|
Their choice comes down to a black man, white woman, or another great depression and draft. Poor bigots.

3. Someday I'll tell my story about going from being a racist |
|
RW wacko to a liberal dem. But in short, many people don't question what they've been raised to believe. In that sense, they're victims of their upbringing. It takes something pretty drastic to shake them of their prejudices. And it certainly doesn't help when our "democratic" politicians reinforce those prejudices.
Sigh. I have to get to work. Maybe this afternoon I'll have time to tell my story.

9. Hopefully then you'll explain who the bogus victims are you're contrasting the 'real' ones with. |

the 2004 election may have landed us a big fat war and a recession, but at LEAST the gays can't get married...

i can cling to my guns and religion and xenophobia on the weekends
i think we'll work it out this time tho (but i'm an optimist)

6. Anger brings out the worse in people |
|
In reality, if folks were not so damn pissed off - I don't think you would ever be making that statement.
There is just lots and lots of anger - and a few misogynistic or racist folks, but I'd never use it as a generality to describe Dems.
peace~:)
