There is this story on CNN.com about this guy that tried to blow up the Liberty Bell. And in the the bottom of the story is the area where you leave your comment on the story.
Well there is/was a guy that decided to post that it must "probably a raving democrat with intense hatred America". So, being me, I go after him.
Why do I get into this kind of fights? I get bated way to easy.

(6,787 posts)...he would have capitalized the "D" in "Democrat. "Raving democrat" can only mean a person madly in love with democratic, i.e.., egalitarian, ideals. Dumb bastidd.
I'm glad you have the energy to take these silly sods on...

(14,120 posts)It is just a wast of time and mental energy.
But when I see those type say something like that about Democrats hating America....

(10,337 posts)In my 62 years I have learned that there is no point arguing with a dog barking at a vaccume cleaner. or my brother, or my stepson. When your worldview comes from GlennBeckistan, you simply can not be reasoned with. Why bother?

(5,756 posts)I made a few comments like "I love how you people's mind-reading, mental superpowers allow you to divine to which party, if any, this person belongs, and of course his motivation."
It's like an addiction. I can't help myself.

(14,120 posts)But it looks like he is bored with us. He has not posted anything since I posted...
"No I mean a Republican that had no idea what is really going
on in this country. That are in need of waking up and seeing the real mess that Bush left this country in. A republican that has no clue what such foolishness like that badly named "Right to Work" legislation has done and is doing to the people!"
Add: And that is why my friends call, when I get started, going Chihuahua.

A person answered me about a post saying...
"No border jumpers and non working stoned hippys are not americans, thank you, although i do hate you on a personal level."
And I lost it again, saying
"Sorry, I am a College Grad, B.A in Communications, which survived the deadliest tornado in modern history (May 22, 2011 in Joplin Mo) and got to see what the Republicans have done to all the programs that are supposed to help people. I am a Democrat
that has set down with those that are in need and found out that all those spoon fed lies the conservatives have shoved down the peoples thoughts are just that, lies.
I have been with people that lost their jobs and homes. They
could not find more work due to their credit scores that drop due to losing their house. The banks destroyed them with their Republican backed lies.
I am an American that, in the city of Tucson was asked for
her papers. My Missouri ID was not good enough. It was a nightmare, thank God I had my Birth Certificate with me due to going to a homeless expo that advertised they were helping people get Arizona IDs.
I am a women that believes in My Body, My Choice. That no
one, for no reason has the right to tell what I can or cannot do with. Especially a Conservative that gives lip service about caring for children. They only care for the unborn because that love to tell people what to do. When the child is born, they dont care a bit. They would rather have it just go away after it is born.
And if you are against any of this, then I more
than likely hate you on a personal level too."
I hit the post before even thought about it! WHY DO I DO THAT!!!

(1,831 posts)For way too long, the Democratic party has had a reputation for "getting along" and little backbone. The recent challenges, debate victories, and activist awareness that has marked our party work are leaving marks. You, Elizabeth Warren, and other citizens who are willing to argue obvious bullshit, slanted interpretations, and outright lies and bribes, are becoming more widely known, accepted, and realized for bringing back the prosperity that America once knew.
Keep up the good work! Just make sure that afterwards, you decompress and shed stress. Those assholes renting space in your head is a bad thing.
Lady Freedom Returns
(14,120 posts)Wow. Thank you for the complement of placing me in a group of people like her. But I am no where near her caliber!
cbrer
(1,831 posts)There's lots of really good folks busting their asses to say and do the right thing. You're both setting a great example for the tone, and the actions we need to pursue. Never ever EVER give up! We owe it to ourselves, our babies, and we damn sure owe it to our great grandpappies and grannies that made huge sacrifices for us.
Your caliber isn't as important as a message of truth and awareness. Did I mention never ever give up?
