Republicans killing America(ns)

Submitted by Sapient on September 30, 2013 - 10:19am.

On a scale of 1-10 how mad are you at the Republican party for holding us hostage, risking our credit rating, and trying to restrict us from affordable health care?  I am a 10.  It makes me sick that they are treating our fiscal health and literal health like a game.  Oh how ironic, I'm sick... I don't have health insurance!

Let the Republicans know you will not be voting for them in the future.  Here are some of their twitter feeds.

 

Vote for Democrats to save us all from the anti-American Republican party!

The US status as a

The US status as a superpower has nothing to do with why I ask you to disarm them on the way out, or do you not think the evangelists will fire them willy nilly once everyone holding them back has departed?

fuck you, america.  fuck your strip malls, the wax on your produce, your artificial-tasting food, your total lack of culture, your willful anti-intellectualism, your smug ideas of democracy that you ripped off from europe anyway, your assumption that everybody wants to live in you, your shameless exploitation of every good and pleasant thing you've ever touched, your laser-whitening techniques, the useless fucking gadgets you flood the world with, etc., et fucking cetera.

nobody needs you.  nobody ever needed you.  merle haggard said, "if you don't love it, leave it."  well, i left it, merle.  ironically, i loved it when i left it, just as the addict loves his needle.  it was only after i saw how the rest of the world is, as imperfect as it may be, that i learned how truly ugly america is.

fuck you, america.  as an american born and raised, i say fuck you.  leave us all alone.  go fucking rot in a corner.

 

 

 yeah, fuck america.  sheesh ...who would ever want to live here, anyway ?   by the way do you think slovakia could use a few million illegal immigrants ?   despite everything  you said about nobody "needing" america we've still got shit loads of people sneaking across the border and we can't deport them fast enough.

there really is an enormous difference between "need" and "want," and it's literally impossible to fully comprehend that while living even a lower-class american lifestyle.

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

It depends on who you mean  by evangelists. Dictionary-definition evangelists, no. Fundamentalists and co, yes.

“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)

lol  ohhh, i collected those beers long ago.

that post comes from years of silent, pent-up rage.  i used to defend america (the country, not its actions) to europeans, even though i didn't like the administration (it was still the bush years).  then my defenses became more halfhearted.  then i became silent for several years because i was just so disillusioned, especially after Obama turned out to be such an anticlimax (my optimism surrounding his election, however, was HEAVILY guarded--even more than my slovak wife, ironically).  now i have to say: it's not just the government that's the problem.  it is the fucking country.

Yeah, I'm kind of land locked.  I have to put up with the horse shit here so, it's really annoying.  Most of my views are looked down on as being "too cynical" or whatever.  Around here, anything besides Republican, pro-life Reagan love is seen as a threat.  Even my parents see how I think the world should be as me just being unhappy with my life and taking it out on the world.  It's hard enough being an atheist and immediately having their perception of you shift, but to explain that you think your country is circling the toilet bowl with suggestions, REAL suggestions, on how it can be fixed gets you all kinds of stink eye and alienation.  I hope to leave here in a few years if I don't lose my mind before then.

Nothing good can come of this discussion
