to you RWers:
Fuck you.
Fuck you for your hatred, violence, and threatening postures during the time when we said that the Vietnam War was an utter atrocity and holocaust and you maintained that the world would collapse if the "dirty fucking Commies" took over. Well they did and it didn't.
Fuck you for your racism and your combating the civil rights movement which allowed tens of millions of individuals to attempt to live in the same America which you did, and a further Fuck you for your attempts to vilify their wants, needs, accomplishments, and their very progress within a system whose deck was stacked against them even today.
Fuck you for the removal of the rights of Floridians to have their votes counted properly in order that you could install a President who was impaired in many respects and a corrupt Vice President who instigated an unnecessary war that killed millions, injured many more in every respect, and destabilized a whole region of the world that was a tinderbox to begin with. For all of your hatred of Albert Gore, you pretend that the economically catastrophic eight years of the Bush Administration never existed, in the same manner in which the literature penned during the 1918 flu epidemic, rarely mentions its existence although it was the most catastrophic event in the history of the country. And a special fuck you for your hatred of all things Clinton although you were not hating your economic prosperity at the time while your portfolios went through the roof.
Fuck you, and an especial fuck you, for not promoting then-President Clinton's proposed ten cent a gallon gasoline tax which would have expressly funded public education in all states and territories. You called it inflationary and business-killing: that was when gasoline was 92 cents a gallon at the pumps. The three dollar plus price does not seem terribly bothersome to you now, does, it, you "dirty fucking" hypocrites, does it?
And for my part today lastly, Fuck you for supporting this sociopathic malignant narcissist who has the potential to destroy the very fabric of America while you revel in your tax cuts. I hope you break every bone in your bodies water-skiing behind your new yacht.
I have left out thousands of "Fuck You's". Feel free to add your own: this could be a version of the Thread that never Dies!

(13,573 posts)it has on some of the old rednecks I know. The area of Idaho and eastern Washington state I live in are extremely weed unfriendly, but they lost the fight to keep weed shops out of the nearest Washington town. The city council shot down attempts to ban the shops, but one old white wing hag wouldn't give up. There is a provision that a petition with enough signatures could have made them vote on it again, and she hoped to have enough support to keep the shops out.
This lady got shot down in flames and couldn't get anywhere near enough signatures and wrote a really bitter letter to the editor. Of course she keeps using the word drugs instead of weed or marijuana, because you know, it's no different than heroin or crack, like they want everyone to think. She even claimed to have some guy scream at her over it, saying her was going to use drugs no matter what anyone said and slammed the door in her face. Now that's an obvious lie! No stoner said that to her, nor would they. Most are perfectly happy to see the cops nail people for the dangerous stuff, we just want to be left alone to enjoy our weed, like everyone was really doing all along anyway.
The scariest thing about it all is that with it legal, not much of anything is going to change. Aside from a little more tax revenue in their county anyway. That lets us say, see, just like we've been telling you dumbfucks for 40 years or more!
We just had a little reunion bash for guys that worked for the beer distributor I was with for several years. I know a couple of us like to smoke and really wanted to roll up a couple bombers and break them out and ask if anyone wanted to join me! I resisted the temptation though. I have actually urged some of my friends to not be to obnoxious and rub it in their faces, no matter how much they deserve it. Better to enjoy it and not antagonize the assholes.

your for-profit schools, charter schools, your student loans, encouraging our kids to worship assault weapons, the impoverishment of teachers, and devaluation of the arts and humanities. Youve set the stage for a second dark age that will make the first one look like the enlightenment you fucking evil ratfuckers.

(2,578 posts)Fuck you, self-righteous wrong wingers for your many efforts to get your religious beliefs enshrined into law so you can force them onto the lives and bodies of others who believe differently than you. A huge Fuck off for trying to enslave women by taking away safe and legal abortion, and trying to take away or limit our access to birth control. A huge Fuck off for being o.k. with Viagra being paid for by health insurance but not birth control for women. A gargantuan sized Fuck you for the states who have given rapists rights over the women they have raped: the right to sue a rape victim if she aborts any conception resulting from the rape (!!!@$!); visiting rights with any child born from the rape (?!!!!!). Fuck you for opposing and killing any kind of equal pay legislation for women, ensuring that women and their kids live in abject poverty. Fuck you for opposing school meal programs, and underfunding public schools and trying to privatize all education. Fuck you Texas, for dictating that school text books have to goose step to wrong wing agendas and beliefs, especially your opposition to critical thinking! Fuck you forever for believing that your God gave you the right to destroy the l life support systems of this planet, and thinking that it is okay to rape this planet so you and the rich hateful jerks you admire so much can make a killing in profits. Obviously, I could go on all day on this topic. Guess I had better leave room for other people to post.

PatSeg
(47,397 posts)for wearing the tag "conservative" (you absolutely are not) and denigrating anything liberal or progressive as if it is the evil work of the devil.
These people are grifting chameleons who take on whatever ideology suits their needs and wants at any given time. A good balance between true conservatism and progressive liberalism helps to keep a democracy stable. Obviously, that is not what we have here. We have a minority with an agenda who wants to maintain power permanently at any cost.

And let's not forget something CRITICALLY important: We were RIGHT. We called it. Everything we warned about - was RIGHT. Every assessment we made on the issues, and stands we took - were RIGHT. The so-called "right" was - and is - anything but. WE are the ones who were right (in the truest sense of the word "right" .

CountAllVotes
(20,868 posts)You nailed it. Greed is the culprit. This old hippie has seen lots, lots of death, dying, wills, estates, testates, probates, unclaimed property, etc. This was the money of the WWII crew and what crumbs were left by the so called middle-class are pretty much spent and gone.
This leaves behind a new and wealthier 1%. This same group contains both middle-aged and very old (late 80s). The amount of wealth held by this few has managed to contaminate society as a whole.
In the end they are finding themselves tucked away in a nursing home or some such place as they live out their nest egg that funded their American Dream, a dream that needs to be rewritten and modified to include one country for one people, the American people who by an unwritten nature welcome those from everywhere as we are everywhere from what can be seen today.
It is a sad forbidden reality for those sheltered arrogant few and yeah, they can go right on ahead and go fuck themselves, not me, in the process of trying to connect the fragments of a deranged mind. No thank you. Peace.

(9,888 posts)big FU is to Ronald Reagan for firing the air traffic controllers just to prove he was the big man. I took that hard, and I have no dog in that hunt except I am a working American who up until that time (ok, I was just out of college, therefore young) expected some bottom line of fair dealing from government and, yes, industry. And don't give me that illegal strike BS. They were making reasonable requests, had a demanding job on which lives absolutely depended, and were experiencing working conditions that were not conducive to their doing their best job and did not reflect the amount of training, expertise necessary to do the job, nor the amount of responsibility they had. Wherever you are, may your jet crash every day and injure no one but you!
Not to mention the fact that it led to the gutting of the labor movement, which at some point will have to be restarted, if not from scratch, at least from a much diminished position than was gained by so many.
