I don't discriminate, I hate both parties equally! I don't care if you're democrat or republican I think the moron's up on Capitol Hill just need to get their s*** together!
side note: I'm not saying I actually hate anybody in particular, or that I would discriminate against people... I just don't like what's happening right now, and I think both parties are in the wrong!0 -
:-/ Since when is wishing for government reform and being dissatisfied with the current state of affairs "having no allegiance to the U.S."? I love my country, I really do. I just wish that more people in power would act like they do, instead of wasting what little money I make on sessions that accomplish literally nothing...
I am a registered Democrat but I did not vote for Obama. I don't have anything against him personally, but I don't want to feed into the 2-party system. For this next election cycle I will be supporting a third party candidate and fighting to get them the media coverage they deserve (but are often denied). Will they win? Almost assuredly not. But people in the U.S. need to realize that the reason there are "only" two choices is because... well... they keep voting for them!!
OH! Me too, me too!
ETA: "PAAAAAAAAAAAARTTAAAAAAAAAAYYYY SSYYYYYYYYYYSSSSTEMMMMMMMMM!" boom, badaboom bada chsh. dadum Chsh. <===man it's hard to beat box on MFP.0 -
Well, lately reading DailyKos has been making my blood boil over. There's an anti-abortion terrorist who is walking free, another one who claims she's a minister so her conversations with a convicted terrorist are protected.......oh wait, you're not a terrorist if you're white and supposedly Christian in this country.......

This this this. Though, unfortunately, my Poly Sci teacher has now planted the seed of conspiracy in my brain about the Boston bombing, saying that it could possibly be a diversion attracting national attention away from the negotiations with North Korea... I'm not saying I buy into it, but the seed is there and now I can't get it to go away. :-/ lol
If any of my poly sci profs said this, I would ask for their diploma and then proceed to wipe my *kitten* with it. :laugh:
ETA smiley face. I realize how mean that came off to be. It was a joke, though. Kind of.0 -
On the day of the Newton school shootings, I asked someone I know, who is ALL ABOUT gun rights AND God, "what are your thoughts about guns in the home of mentally unstable people?" It was an honest question, and I truly wanted to open a dialogue with her.
Instead, I got "Doesn't matter what you think, the Constitution says we can own guns, and I'm pretty sure God is okay with this, too, because this country is all about Constitutional rights and Christian principles."
I pretty much lost all remaining respect for her after that.0 -

Does she have god on speed dial so she can call and ask him?0 -

I know the feeling. I was in a Govt in Film and Lit class and we had just watched Wag the Dog which, if you don't know, is about a President hiring a film crew to create a war so he could look better for the election. A week later Osama Bin Laden was killed and given an at sea burial. I was all in "conspiracy mode" until I realized how ridiculous I was being...plus, the timing was all wrong! lol0
