I have reached the point now that I do not want to even be around a republican.

I thought it was bad when Bush was still around but it is worse.

I don't know how anybody can be so stupid and full of hate.

I feel much the same way. I'm so tired and weary of the Republicans fighting anything and everything - just to be contrary. No matter what could be proposed, the very fact that it is proposed by a Democratic president means they are going to oppose it. And that's NOT what this country is supposed to be about.

To me, too, as a Christian, it is simply particularly offensive that the very people who profess so LOUDLY to being Christians are the very ones who don't care one iota about their fellow man. I mean, how very shocking to the Republicans that we, as Americans, should be interested in providing health care for every citizen. Nope, no way, the Republicans have to oppose it. Better to spend the money on two wars that it is to take care of our own.

One last really creepy, sickening, horrific sound. A sound you never want to hear for the rest of your life.

I don't know if they'll ever go away. I think some people will always want to join the party of racism, bigotry, hatred, and fear.

That twit got killed about halfway through the movie, and was (is) still dying during the credits.

That's funny, forgot all about that. It DOES describe the dying Republican party.

i can go back in time to find repubs saying the EXACT same thing about dems, when the repubs ran things.

there are few things more dangerous than underestimating an opponent and declaring them dead before they are. and trust me, they are not.

those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. don't repeat it. hubris harms. big time

big shoe and have at it. I hear you, OP.

It's headache inducing.

:(

I will give my sister credit because she is reasonable and backs down, even though she probably thinks I'm crazy. I did get her to concede that Bush would have bailed out the auto companies, too and that the idea of death panels is kind of over the top. I fear some of the others are too far gone. They forward me paranoid delusional e-mails about virtually everything Obama does. There's something frightening about how gullible they are.

If they see something on Fox they believe it.

Whatever common sense they had is gone.

Life is to short to be around people like this.

However, it seems she's no longer simply parroting what she hears from Rush or her other imaginary BFFs (since nearly everyone she knows told her her views were extremist). But she's a die-hard Beckerhead. Dog knows why, 'cause I can't stand to watch him for more than 30 seconds and, as far as I know, she hasn't had any major head traumas.

IF we succeed in getting Glenn Beck canceled, half her world will have collapsed.

As far as I know, I'll be attending the 9/12 rally with my sis - does anyone know where I can get an "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt with about fifty arrows pointing in every possible direction? With my librul belly, the effect would be 3-D and stunning.

Some of it he's just repeating from Faux or Limbaugh or the bullshit e-mail of the hour, but a lot of it is stuff he just makes up on his own, on the fly. It PISSES ME OFF!

He's acquired the mean streak that so many of them have now. It's not enough to say, "I don't agree." He has to throw some nasty little jibe in, every time. The latest was when I told him I'd watch Obama's education speech, he said "Don't forget to make room to kneel in front of the TV." I hung up on him.

We used to have great, lengthy deep political discussions, and even though we usually disagreed, it was cool, we had a good time and we both learned things. This makes me so sad I'm starting to cry as I write this. I miss my dad.

It is like the Vietman War.

That tore families apart also.

Like take everyone's guns, enslave our children, put conservatives in concentration camps, deny healthcare to republicans, and other things that will never, ever actually happen.

Sheesh. At least we objected to things bush and cheney actually did. These people are responding to their own paranoid fantasies and nightmares, not Obama.

I am dreading this wedding tomorrow, because I know I'll blow up at one of my idiot family members.

Make fun of them.

Ridicule them.

Mock them.

It's so easy! And they so, so deserve it.

:thumbsup:

but also they are disturbed I would not put anything past them.

I have chased rpukes down a street with a 12 gauge shotgun..and will do so again, but frankly it is not the 'smart thing' to do..I got tix and warrants and I did leave that city. I think the local cops have let the warrants die. Don't care actually as I will never ever go back there.

Where I live now the local law would back me up if a group of kkkers did try to burn a cross against my house again the local Christians would back me, unlike back then when the police did not back me they wrote me tickets and threatened arrest.

The loud rpukes should be put to death.... fuck with me and I will shoot. no questions, no quarter, they sure have not put the favor forth.

I guess they are too damn stupid or igernant to realise that we can have guns too.

:headbang:

C'mon, ya fuckin' spineless repuke fucks...let's see whatcha got.

:rofl:

... you need to take a deep breath and step away from politics for a second.

These people are sucking the life out of the country.

One would have to go live in a cave to get away for what is going on.

I had such high hopes when 2000 came, I was wrong.

All of the stupid answers on national polls are around 30%.

That's why it's impossible to step away, the other side is constantly in your face about things that are so stupid they are impossible to ignore and keep any sense of self respect.

Backing down from bullies never works, be around a Republican these days and you are going to have to back down from them or just leave, they will not leave things alone.

Also, just google "death of conservatism"...:evilgrin: Go on ahead....

And look up Peter Viereck, as well. He was before Buckley.

They're everywhere! It's 90% conservative in my community. I have several neighbor friends who are great people and excellent neighbors but their socio political views are cruel. As long as I don't talk politics with them everything is OK. I don't spend any time around conservative loud mouths. Working from home helps a lot in that respect. :hi:

I had a very nice republican neighbor, we didn't talk politics.


She was never like these new kinds of republicans.

completely lost their Reagan lovin' minds after 9/11! It's a waste of time to debate the neoconservative, so I don't.
We have to move on without them.

being around such people, imagine how much it must annoy them when you are around. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing to start hanging around some rethugs, really drive them insane. :evilgrin:

Couldn't help it.

you are probably right, the whole lion lying down with the lamb thing probably wouldn't work out to well. Of course, then again, you could probably space yourself within a safe, large enough perimeter where you are not too far where you wouldn't be able to jab them continuously with a meter stick or too close close where you would be able to kick them in the teeth. Just a thought. :shrug:


Meh, screw the whole damn thing, its just easier to avoid them.

Really.

I have army jump boots.

I've been sick of Pukes since the first Reagan administration when I was in my late teens.

I had to leave the country for 10 years. It helps. Now I'm back. They're still pathological assholes.

American hating asses!!! :mad:

This is what the neo-con takeover of the republican party has done to America.

I used to be able to argue with republicans (I'm quite old you see) when I was a young Democrat. Now it is not possible to even talk. No point.

Our country is very divided. I like to think of is as the neo-con led idiots and the rationals. Trouble with using political parties is that, though their are damn few decent republicans, there are more and more of the idiots in the Democratic party.

but who believes in lies and ridiculous information is like trying to argue with a drunk. Gets nowhere, pisses everyone off, can easily degenerate to screaming fights in the parking lot.

I don't want to convert them - I fucking HATE them and I want them out of MY country.

Texan Witch, I wear army boots, too.

mark

sister's family from Georgia in walking the trail to King's Mountain which is a re-enactment of
a Revolutionary War Battle. Both hubby's family and his sister's husband's family had family members
in the battle.

He doesn't want to go this year. Sister's hubby is a dittohead completely devoted to Rush Slimebaugh.
The sister's family of sons (and sometimes wives) join in at some point. They are all anti-Obama.

Hubby has usually tried to avoid politics in the interest of family time, but he is just fed up
with being around people who are so overtly against everything that is politically important to him.

It's tough.

I broke communication with my brother's wife last summer over anti-Obama e-mails. I do admit
it was a long time coming but I reached my threshold with her. Now I talk to my brother on the phone
or we e-mail, but I rarely initiate contact. I'm going to be in California (where they live)
for my 40th high school reunion and to visit some other friends for a week; I am NOT going
to visit my brother, which in the past I would have tried to do.

I'm done going out of my way to be agreeable with people who are so determined to hate what I value.

this bad. just downright in your face stupid. and we have seen a decade of stupid. still they out do even themselves in stupid, in so many different ways

i want to go after repugs, and tell them how stupid, but would take to long to point out all the stupid.

even though we vote differently. Can you imagine how the post sounds if you put in a different noun for republican? I don't like most pundits - but I know most republicans are not the cartoons we see on tv or the ones we demonize on DU.

I guess you like being lied to. Tell us here at DU, what do you like so much about moderate republicans viewpoints?

I wish I had your experience. Unfortunately 25 years living in Wheaton, IL and almost 50 years of close contact with rapid Rethug family members has shown me that there really ARE Rethugs as crazy as the "cartoons" paint them to be.

It's good to know there are some sane ones somewhere in the US, and someone knows them personally.

They are a rare breed.

I've yet to meet a Republican with the courage to speak out against the motherfucking bigots turning their party into a mob of murderers. Sorry, until I meet ONE motherfucking Republicans with an OUNCE of integrity, they aren't part of my social circle.

Until Republicans grow up and take responsibilty for their clinically insane leaders, I can't repsect a single one of them.

Ever since the election, he's really ramped up the hatred, bigotry, and McCarthy style commie fear. He will go down one day I hope. One day he said on his show "All it's going to take to kill our movement is another Timothy McVeigh." What does that tell you? He knows he's stirring up hatred, but doesn't want to appear responsible when some nut tries to do anything like harm the president.

where the media and the Republicans can't wait for the next made up crisis while real problems simply get no coverage. It's sickening.

i saw the word 'hatriot' being used and think it is just perfect! although i like townshirts, too.
