I just got back from a trout fishing trip with some friends. Somehow Kerry came up, and I mentioned the fact that the War Remnants Museum in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City has a photograph of John Kerry honoring him as a NORTH Vietnam war hero, and that this made Mr. Kerry a traitor to his country.
A friend of a friend who was fishing with us WENT OUT OF HIS MIND. He said it was a lie, and the the Bushes were this and that and the other thing. I offered to give him my copy of "Unfit for Command" and he said there was nothing but lies in it, even though he has never seen it.
It was pretty incredible. There are some deeply disturbed Liberals out there right now, and like all people who wear "peace" on their sleeves like "the religion of peace," I fear violence when John Kerry suffers a humiliating defeat this November.
If it's not close, they can't cheat, but I am betting that soon you won't be able to tell the difference between a Liberal and an Islamofascist.
Sorry for the vanity, but this encounter really bothered me.
When they're hemmed in by facts dims act kinda like Hitler in his bunker in April 1945, feverishly issuing orders to imaginary armies while the Russians are banging at the gates.
Hey, I'm way ahead of you. I have not gone to a movie in over 3 years. Don't use Ketchup, or anything with a Heinz label on it. Quit buying Ford because they donate to Radicals.
Belive me, I've educated myself, andwill not WILLING buy their products.
He must be one of those "moralityphobic"..
Yeah, but don't they have medications for those types of disorder..'The Kerryidus Lieamus Syndrome'
Yeah, I've been a Ford guy for like ever [driving a beat-up old F-150 as we speak], but Bill Ford Jr.'s decision to cancel the Excursion to please the enviro-pagans was just about enough to push me over the edge [it's far and away their most profitable vehicle].
I know where your aunt is coming from...i come from the same place...911 changed my world forever. I will never forget.
I agree with you. I think gays would be the first to understand "unjustified" hate.
My mother isn't telling him she's voting for Bush! A closet Republican!
Oh well, Mom's gotta deal with everyone in a big family. At least she continues to have common sense.

I've discarded generations of my families southern democratic heritage. It took me a year and a half to come to the conclusion to do it, but i did. For that year and a half all i heard from my party was unbridled hatred..hatred, for a sitting President. We were moderate democrats, my husband and I, but we were no longer welcomed in the democratic party...we weren't left-leaning enough for them. They threw us out, into the waiting arms of the republicans. Our politics and theirs were no longer compatable. It's as though we were awakened from a 32 year dream and started thinking for ourselves, instead of the party telling us what to think and how to vote. The last straw was when Ted Kennedy said that the Iraq war was devised at the Presidents Crawford ranch, Kennedy speaks for Kerry. They are both of the same mind-set. When they both refused to apologise for the comment, the line was severed between me and the democratic party. You must remember one thing about Democrats..DEFLECT..that is what keeps them alive. Their ability to deflect the issue till it passes.
No, you didn't. The big difference is that people who despised Clinton hated him for the things he had done. Most people that despise Bush do so either for purely emotional reasons or because of "things he's done" that have never actually taken place. (Increasingly, they're turning to falsely accusing Bush of "what he will do," such as "reinstate the draft.")
Another difference is the level of animosity. I don't know many people whose dislike of Clinton was one of the definitions of their very being. Many Bush haters make their hatred of him an integral part of their day-to-day existence. For example, during the Clinton Administration, how many anti-Clinton public protests were held? Only a few, and almost all of them were during Impeachment. The nuts on the left have held dozens, maybe hundreds, of anti-Bush protests over the last four years.
If you are a lib, you have to pretend hate Bush. Because if you don't, you have to vote for him. He is doing all the things they pretend they want. It's about the power man. (Hey, I remember when hate was a crime that the libs invented.)
Welcome to Free Republic
No, I don't know her. Today is the first time i've seen her name. If I were an eloquent speaker with the gift for gab, I would be saying what Zell Miller did at the Republican Convention, he said what i couldn't put into words. There are only two ways to turn that I can see. One is to let the terrorist have my country and wear a burka. Those vote for Kerry. The other way is kill them before they can kill me. Those vote for Bush...I will vote for Bush. 911 lives with me. I saw the second plane hit live when they were showing the first tower smoking. I will never forget.
I was at a dinner party last weekend, when the subject of immigration came up [we've got elementary schools around here that are close to 100% Mexican and the children are not learning any English]. During the course of the conversation, a tenured professor [whom I knew to come from a long line of yellow-dog democrats], with a named chair, at a fairly prestigious university, admitted that he voted for Jesse Helms.
I do sense that there is a segment of the population that might once have been described as "moderates" [or whatever], but that is just getting fed up with all this leftist/socialist/marxist/multiculturalist/politically correct bullshit.
I think you may be seeing the same sort of thing in guys like Christopher Hitchens.
Ah, yes! A rope, a tree, a liberal. Some assembly required.
I am as worried as you are.
And I will never forget. Zell Miller's speech was awesome. Bush/Cheney '04
Have a good evening, pbrown :-)
Nothing new with me. I work on a college campus and 95% of the people I have to deal with on a day to day basis are hissing, spitting libs. I could spend most of my time in arguements (which I did for about 6 years) and get absolutely nothing done.
Pretty soon they'll be spitting on our Troops, etc. etc. But they won't get away with it this time.
I have been saying that exact same thing to myself all day.
The Hippies are dead men walking, they just don't know it yet.
