It must be so tiring to be hateful

[Octoberfurst]

37. I agree!

Right-wngers live on hate. It's who they are. And, yes, I will grant you that there is hate on the progressive side too. But I think most of our hate is directed at those who espouse cruel policies or are bigots in one form or another. The Right just hates people for who they are. In other words if you are gay, liberal, a minority, non-Christian, etc you are automatically hated. You're "the other".
And I agree that right-wingers live in a black & white world. No shades of grey for them! Christians---good! Muslims--bad! Whites---good! Blacks---bad! For some reason they seem think that if America was just made up of White, Christian, heterosexual, conservatives that America would be a paradise. It's stupid, but I firmly believe that is the case.
I have listened to talk radio and have watched Fox News ---as much of it as I could stand anyway---to see what the other side is saying. They always present "us vs them" scenarios. It's the "real" Americans against the welfare lovin', big government promoting, God-hating, unpatriotic, lazy "libtards" and their allies in the gay and minority community. Yep we are the ones who are destroying America and MUST be stopped at any cost! That's why the Right loves to talk about "2nd Amendment solutions" and civil war all the time. It's like they are itching to see blood on the streets while they enact their Rambo fantasies. It's actually pretty frightening when you read the blogs on conservative sites. The hate is palatable and they can't wait for the "revolution" to start. I have tried to talk some self to them but they immediately dismiss me and tell me how much I hate this country and should get the hell out. It's quite sad actually. They live in a toxic world of hate and promote violence. I can't imagine what it is like to be angry ALL the time.
