Bless me, Father, for I have sinned...
I actually found myself thinking that if/when we do get real health care, generate more jobs here at home, in short, become the America that so many of us believed in, that I didn't want one of those small-minded, ignorant, racist pieces of shit to benefit one whit. I relish in the fantasy of them coming begging "more, sir?" and us (me) responding -- "why, you certainly can't mean you think this Kenyan Muslim who loves abortions and killing old people has helped this country..."

Off to go make a good Act of Contrition...

But Jesus, I hate the way these ugly people make me feel. They suffocate me.

3. Should those who are against animal testing be allowed to receive the benefits which come from
animal testing?

5. Hey, I'm open to compromise -
do the testing on Tea Baggers instead of animals.

4. Yeah, it's tempting to feel that way. And understandable.
It show a lot of character to back away from those feelings.

:thumbsup:

9. I desire for even the most freeperish to benefit
but I don't want them to enjoy it. I want them to suffer in the knowledge that their way leads to failure and that they would not be benefiting under a conservative administration.

And I don't feel one bit bad about hoping they are miserable when they benefit from sane governmental policies.

10. I aspire to your level of compassion (such that is is :-) --
but I'm not there yet. With every new sign I see or statement I hear, I become more and more hateful and vindictive.

11. My position is not as altruistic as it seems at first glance
If the freeps were to become self-aware and realize how ignorant & hateful they've been, they may not be able to handle it. Of course, that's assuming they're not all sociopaths, in which case they wouldn't give a fuck anyway.
