F-ckn conservative nutcases are out of control.  The whole f-ckn world is out of control  They are bringing this country down with all their hateful rants.  Instead of trying to make things better.  What a bunch of pathetic losers.

Shortly after the recent presidential election everything political got all jumbled up into a mishmash of entropy.  I wasn't vehemently anti-bush because of 9/11, the illegal wars, the patriot act, suspension of habeas corpus, etc... and I thought many dems were on the same page (For the record I have no party affiliation.)

Now the dems are supporting the same shit because its their team that's doing it now.  Next you've got the right wing calling for impeachment, a Federal Reserve audit, restoration of state's rights, etc.   But many of them are doing it because their guy isn't in charge and some are doing it because they just can't stand having a black president.   You've also got these DHS memos labelling as "right wing extremists" people who I would have called anti-right wing just a few months ago (anti-war, gun advocates, constitutionalists).

Well entrenched definitions and labels are being scrambled or straight flipped upside down.  Everyone is so divided we can't even agree on basic facts and principals. I don't know what to make of it anymore.  This country is descending into madness.

Original Message My gf's young son just called me to tell me he wants to go home because all they do is sit around watching FOX news on every TV in the house at full blast (grandparents are hard of hearing).

They used to be really friendly, outgoing, and entertaining people. Since 9/11 all they do is watch fox and revel in the hate. GF's grandmother is afraid to leave the house, doesn't drive anymore, just sits around soaking up the hate and disinformation like a sponge. Nobody wants to go over there anymore because her grandmother constantly steers the conversation toward ignorant and hateful rants about her totally misinformed perception of the world.

Its sad.

Thoughts?
