(9,463 posts)long but it didn't take long to see you're someone I can admire and your words give me confidence that I have a voice and someone appreciates what I have to say. So, thanks again

I've had to back off compared to the bush years (speaking politically) because I am worried about my mental health. You see, I very much feel burning hatred for cold, heartless, and criminal rightwingassholes and I don't like feeling hatred that strongly. And if I really despise the person I'm contacting, I'll cuss them up one end and down the other, which is rarely productive. I try to control myself as best I can but something breaks in me sometimes.
And your post above is absolutely fires me up and I'd love to see it as an OP. I haven't made and OP since I joined DU 'cause I tend to say exactly what I feel and I've seen some bad reactions towards others here who share that trait with me. So I'm nervous and scared about ever starting an OP. I've already got six people ignoring me and I have no idea what I've said to make them feel that way and people wouldn't take me as serious as they do you because they don't know me.
I really admire MHP and she's always spot and has great guests on her show. And she's spot on that we have to stay on them and let them know we're not going to stand for their crap. And I agree that we need to keep at them. We have the majority. We have the upper hand. They have nothing useful to offer and we need to call them on their bullshit in every corner of this nation, not just our own backyards.
But wow! I'm still blown away at your kind words. You made me feel like a million bucks!
