Only half way positive retort was that Jesus could unite us all.

4. the polarization is what keeps some in power, others in cash. |
|
You don't make any money of sharin' the love. You make the money off of dishing out the hate in big heaping, steaming, smelly bowls full. That's how the right wing whips their little fundegelicals into a righteous froth. Hate, hate, hate. Ooops, almost forgot. You gotta add FEAR to the mix. Hate and fear.

5. Well at least you went out trying to foster cooperation and agreement. . . |
|
and didn't add to the hate. Good for you.
The pendulum will swing again. This we know. It won't move everyone (never does) but it'll move enough. What matters is how we conduct ourselves. . . and ultimately, it will matter most to us.

7. I've noticed a big upswing of RW hate this summer |
|
The setbacks are driving them nuts. The numbers drop and the remaining ones expand their hate to fill the vacuum.

9. I have a 3-point plan for this |
|
1. declaring religious fundamentalism tantamount to terrorism 2. declaring the Republican Party a terrorist organization 3. imprisoning the criminals under points 1 and 2.

12. Oh yes - like all the freeper sites - it is all about teaching members |
|
how to loose their compassion & empathy. All about teaching others how to hate anyone not exactly like them. The GOP coalition cannot survive people feeling responsible or brotherhood with anyone less fortunate than themselves.
They teach narcissism and adolescence. Yes - I've seen it on two occasions and it is very, very sad.
