Dear Bush Supporter,
You disgust me.  Your opposition to marriage rights for gay couples not a "principle" worthy of respect; it is rank prejudice, and it, and you, deserve nothing but contempt from all civilized people.  You are on the same moral plane as your ancestors who opposed interracial marriage, and your descendants will look back on it with the same embarrassment with which most of you look back on that.  You are the ethical and intellectual heirs of the racist conservatives of the last century, and like them, you are fighting an unwinnable rearguard action against the march of human rights.  You and the militant Muslims you so detest deserve each other; you're two sides of the same worthless coin.  You have won this battle, but you and your cause are nevertheless destined for the proverbial ash bin of history.

By deciding to vote based on this imaginary "threat" to your so-called "moral values," you have given America another four years of the most incompetent, irresponsible, ideologically driven administration in its history.  When you or your children are drafted and sent of to be killed in the Middle East, blame yourself; it was your choice.  When you're laid off because your employer found somebody in India to do your job at a tenth of your salary, blame yourself; you asked for it.  When you're sick from the mercury emissions of that new coal-fired power plant down the road, and can't get healthcare because you were laid off, blame yourself; it's your fault.  I, who voted to spare you these misfortunes, will suffer none of them.  I'm one of those upper-middle-class, Northeastern/Left Coaster (born and raised in Maryland, living in California), academic, elitist liberals you love to hate.  My family, unlike yours, will actually benefit financially from Bush's tax cuts, and I can afford decent healthcare, a post-graduate education that qualifies me for the kind of job that will never be outsourced, and a home in the kind of neighborhood that can afford to keep polluters at a distance.  I'm just a little too old to draft, and would in any case have no problem with telling my recruiting office that I'm bisexual in order to disqualify myself.  Not true, but effective -- and not being a bigot like you, I would feel no shame in it.  My two younger brothers, who are of military age, actually ARE bisexual, so I have no fears for them either.  I will mourn the damage that four more years of this administration will do to my country, but I will survive it.  Some of you will not, and you will get no sympathy from me; you brought it on yourselves.

If this offends you, I don't care.  At this point I'm not trying to persuade you; you are manifestly too stupid to be persuaded by any argument I could make.  If the disasters of the next four years bring you to your senses, good.  If not, well, America is better than you, and America will out-live you and your beliefs.  The youngest cohort of voters did not vote your way, and as you die off, you will be replaced by a more enlightened, more tolerant generation.  You are America's past; people like me are its future, and I for one will waste no more time on you.  Good night, good luck coping with the consequences of your vote, and may God have mercy on your soul; you're going to need it.
