It doesn't matter which side the "opposition" really is.
Though as a practical matter, in the end, more often than not, often politics tends to play out that way, at ANY political level, starting out with elections like voting for the local Dog Catcher, and is driven by lies, distortions and whatever else is thought to work to achieve electoral victory by any means whatsoever, and that includes outright bribery (sweetly called "campaign contrbutions") and character assassination and other chicanery, I think this is a bit ingenuous to say that, and while it may be tongue in cheek and slightly glib, to a great extent it is correct.

I believe some famous sports coach summed things up thusly: "Winning isn't EVERYTHING, but losing isn't ANYTHING."

When enough people finally realize that voting for a third alternative isn't "wasting" your vote - but making your voice heard in expressing your displeasure with the two main choices - then, perhaps, there's a chance for shaking things up a bit.
Yep. So long as things remained biased in favor of the two big parties, not much is going to change.

It is galling to hear leftist radicals espousing that despite their statements and attempts to legislate against their rights, they do not hate or feel prejudiced against right wing nut jobs . . . adding "heck, I have lots of friends and co-workers that are RWNJ's . . . I don't hate 'em."

Hell, I'm prepared to like anybody unless they give me cause to ignore them. Hatred is simply a waste of energy by children who don't know how to manage their feelings, just like material success is like a group of balloons floating amongst the heads of children armed with pins.

Homegrown White Widow is good. But Papaver Somniferum homegrown and prepared is far, far better. Thus says a person I know.....

If you're going to insist on posting this kind of trollish/baiting crap, can you at least leave off the possessive-denoting apostrophe?

Every time this topic comes up in "New Posts" I find myself thinking, "Why would anyone write a letter -- open or otherwise -- to something that belongs to a RWNJ???"

The first step is to admit you have a problem.


btw- If you had listened to the song which those lyrics were quoted from, you may have come away with a different understanding. But that's not what haters do.
You follow up a personal attack with another personal attack and I have the hate problem?

Get a mirror, please.
