Letter to a whiny young Democrat

I think most people would agree with you here, myself included. The people who carry these signs are not representing the Republican party, they are representing a segment of a religious affiliation.

Whooter, I'll bet you a million dollars they didn't vote democrat in the last election.

If they did vote democratic I think we could agree that their views do not reflect those of the democratic party. I think where you are getting hung up is that you feel if a small subset of society votes a certain way then they represent the views of the majority. My neighbors brother is gay and he voted Republican, but that doesnt mean that all gays are republican. Do you see what I mean?
I think you take the same extremest view with programs in that you feel your personal experience with programs represents everyone elses when this is not true. Because your program was abusive doesn't mean they all are.

heretik:
--- Quote from: "Samara" ---Plain and simple, I would vote for Elmo before I would ever vote Republican. It has nothing to do with Democrats. I just hate Republicans on their own merits. Also, I'm not really into theological fascism. I really don't see Ben Franklin hobnobbing with the current rendition of crazy assed neocons.
I also don't understand why people think America is supposed to remain the same when our population has exploded exponentially in the past 60 years. Opportunity is not as pervasive. This is the first generation that is graduating less literate than their parent's generation.
What I really hate is the whole big government vs. small government argument. It's not an all or nothing paradigm. There is place for both. But I sure as @#!*% don't trust too-big-to-fail corporations to "keep it real." Regulations and oversight are necessary.
Do Democrats even have a version of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, or Ann Coulter to name a few? These pundits don't represent sanity, or conservatism. They are all vicious little @#!*% that base every argument on bellicosity instead of reason and sense. The fact they are so admired makes me think Americans are stupid twits who 1. don't read, and 2. are either bullies or 3. so impotent they have to stand under the skirts of mean girls to feel powerful.
I would much rather hang with someone who attends tree hugging ceremonies for Adam and Steve than I would ever choose to hang around some one holding a "God hates F-gs" sign at a dead hero's funeral.

Most of the Republicans I have seen or talked with are wannabe's. They have nothing in common with their Congressmen or Senators, they definitely can not relate to the Koch Bros (please don't tell me they are "Tea Baggers or Libertarians"). The Republicans represent wealth (which in and of itself, there is nothing wrong with wealth) but when you act like John D. Rockefeller and stomp on the little guy, hold him back and make it impossible for competition to flourish, well your hurting the overall job market in this country.
The real Republicans would love if the middle class would just die off, then we could be just like every other third world country. Two classes, owners and non-owners and a hue of corruption everywhere. Oh, wait we where there 80 years ago. Remember the Hoover Dam construction Job environment. They gave you work, housing and food but never a paycheck. Republicans do not like "Unions" I bet they don't. Watch the Delta vs. Northwest debate that is going on right now. Delta has never had a union and Northwest always has had one. Delta damn near went bankrupt I don't believe Northwest ever had that problem.
I'm sorry Republicans suck the life out of everything they touch. Just watch Bill O'Reily, Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity, at the end of the show I am out of breath. I just can not believe a human being thinks as they do, I believe it is a staged act.
Trickle Down politics, shit communism is a form of economics almost exactly like Reagan's idea but you have to be able to trust the leaders (Big Business) to allow the "trickle effect".

Of course it is a staged act, one that makes them obscene amounts of money. These clowns are cashing in on the same kind of bigoted intolerance that still supplies a steady stream of "druggies" or "troubled teens" to criminals like WWASP. Only difference is the money Beck pulls in makes the TTI look sick by comparison, which is mind boggling to me.

I ve EATEN moose chili,and it aint bad,as for god,um yeah I do believe,(JUST NOT IN YOURS),GUNS fuck yeah,own all you want.Am I a republican? Fuck no. I dont vote party line, im a registered independant, I d have no real beef with obama except that here where my ass sits,he was a senator,and he did JACKSHIT,but campaign for the whitehouse.The gap between rich and poor will grow,soon there will be no middleclass,just working poor and,non working poor,and of course the rich, I call em "the other white meat". When the shit hits the fan,its gonna make the L.A. riots look like fuckin romper room.
Read the unabombers manifesto sometime, BIG assed parts of it make a great deal of sense,well the bombing part not so much,but the message is still valid as hell.Ammunition,and the ability to produce it will be BETTER than gold. Might not happen today, and I hate to say it,but this country is goin to shit, the entirety of this culture is fuct.
