bringing facts to an emotional battle.

I know, it's disrepectful to kid, but I've been living in a Fox-bot household for a year now, and I've experienced this shit first hand and Jimmy Buffet's line comes to mind: If we couldn't laugh, we'd all go insane.

One unfortunate corollary to the hatred is how they accuse liberals of being too emotional about issues like these. Generally in a loud, uncontrolled and yes, emotional tone of voice.

One thing I know. One of the most powerful negative influences against the family-of all races-is corporatism and how it drives everybody, regardless of individual personality, into that orgy of competitiveness we rightfully call the rat race. And it is, of course, especially destructive among communities of color and any ethnic background that doesn't have the imprimature of acceptance by the overlords.

And, of course, we always get the old, "Well I didn't really do or say anything wrong, but I'm sorry if you feel bad because of it" non-apologetic apology common among the PTB.
