The GOP is one of the most dire threats this country has ever faced

23. My patience with them has run out.

I'm fed up. You can't have an intelligent discussion with Republicans - they are fucking stupid. Willfully so. They don't know what's going on in the world outside of Fox News and "Family" radio. There is such a disconnect with them that it is nearly impossible to bridge. For instance, I know of many conservatives who detest assistance programs and want to do away with them, but when they need help or hit a rough patch, they are the first to stand in line for their share. I have a co-worker who hates unions and any program that helps human beings. She'll say she hates unions, but in the next sentence tells me her husband works with one of the best companies in the world - because they have a great union. I just can't with these people anymore. They make my head and heart hurt. To know there are human beings walking amongst us who would rather see a child die of cancer or starve instead of parting with 50 fucking cents out of their paychecks is infuriating. But they don't have a problem with most of their tax dollars going towards trumped-up wars or weapons or corporate welfare - things are more important to them than people. They are vampires - sucking the life and everything good out of this country. This is the kind of evil that fueled some of the bloodiest and most barbaric times in our history. People not giving a fuck about anyone but themselves. There are 7 billion people on this planet, and I'm sorry, we're all in this together, and the, "ME, ME, ME" bullshit is unacceptable. Today's conservatism is deplorable and I completely agree that they are the most destructive entity in this nation's history.
