There is such a disconnect with reality by those who deem they are higher and mightier than thou.
The Republican party is basically made up of people who:
- Vote against their own best interests. They vote for anti-gay measures, fearing that it will somehow destroy their lives, their marriages, their children, and their future. Never mind the fact that they are still pro-divorce, pro-war, pro-hate (i.e. basically it’s the “I have the right to express and act on hate” instead choosing to act civil, rational, and humane), anti-peace (they mock protesters by calling them hippies and radicals – yet they are perfectly fine with the idea of bringing guns and weapons to places where the president will be speaking). They are anti-human rights & anti-civil rights – they want to lock up anyone yet they deem as “too different for comfort” – yet they find it offensive when you decide to COMPLAIN about their intolerance.
They have absolutely no concept of what “freedom” is – they are in fact the oppressors who claim they have the right to hate and vilify anyone they choose. AND they demand protection, apologies and amendments for everything they do. Yes, you have the right to hate – but you don’t have the right to violently act out your hateful ways. There’s a huge difference between feeling hate and actually expressing hate. You can hate all you want. I hate rightwingers. But you don’t see me – or anyone else – pointing guns in their faces, taking their guns away (like they repeatedly claim), openly threatening them with violence, etc. You simply DON’T DO THAT.
But the right repeatedly does it. You read and hear about it all the time. You have radio personality, Stephanie Miller, who recently was taunted by a nutjob driver in L.A. who literally almost forced her off the road, calling HER a “crazy b*tch*. Why? Because she had a sticker on her car that – jokingly – called herself a “Hollywood Liberal”. The guy in the car didn’t know who she was. He was simply offended by her bumper sticker and taunted her about it – while trying to force her into a serious accident.
Freedom of speech is NOT freedom to hate. Being intolerant of people who are different IS *hate*. Hating your oppressor is NOT *hate*. It’s actually self-defense.
They have absolutely no idea what racism or facism is.
They have even gone as far as calling Hitler a lefty. A lefty… The guy murdered Jews – and Gays – and anyone who wasn’t what he considered “classically beautiful”.
Hitler was in absolute AWE of the stereotypical blonde-haired-blue-eyed, Christian. He was seeking a perfect race – trying to rid the world of “substandard” humans.
Sigh…and so this somehow turns him into a “lefty” – the party of people who LOVE you for being anyone you wanna be. Because that’s your RIGHT.
But I digress…
Being *anti-white* to them is somehow racism – or “reverse racism”. Yet, making fun of blacks or gays is somehow NOT supposed to be offensive.
Being polite and considerate is called “PC” to them. Yet, if you complain about Bush or any Republican, they run behind the flag or a soldier and call you anti-American.
Seriously.
If these people were chickens, they’d elect Col. Sanders as their president.
They are ALWAYS voting against their own best interests.
