How many "targets of hate" can you name....
One of the things I enjoyed the most about the DNC was the broad spectrum of human representation it gave us as a country. I have maintained that the right (eg the freepers et al) must have some target to project their own demons onto in order to feel some sense of self-worth.

We have all seen it with tags like liberals, gays, ethnic groups, immigrants, protesters, poor, etc.. all the target of repug disdain for one reason or another.

Well, one of the latest posts from the FR site seems to further back my contention that they believe "if your not a white christian, there is no place for you here in America".

So read this article http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1226806/posts
then go out of your way today to smile and acknowledge someone they believe has no place in our country, our politics, or our hearts.

Thanks for your time,

MZr7

1. Absolutely. They are all WASPs
and believe everyone else has no right to be in this country. WASP means White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant.

3. They are
Not necessarily morons

They are projective,it seems the freepers have alot of projection going on in their personalities that they put on others different from themselves,they are some insecure people with a narcissistic bent to the way they think they are oblivious of..
They are elitists their core belief centers around entitlement for themselves,and really believe some people inferior (themselves of course are exempted)and deserve privilege over these "lesser" (scapegoat flavor of the month gay,poor,nonwhite,),assuming they are'chosen' bu genes,god,orientation ect..is a rationale for their core assumption of this 'birthright'of 'betterness' over others.This is a cover for a desire to look like an authority, by aping symbolic authority(whiteness wealth or status) they with our unspoken classist culture can create the illusion inside themselves they are somebody-bigger-smarter.godlier or better than you are deserving of positions on power by association.
In other words they are rigid split off,insecure bullies or control freaks more often than not.
They aren't dumb it's their personality type.
And their personality type makes them incompatible with less rigid difference accepting,cooperation valuing,unauthoritarian people who can admit they can be wrong,don't need to control others to feel in control of themselves.

Just a guess..


UP.
