I meet you all the time. You hate Obama. You hate gay people. You hate
black people, immigrants, Muslims, labor unions, women who want the right to
make choices concerning their bodies, you hate em all. You hate being called
racist. You hate being called a bigot. Maybe if you talked about creating
jobs more than you talk about why you hate gay people we wouldn't call you
bigots. Maybe if you talked about black people without automatically
assuming they are on food stamps while demanding their birth certificates we
wouldn't call you racist. You hate socialism and social justice. You hate
regulations and taxes and spending and the Government. You hate.
You like war. You like torture. You like Jesus. I don't know how in the hell
any of that is compatible, but no one ever accused you haters of being
over-committed to ideological consistency. You like people who look like you
or at least hate most of the things that you hate. You hate everything else.
Now, I know you profess to love our country and the founding fathers (unless
you are reminded that they believed in the separation of church and state),
but I need to remind you that America is NOT what Fox News says it is.
America is a melting pot, it always has been. We are a multi-cultural
amalgamation of all kinds of people, and yet you still demonize everyone who
is not a rich, white, heterosexual christian male or his submissive and
obedient wife.
You hate liberals, moderates, hell, anyone who disagrees with Conservative
dogma as espoused by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. You hate em.
Well, here are the facts, Jack. If you hate the Government then you are
unqualified to manage it. If you hate gay people more than you love America
than you should take your own advice and get the hell out. There are several
countries that are openly hostile to gay people, but they are full of brown
people and you don't like them much either from what I understand. It looks
like you are screwed, but that's not what I am here to tell you.
Now that you have thrown everything and the kitchen sink at President Obama
and it still hasn't worked you are panicking. Obama's approval ratings are
still near 50% despite your best efforts to undermine the economy and
America's recovery at every step you can. You tried to hold the American
economy hostage to force America into default on its' debts, debts that YOU
rang up under Bush, so you could blame it on Obama and it failed. You've
used the filibuster more than any other Congress ever, going so far as to
vote against providing health care access to 9/11 first responders. You
remember 9/11, don't you, it's that thing you used to lie us into a war in
Iraq, and then when Obama killed Bin Laden and ended the war in Iraq you
told people that he hates America and wants the troops to fail. You
monsters. You hate Obama with a passion, despite the fact that he is a tax
cutting, deficit reducing war President who undermines civil rights and
delivers corporate friendly watered down reforms that benefit special
interests just like a Republican. You call him a Kenyan. You call him a
socialist. You dance with your hatred singing it proudly in the rain like it
was a 1950's musical.
Frankly, you disgust me. Your hatred nauseates me. Your bigotry offends me.
Your racism revolts me.
Dear haters, I am openly questioning your patriotism.
I think you hate gays, Obama, black people, poor people, all of us, women,
atheists and agnostics, Latinos, Muslims, Liberals, all of us, I think you
hate every one who isn't exactly like you, and I think you hate us more than
you love your country.
I think you hate gay soldiers more than you want America to win its wars.
I don't even think you want America to win wars, you just want America to
have wars, never ending wars and the war profiteering it generates. You love
that kind of spending, you love spending on faith based initiatives and
abstinence based sex education (George Carlin would have loved that one),
you love spending on subsidies for profitable oil corporations, you spend
like drunken sailors when you are in the White House, but if it is a
Democrat then suddenly you cheer when America doesn't get the Olympics
because it might make the black President look bad. But oooh you love your
country, you say, and you want it back. Well listen here skippy, it isn't
your country, you don't own it, it is our country, and America is NOT the
religiously extremist Foxbots who hate science, elitist professors and
having a vibrant and meaningful sex life with someone we love if Rick
Santorum doesn't approve of it. Rick Santorum isn't running for America's
fucking high school dance chaperone, he should probably just shut the hell
up about sex, but he can't because he has nothing else to run on.
Republicans can NOT win on the issues. They've got NOTHING. All they have is
a divide and conquer class war that pits ignorant racist and bigoted people
against the rest of us in a meaningless battle of wedge issues and the
already proven to fail George W. Bush agenda again of tax cuts for the rich,
deregulation, privatization and war profiteering and nothing else, so all
they can do is blame black people, gays the government, anybody and everyone
else for their own failings. The party of personal responsibility, my ass.
But they love multi-national corporations, just ask a gay hating and racist
religious extremist if they think Corporations are people and they will
gladly agree, but if you ask them if gay people are people they aren't so
sure.
Dear haters, you are the cruel, heartless misinformed assholes who would
sell America out to Haliburton in a heartbeat, you would rather pay ZERO
taxes than you would see a newly born baby get access to quality health
care, you cheer when we discuss denying health care to young people with
preventable diseases, and you boo when we discuss the First Ladies plan to
cut back on childhood obesity. You are a cross to carry and a flag to wrap
yourself in away from being the people who Sinclair Lewis warned us about,
but I guarantee that if Fox News told you to dress that way you would,
because you are the same blind, ignorant and closed minded dunces who drove
this country into a civil war years ago because you are bound to the notion
that some men are more equal than others. In short, the reason I proudly
wear my union army hat is because of seditious sell outs like you who
constantly fuck over working class Americans so a foreign entrepreneur like
Rupert Murdoch can get a bigger tax break. If corporations are people, they
are neither American patriots nor capable of love. Just like you.
So stop wearing your hate with pride. Stop celebrating your anti-science,
anti-math ignorance. Stop using code words to mask your bigotry like "family
values", especially when you hate my family and when you stand on the same
stage as a guy who has had three marriages or if you share a seat in the
Senate with a guy who cheated on his wife with hookers while wearing
diapers. You should be ashamed. I know that you are just doing this to
motivate your misinformed hate cult base because if they actually knew that
your ideas will make them poorer than they are now, they would never vote
for you. You are doing your best to impoverish your countrymen so rich
people can get bigger tax breaks and you can keep on delivering corporate
welfare to the special interests who have bribed you, and I am disgusted by
the way you gleefully parade your hatred with aplomb. I don't think you do
love America. At least, not as much as you hate everyone in America who
isn't exactly like you.
You should think about that, and maybe get some help.
And for the record, I do not hate you. I am embarrassed by you and nauseated
by your cruel and thoughtless behavior and your all consuming greed, but I
do not hate you. I forgive you and I hope you can change someday, but I
don't hate you. You have enough hate in you for the rest of us as it is.
