It’s Okay To Hate Republicans: In our era of polarization, one party is guiltier than the other

Possibly the most clear and concise example of Liberal projection that Ive seen. Certainly within the top five.

Funny thing is, I don’t hate her. If anything I pity her. She’s clearly self-segregated herself from anyone or anything that could expose her to an opposing viewpoint. Such a sad, cloistered, existance she must lead.

It (politics of personal destruction) started long before Goldwater.

For instance, the attacks launched by the Roosevelt Administration (including through the Leftist press - see some of Dr. Seuss’ political cartoons from Punch Magazine) at Charles Linbergh over his involvement (proven wrong by hindsight) with “America First” were rooted in a big grudge FDR and Harold Ickes had over Lindbergh’s opposition years earlier to their first term scheme to nationalize the nascent air transport industry.

Here’s the cold, hard truth:

A plurality of men, if cleaned up, dressed up, groomed, etc. are at least passable.

Many modern “Westerized” women, OTOH, not so much. Especially when they look like Shrek to begin with and further f**k themselves up by becoming land whales, dressing like sloppy men and “inking & piercing” themselves up like prison fodder.

Then throw in personalities that can border on Nazi death camp guard levels of pleasantness.

And they bitch and moan about “freedom” and “their bodies, their choices”.

My answer to that is: “it’s my body and my choice. You’re a fugly sub-swine that I don’t want to listen to, look at or touch.”

Who?

"Everybody wants to get into the act."

[stephenjohnbanker]

LOL!

[GOPsterinMA]

It’s true.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I know it is.

[Fightin Whitey]

An example of what Hillary calls “empathizing with the enemy.”

[GOPsterinMA]

Sadly so.

[stephenjohnbanker]

When I was in college (early-mid 70”s),they still had pretty,
gals who liked guys.

Now most have defaced their bodies in one way or another.

Thanks!

Perhaps the sandworms in “Dune” are comparable, but at least THOSE can be rode and tamed.

“You so ugly, even the Kwisatz Haderach wouldn’t climb on you !”

[NFHale]

Dunno... I’m still not able to move past the “Land Whale” comment...

That was a coffee spitter this morning...

[GOPsterinMA]

Not bad if I say so myself. What’s unfortunate is that it’s so accurate and damning.

[NFHale]

RE Land Whale:

It also sorta reminds me of a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado, too... but with boobs...

[GOPsterinMA]

At least you’d want to be seen in a ‘75 Caddy.
