I meet you all the time. You hate Obama. You hate gay people. You hate
black people, immigrants, Muslims, labor unions, women who want the right to
make choices concerning their bodies, you hate em all. You hate being called
racist. You hate being called a bigot. Maybe if you talked about creating jobs
more than you talk about why you hate gay people we wouldn't call you bigots.
Maybe if you talked about black people without automatically assuming they are
on food stamps while demanding their birth certificates we wouldn't call you
racist. You hate socialism and social justice. You hate regulations and taxes
and spending and the Government. You hate.
You
like war. You like torture. You like Jesus. I don't know how in the hell any of
that is compatible, but no one ever accused you haters of being over-committed
to ideological consistency. You like people who look like you or at least hate
most of the things that you hate. You hate everything else.
Now, I
know you profess to love our country and the founding fathers (unless you are
reminded that they believed in the separation of church and state), but I need
to remind you that America is NOT what Fox News says it is. America is a
melting pot, it always has been. We are a multi-cultural amalgamation of all
kinds of people, and yet you still demonize everyone who is not a rich, white,
heterosexual christian male or his submissive and obedient wife.
You
hate liberals, moderates, hell, anyone who disagrees with Conservative dogma as
espoused by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. You hate em.
Well,
here are the facts, Jack. If you hate the Government then you are unqualified
to manage it. If you hate gay people more than you love America than you should
take your own advice and get the hell out. There are several countries that are
openly hostile to gay people, but they are full of brown people and you don't
like them much either from what I understand. It looks like you are screwed,
but that's not what I am here to tell you.
More
rant below the fold . . .
Now
that you have thrown everything and the kitchen sink at President Obama and it
still hasn't worked you are panicking. Obama's approval ratings are still near
50% despite your best efforts to undermine the economy and America's recovery
at every step you can. You tried to hold the American economy hostage to force
America into default on its' debts, debts that YOU rang up under Bush, so you
could blame it on Obama and it failed. You've used the filibuster more than any
other Congress ever, going so far as to vote against providing health care
access to 9/11 first responders. You remember 9/11, don't you, it's that thing
you used to lie us into a war in Iraq, and then when Obama killed Bin Laden and
ended the war in Iraq you told people that he hates America and wants the
troops to fail. You monsters. You hate Obama with a passion, despite the fact
that he is a tax cutting, deficit reducing war President who undermines civil
rights and delivers corporate friendly watered down reforms that benefit
special interests just like a Republican. You call him a Kenyan. You call him a
socialist. You dance with your hatred singing it proudly in the rain like it
was a 1950's musical.
Frankly,
you disgust me. Your hatred nauseates me. Your bigotry offends me. Your racism
revolts me.
Dear
haters, I am openly questioning your patriotism.
I think
you hate gays, Obama, black people, poor people, all of us, women, atheists and
agnostics, Latinos, Muslims, Liberals, all of us, I think you hate every one
who isn't exactly like you, and I think you hate us more than you love your
country.
I think
you hate gay soldiers more than you want America to win its wars.
I don't even think you want America to win wars, you just want
America to have wars, never ending wars and the war profiteering it generates.
You love that kind of spending, you love spending on faith based initiatives
and abstinence based sex education (George Carlin would have loved that one),
you love spending on subsidies for profitable oil corporations, you spend like
drunken sailors when you are in the White House, but if it is a Democrat then
suddenly you cheer when America doesn't get the Olympics because it might make
the black President look bad. But oooh you love your country, you say, and you
want it back. Well listen here skippy, it isn't your country,
you don't own it, it is our country, and America is NOT the religiously
extremist Foxbots who hate science, elitist professors and having a vibrant and
meaningful sex life with someone we love if Rick Santorum doesn't approve of
it. Rick Santorum isn't running for America's fucking high school dance
chaperone, he should probably just shut the hell up about sex, but he can't
because he has nothing else to run on.
Republicans
can NOT win on the issues. They've got NOTHING. All they have is a divide and
conquer class war that pits ignorant racist and bigoted people against the rest
of us in a meaningless battle of wedge issues and the already proven to fail
George W. Bush agenda again of tax cuts for the rich, deregulation,
privatization and war profiteering and nothing else, so all they can do is
blame black people, gays the government, anybody and everyone else for their
own failings. The party of personal responsibility, my ass.
But they love multi-national corporations, just
ask a gay hating and racist religious extremist if they think Corporations are
people and they will gladly agree, but if you ask them if gay people are people
they aren't so sure.
Dear
haters, you are the cruel, heartless misinformed assholes who would sell
America out to Haliburton in a heartbeat, you would rather pay ZERO taxes than
you would see a newly born baby get access to quality health care, you cheer
when we discuss denying health care to young people with preventable diseases,
and you boo when we discuss the First Ladies plan to cut back on childhood obesity.
You are a cross to carry and a flag to wrap yourself in away from being the
people who Sinclair Lewis warned us about, but I guarantee that if Fox News
told you to dress that way you would, because you are the same blind, ignorant
and closed minded dunces who drove this country into a civil war years ago
because you are bound to the notion that some men are more equal than others.
In short, the reason I proudly wear my union army hat is because of seditious
sell outs like you who constantly fuck over working class Americans so a
foreign entrepreneur like Rupert Murdoch can get a bigger tax break. If
corporations are people, they are neither American patriots nor capable of
love. Just like you.
So stop
wearing your hate with pride. Stop celebrating your anti-science, anti-math
ignorance. Stop using code words to mask your bigotry like "family
values", especially when you hate my family and when you stand on the same
stage as a guy who has had three marriages or if you share a seat in the Senate
with a guy who cheated on his wife with hookers while wearing diapers. You
should be ashamed. I know that you are just doing this to motivate your
misinformed hate cult base because if they actually knew that your ideas will
make them poorer than they are now, they would never vote for you. You are
doing your best to impoverish your countrymen so rich people can get bigger tax
breaks and you can keep on delivering corporate welfare to the special
interests who have bribed you, and I am disgusted by the way you gleefully
parade your hatred with aplomb. I don't think you do love America. At least,
not as much as you hate everyone in America who isn't exactly like you.
You
should think about that, and maybe get some help.
And for
the record, I do not hate you. I am embarrassed by you and nauseated by your
cruel and thoughtless behavior and your all consuming greed, but I do not hate
you. I forgive you and I hope you can change someday, but I don't hate you. You
have enough hate in you for the rest of us as it is.
