I'm afraid that we're all guilty...
And it's completely understandable.

We're all guilty of mixing and matching all of our asshole enemies into one grand and amorphous gaggle.

But it's a little bit more complicated than that...


We confuse the juvenile libertarian Paulistas with the Bush loving Republican criminal apologists... Turns out that they actually hate each other. And they all hate us too (No surprise)


We confuse the angry tea baggers with the Freepers. Turns out that the Freepers have a much better, if yet tenuous, command of the English language, only because they have to practice writing their dumb assed screeds on their fucked up website.


We confuse the crypto-fascist Christian fundies with the professionaland las GOP politicians who cater to them. The fact is that the politicians are complete whores, who would burst into flames if they ever stepped foot into a church.


We confuse the town hall screamers with uninformed citizens. Turns out that the loudmouths are just plain old mean spirited assholes who hate anything resembling common sense.


And last but not least, we confuse the dog whistle responding Southern haters with our haters in different parts of the country....


OK. There's really no difference on that last puppy. They're all a bunch of evil, fucked up brain donors who are so stupid that they think that Taco Bell is a Mexican Phone Company.



Despite all the confusion, at least we know the real deal; we all know which side our bread is buttered on. Who hates us and who doesn't.


At least, I hope we do.

1. Speak for yourself -
hateful and counterproductive generalizations are the last refuges of the feebleminded, and a safe way for those with lazy minds to think they're really smart.

I don't involve myself in any kind of group stereotype, so you're on your own in this one. Maybe you're feeling guilty - and maybe you have good reason to - but count me out...........................................

3. So are the people who hate us just misguided or do they have a legit reason to hate us?
It's just that I see a lot of mixing and matching (as I said) of the folks whom we oppose.

6. You speak in the worst stereotypes,
and that whole OP was tripe. That's why I opted out of the "we" nonsense.

Maybe that's what YOU do, but others don't........................

2. Who's we?
In many of my posts I said how much I liked the old school republicans.
Of course, by todays standards they would be left of Obama...

4. I know what you mean but you don't really mean it
At least the part about how we don't tell the difference. You know better.

5. The GOP has fucked up....now reaping their collective efforts to dumb down America
Void of Truth, Reason, and Sanity....they carry on the fight for Dominance by deceptive BS and the Fear Card.

They will soon die out.

Evolution in Political Systems at work...the weaker Force will succumb to the Stronger....thats the Democratic Party for now...

The GOP has latched on to some very Bad Human Traits and while it worked in the past...they now lean on those traits in a changed world.

Lying, cheating, stealing, distorting, etc doesn't work so well these days....

Obama is proof of that.

The GOP is on its DeathBed....Extinction Time...the Laws of Social Evolution demand it.
