.
It’s very exciting but it sure isn’t going to be easy. Actually making changes is so very much harder than talking about them. Recognizing the problem is not the solution to the problem. Obama wants to actually walk the walk with us, help us all face reality, make the necessary changes and change humanity. Republicans want to keep the status quo, maintain their 19th century values, remain separatist and oblivious to everyone else. It’s tough to watch them attack Obama, when they should be kissing his robe because at last, someone has come to restore us to our senses, but it will all play out. I have confidence. The energy now is that truth will out, bullshit will be revealed, all karma is coming home to roost.
Just a heads-up, Republicans.
