This isn't a civil war

Seriously, you got posts by the lady saying "I WANT SOMEONE WHO WILL KICK SOME REPUBLICAN ASS OMG IM SO TOUGH RAWR FUCK FUCK I CAN SAY FUCK." You have people hating Republicans and this and that.

Yes, Republicans have fucked up this country.

Yes, most of us disagree with most of the Republicans beliefs.

But guess what? The majority of Republicans want what they think are best for our country. You might not agree with their opinion on what is best, but they do want what is best. As Americans, they deserve to have their voices heard. Those cities and states that elected Republicans deserve to have their voices heard.

All this talk about kicking republican ass and not working to bring repubs and democrats together is ridiculous. We should WANT a leader who members of every party can get behind and support, either based on his or her personality or his/her beliefs.

The enemy is NOT the republicans. The enemy is the corporations. The enemy is the insurance companies. The enemy is Al Qaeda. The enemy is the problems with the economy.

It's sickening to me when I see people make personal attacks against and revel in the fact that someone like Reagan is dead. Perhaps you don't agree with his policies, but there is no reason for the pure hatred.

Hating people because they have different beliefs reeks of immaturity and ignorance. We are all Americans and we deserve a leader who will listen to everyone and reach out to everyone, not childishly exclude them.

And I'm sure someone will turn around and say "We hate them because of what they did to the country!" That's bogus. The people who fucked up the country have names - Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld among others.

But just because some Republicans are fuckups doesn't mean all should be punished. It's the same mentality that people who hate muslims have because a few muslims like to blow shit up.

Grow up people.
