"I did not stop to help a W supporter today." --demgurl at DU
DU | 09/02/2005 | demgurl

Posted on 09/02/2005 10:22:11 AM PDT by Phantom Lord

I did not stop to help a * supporter today.

I had no idea how deeply my hate for that man ran. My lack of an interaction, with a * supporter is still haunting me a couple of hours later.

I was on my home and was on the ramp getting off the highway. I saw a mini-van on the side of the road. There was a lady standing next to the van and in her arms she held her child. I can only assume her mini-van had broken down. I don't know, perhaps with so many gad stations being out of gas, she had also run out. I slowed down and started to pull over to offer her a ride. At the very last second I noticed a "W" sticker on the back of her vehicle and I sped up and drove off.

I feel really bad as a human being. That child is not responsible for their parent's belief system. They are innocent and do not deserve to be out in the heat. (It is warm but not so bad that they would even break a sweat) I try not to punish people for what they believe.

On the other hand, so many hateful thoughts went through my head. I wondered how a person could see what was going on in NO and still have one of those awful stickers on their car. How could they support an awful excuse for a human being that has let our country down and is letting Americans die after they have made it through the storm? How can someone be so blind and so stupid?

I thought that if she loves * so much, maybe he would come along and help her the same way he is rescuing all of those poor people in the weather stricken part of our country. Let's see what her hero can do for her.

I never did go back. I was so upset with that sticker and with the fact that someone would support an idiot who is so clearly running our country into the ground.

So why am I writing this? It is not to boast, I really feel bad about passing this child and not picking up their mother. Perhaps it is for a catharsis of sorts? That would be an educated guess. I suppose it is because I feel conflicted and I am writing this to try and sort through what I am feeling. There are two emotional sides, for me, on this incident and neither seems completely right or wrong to me. Even writing this, I am still not able to work through what happened. I feel like I am floating between right and wrong and am unable to grab either side.

Thanks for listening.

and I happen to have a large number of friends who are dejected Kerry voters. Unlike you, however, they have souls and are good people who would not leave someone with a child stranded on the side of the road.

This describes most of the modern day Democrats. Most Democrats are Lieberman types. These freaks are so far out in the fringe as to not even be relevant.

from DU - "New user registration is temporarily closed, please try again later."

I was going to register to express my view about the idiot attitude. But the jackasses have closed new registrations. Guess they can't handle the truth about themselves.

Liberals are driven by one thing, HATE!

That is so true. Hatred of self. Hatred of country. Hatred of their fellow man.

I agree with you.

I normally slow down and ask if they want me to call someone.

But the Dems have become so nasty that I wouldn't want to take the risk of stopping for someone with a Dem sticker. (But I would call the police, anyway).

Liberals love the idea of humanity in general, they hate individuals in particular.

It's the opposite of an unfortunately precient quote by Nietzsche. To paraphrase: "I am filled with sadness when I think of the German people: so estimable in the individual! So contemptible as a whole!"

When things get really bad they will close viewing of threads to only registered users.

Their ideas, positions, and advocacy must be hidden from the light of day.

I believe I can safely say that FR has never taken the steps that DU does to hide its contents at 'critical' times.

So why was this day different from any other day?

I registered over there once but I don't remember my username or password. It was a really long drawn out process. You had to join one of those liberal email sights and use that email address and wait for them to send you a password to get in. I never did post and have forgotten my info to the liberal email site and to DU. It was much easier to register in FR. Thank God for Rush Limbaugh who steered me to FR. I guess the folks at FR are much more trusting than DU.

Suppose she saw on the news later that the same woman was killed by some mass murder who stopped to 'help'.

She would just say that God did it to punish the woman for being a Bush supporter and as far as the kids, they were just post partum abortions.

She got what she deserved for supporting W.

She didn't need money, so you probably couldn't have helped any way.

I love the Left. They take the ideological high ground and then have the balls to boast about something like this. I hope the next time he/she needs help there's NO ONE there to come to the rescue. P.O.S.

42. The difference between us and them is when we do the wrong thing, we do feel guilty about it.

They never do.

You will find no one who despises RATS more than I but if you were to do such a thing you are as big a butt as this idiot.
