Some degree of hate has always been there in the political realm…..but in the last few years it has ticked up to the point that it is NO longer amusing. Surely you have seen it also….you know libs are brain dead……conservs are retards…….so on and so forth….yada….yada…..
I remember back during the days of George 1….then Clinton and on to GW……everyone one of them was setting the country on a course of ruin……but I did not hate them….I did question their sanity at times over the policies they pursued……but from me there was NO hate.
Back in those days I was writing endlessly to the Letters to the Editor….so many in fact that they tried to limit my letters to 2 a month…..so being a devious little turd…..I started written under several pen names to get my views out there…..even in those days right wingers hated…..they would insult, as usual, but seldom had any ideas what they were writing about…….then I found blogging……and dammit I found a whole new dimension of hate……and as usual insults with NO actual debate just flinging insults……as far as I am concerned insults and hatred are NOT an argument……just illustrates the little intelligence the person actually is grasping……
I seems that hatred is becoming the norm instead of the exception……..
(Newser) – Had it up to here with the president and both parties on the Hill? You’re a “hater,” according to a new poll, and odds are, if there were an election today, you’d vote for a Republican in your House district. Some 72% of haters would choose a GOP rep today, the Washington Post-ABC News poll finds. The proportion who’d go Democrat? Only 14%, the Post reports. Some 34% of haters are Republicans, while 38% are independents with Republican leanings. Some 71% are against ObamaCare. And they’re a powerful group, covering a third of voters, up from 28% in 2010. In short, per Sean Sullivan and Scott Clement: Even if Republicans haven’t had the best year, “these voters will come home in the end.”
Okay let’s talk bout the hatred for the prez, shall we?
Surely one has heard all the moronic ramblings of hatred……Obama is a socialist (this shows a serious lack of intelligence)…..the prez is gay or a Muslim or born in Kenya….even regurgitation that is is a dictator……these are all bullshit reasons….you know it and I know it….people use these because they are afraid to spout the real reason it could cost them in votes or cash or celeb status…..but there was one person that spoke the truth…….
There are probably all kinds of great responses a teacher can make to a student who says he wants to grow up to be president. “We don’t need another black president” would not be among them. A white teacher in Fairfield, Ohio, has been suspended without pay and faces dismissal after doing just that, reports the Journal-News. The local board of education took action after four students who overheard the conversation backed up the allegations against veteran freshman teacher Gil Voigt. The board took their word over Voigt’s, who said he got misquoted, reports the Cincinnati Inquirer. He can still appeal the ruling. “He was talking to some students and said some things that were racially insensitive,” says the school superintendent. “We just felt this teacher had crossed the line.” It probably didn’t help Voigt’s case that he had been disciplined in 2008 for making an “inappropriate racial comment.”
This guy is a twat….but at least he is honest on the reason for his hatred of Obama……very few are that honest…….maybe if they were we would take them a little seriously………
The single economic tool the GOP can use has been proven to be a failure – trickle down economics. They are so attached at the hip with the religious right and monied interests that any effort to disassociate themselves from either will likely result in a primary defeat. So the only workable political strategy they have left is to characterize their opponents as demons.
Larry, read a good piece about the GOP…I will post on it later today….chuq
Thank you…..chuq
