I wanted to write a grand and glowing essay this morning but I’m just too wiped out from being on-air at Fox News until 5am. So instead, I’ve compiled some of my tweets from last night — marking this important victory for progress and justice in America.
So damn proud to be an American tonight!

Congratulations President Obama — and to hope and opportunity triumphing over greed and divisiveness!

Maine, Maryland and Washington pass marriage equality by popular vote. A good night for fairness and justice nationwide!

Stunning that Republicans who played up how Obama was easy to beat are now downplaying the significance of him winning.

The only thing I agree with was BHO was re-elected. I see my civil liberties dying more each day. BHO bypasses congress and with the stroke of his pen leads us down the path to dictatorship. We will see the true BHO this term.
As far as the other points. I am not a Republican. I am a Tea Party conservative. I do not believe in unions, was in one once. I do not care what people do behind closed doors. Your life is your life. What gets me about the whole LGBGMT (hope that is right), are the parades I see. Nipple ring to nipple ring. Leather chaps…honestly.
As I see the spending I would like for you to max out every credit card you have and then look back at what you have….nothing but strangling debt. From my perspective that is where we are headed. Greece here we come.
I have a great many friends that I love very much that are as LIB as you. I was raised to believe that Politics are like dirty words…do not utter them publically.
Just reflect for a moment that half of America is very unsure of the new path we are on. When GWB (who was the first president at Fort Hood shooting BTW and not just a photo op!). Research the man and you might find that every one has a good side, and pundits like you and others fail to recognize the good in people.
During hurricane Ike my house still had electricity. Every inch of every space was covered with people. I never asked them who they voted for. We came together.
For every Carl Rove their is a David Axelrod. Both evil to the other. But really. What happend to Statesmenship? I had a young person give me the finger over a bumper sticker. A sticker. It is the masses like that who will turn neighbor against neighbor. Them versus us. Hitler was fostered in such an environment.
I apologize for my rant. I do want to complement you on your writing. Very thought provoking. You, Ma’am, have found your way to my daily reading list. Good luck and God bless.
Broken down ole Paratrooper
Sally Kohn is just another confused Democrat. Her articles clearly follow their doctrine in that apparently when you say something, so long as you are a liberal democrat, it is true. No fact or truth need apply when they speak. Yes, there is no doubt she and others like her are simply wrong. When the time comes to pay the piper, America will pay because of their ignorance. Its really just that simple. Ignorance is the real enemy and with Obama in office for another 4 years, its clear its not going anywhere any time soon. Sally, you are simply one uninformed sad individual.
Sally – you must be that special kind of stupid – if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire-the middle class will carry the burden of the tax increases – that great economist Nancy Pelosi is howling about a middle class tax cut and there is none on the board – so please get your facts straight – the rich never pay the taxes – the working middle class always carries the burden. I just wish someone would do the simple thing – quit the spending – it really is that simple – get people off of the government dole and go back to work – 180,000 Hostess employees think closing the business is a good idea – this is normal Union think.
