Tigress DEM
(7,887 posts)Of course rethugs see themselves as the victims even though their $$$$ are purchasing the means of oppression and we DEMs won't accept victimhood without a fight.
rethugs have been hanging Obama in effigy since before he was elected.
Police are violating our rights to reasonable assembly and against unreasonable search and seizure. They are racially profiling and beating blacks and others for no valid reasons.
Kids are killing their families or walking into schools and shooting random people to vent their rage because their teachers and families are working hard to even retain the right to educate our children and it takes more than one income to keep families off the street.
People are shooting elected officials and anyone in their path based on Palin's advise to never retreat, only reload.
HOW DID WE GET HERE? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
You are upset that we are uncivil?
WHENEVER ANY AMERICAN'S LIBERTIES ARE IMPERILED - SO ARE MINE. Can you see the peril of our civil liberties under Robme, Mr More Money for the 1% and to Hell with the rest of you?
You call it uncivil to say that someone lies, I call it honesty and HIGH TIME FOR IT.
BUT....
BUT....
IT'S ALSO a path we can't fully trod. It's one thing to call the liars out and confront them and make sure they DON'T get elected. But it's another thing to get so fully frenzied that we want to slash and burn our oppressors, even if it only is on the verbal or fictional level. Because once fully on that path, we lose site of the REAL GOALS.
WE NEED TO FOCUS MORE ON OUR TRUE DEMOCRATIC GOALS and what we BELIEVE AMERICA CAN BE AGAIN, rather than on the disaster it has become. WE have to FIGHT HARDER and MORE PEACEABLY THAN EVER BEFORE to achieve our real goals.
