From my site this morning (keep 'em on their toes, Renee!):

In New York City, my friend Renee got her own taste of the tangible and solid hatred that liberals feel toward conservatives in general, and the GOP in particular. She was attending a meeting for people who want to volunteer for a health expo in New York, and got treated to a sermon from a Bush-loathing, foaming at the mouth liberal.

There's a guy up front talking about Bush,etc. and I'm ignoring him because it's a meeting. Then he starts really getting animated, talking loud with very anti-white rhetoric, very anti-Western rhetoric. I hold up my hand and ask him (very nicely) when is he going to be finished and help return control to the person running the meeting. A older gentleman mentions the crisis in Ethiopia, Sudan and how he travelled extensively in Africa and was about to mention Zimbabwe and the same idiot up front goes PROFITABLE FOR WHO? Then launches into a tirade against Western Civilization,etc. The self hating white idiot sitting next to him is AGREEING WITH HIM and the black lady sitting next to me is muttering that she didn't come here to get a lecture (from the man up front). I really couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore and said in a firm voice 'You're talking about this crap, and look how you're manipulating the conversation, what the hell do you know about Africa? That guy has been there, and you haven't'.
Well I thought he was going to leap over the chairs and strangle me. I wasn't going to sit there and allow him to continue to INSULT the United States of America by saying people struggling to come here are WRONG. I wasn't going to stand for the anti-white rhetoric, and someone HAD to stand up to this man. Ordinarily I would have walked out but volunteering means I get into this very expensive expo free and would mean a lot of business opportunities for me. I wasn't about to let this leftist wacko filth deprive me of the golden opportunities by walking out of the meeting. I sat there though as he continued to insult me to his other friends up front.
Meanwhile, the older gentleman walked out of the room but not before he gave me a little wink and thumbs up.

What I don't understand is the unmitigated hatred and scorn that the left heaps upon anyone who is conservative, or supports the right.

Even my volume of hate mail is increasing in intensity and venom. I don't get it.

Know what it is, neighbor? IMO..It's the fact that after 30+ years, the liberal agenda has been proven flawed, wrong, and is not being accepted by the mainstream.

And the high and mighty "educated" liberals cannot bring themselves to admit it. They cannot face the fact that those of us in "flyover" country were right, and they were wrong.

It's mass denial.

It started when Reagan was elected, ebbed with Clinton's reign, and is now at a fever pitch because, deep down, the libs know Bush is going to win.

My "barometer" for the last year has been my co-worker. I got teamed up with a strident, radical leftist (how else would you describe someone who sports "Buck Fush" and "Impeach the traitor" bumper stickers?).

I was new on the job and didn't want to make waves (I learned long ago to try to keep my private life private). He would go on endlessly about evil Bush this, and stupid shrub that. I pretended to be apolitical and ignorant of the issues (when in reality could kick his heiny all over the map).

He was a devout Deaniac. A little bit of him died the day that Dean dropped out. Much of the boastful rhetoric evaporated. It did return however (creature of habit and all). He added American flags to his leftist automotive "shrine".

Then, about three weeks ago he went quiet. The rants quit. The stupid, inappropriate jokes at our departmental meetings ceased. Two weeks ago he went on PTO (personal time off). He was gone for two weeks. When he returned the shrine was gone, the bumper stickers removed. He is introspective, detached, remote.

I think he suffered a personal crisis (emotional breakdown). I'm no shrink, but how else would you explain it?

The needle's spinning on my "barometer" and I'm paying attention!
