The Republicans hate me.

[Drahthaardogs]

Now, I have always hated THEM, but I figured I was too WASP, too college-educated, and too Christian for them to actually single me out for their ire. They would have had to actually KNOW me and my politics to actually hate me, and I never associated with them. As such, I always figured I flew under their radar. My logic went that since they were always running around hating Mexicans, Arabs, Latin Americans, blacks, gays, lesbians, muslims, buhdists, Jews, welfare moms, anyone who speaks english as a second language, hippies, Europeans, PETA members, and people who shop at Whole Foods, they were pretty busy. That is a lot of people to hate, it must be at least sixty percent of America, and probably more. Hating that diverse a group of people takes some time and there are only so many hours in a day. I did the math and I operated for years under the assumption that this time constraint would leave me free to seethe without being outed by my obvious outward appearance or speech patterns.

Unfortunately, I made a fatalistic mistake. I work, for the Department of Defense. Even though I provide scientific and engineering support to our boys and girls fighting the good fight, I am, apparently, a drain on the economic engine of this country. Somehow, they found an extra few minutes in their hate schedule to pencil me in for a bit of good old-fashioned Republican hating!

I have learned, that once they point the finger at you, it is not nice. It does not matter if your party holds the White House and the Senate, or maybe even the White House and the whole Congress, all it takes is one crying drunk Republican Speaker with a burr up his ass and he is gonna make you fucking pay for your insolence. Man, I now understand it is not fun being on their radar screen. I have also learned that I am a leech on good tax paying Republicans who deserves nothing, that my time should be donated (i.e. the country should receive my services for free), and that somehow I am personally responsible for the economic mess in America and most of the Western World. My President seemed to agree.

Oh, and I am sorry for bankrupting the country. I really did not mean to.

8. I'm sorry they hate you, honey. As a teacher, I feel your pain.

Come sit with me. Sit with the teachers, scientists, engineers, professors, law school experts ... in short, all the people with brains and use them.

2. Republicans hate anyone who is not a white wealthy donor

Anyone who has not seen this yet is in for a rude awakening as this class warfare escalates.

3. Thank you very much for your service - from someone who was an

Army officer during Desert Storm and someone whose husband is still an Army officer.

I keep thinking with all the people R's hate and treat badly, surely they will start losing elections...won't they? I always wonder, how on earth do they win so often? Makes me think maybe there are stolen elections...dunno...

BTW welcome! I see you are sort of new here! :)

4. Then they came for me...

Yes, it sucks to be the one they come after.

5. Welcome to the underside of the political bus

we aren't even sure who is driving it anymore.

6. That's the odd thing about Republican voters

It's clear the Republicans running for office hate the people that are going to vote for them. They have zero respect for them. It is so obvious, all you can do is laugh at people that vote blind Republican.

7. Hate them back. It works for me.

It'll help keep you warm.

There's a reason why I'm a gun-owning Second Amendment Democrat - I'm the Republican's worst nightmare - an ARMED Liberal, who viciously HATES Republicans, who is only restrained from shooting them by the desire to stay out of prison, and not by any moral considerations.

9. They Hate All of Us

and they REALLY hate themselves, but are too ignorant and/or prideful to admit it.

It could be considered job security for competent mental health professionals...if there ever is a national mental health program. :rofl:

10. Most of my friends are right-wingers.

They all work on government contracts...

Also, what is this "good fight" of which you speak?
