Feeling Encouraged, Dick?

Justice is beginning to unfold for the ardent war supporters of congress: Lieberman endured the first step of becoming ousted from his senate seat when he lost the primary election in Connecticut to Ned Lamont, an event that spurred the mouth of our Vice President to share the following insightful wisdom: that Lieberman's loss encourages "al Qaeda types" who want to "break the will of the American People".

To which I have only the simple rebuttal, "Are you feeling encouraged, Dick?" Oh, Cheney. Your terroristic tendencies are becoming more and more undeniable with each moronic thing you publicly say. Let's ignore this al Qaeda reference, since the words 'al Qaeda' are essentially meaningless to everyday Americans like myself and may rightfully be seen as shameless prods of push-button style fear-inducing politics. Can anyone explain to Cheney, in words he will understand, the function and application of popular vote? How about the citizens of a state expressing their collective desire to dispose of a politician they no longer wish to have represent them through practicing the democratic process? I believe these activities lead to an expression of the "Will of the American People". So what’s our VP talking about? Who are these "types" that are trying to "break" precisely what took place in Connecticut recently? I suppose they'd be anybody who runs interference against our citizenry's efforts to behave democratically, and do you think this includes those who do so through manipulative tactics capitalizing on the people's fear? Sure it does; after all, that’s exactly what terrorism is. Fear-driven politics.

I have admittedly never spoken with or read the words of an "al Qaeda type" before, though my government leads me to believe they are mostly of Middle Eastern descent. Perhaps this is true, I don't know, but I don't think their ethnic background much matters; I'm more concerned with their motives and ambitions, their methods and such like that. For this reason, I have ascertained that this Dick Cheney, whom also I have never met or spoken with, must be an "al Qaeda type", despite that he does not resemble Middle Easterners at all, but looks more like he's descended from white privilege. Appearances matter less than character qualities and personal ambitions, or so any sensible person can figure out. In attempting to impede willful action through appealing to the fear of the American people, willful action as demonstrated by these Connecticutians and prevent its imitation elsewhere in our country, Cheney must be self-encouraged.
