Thoughts running through my head

Have you ever been told, mostly as a child, that you should never use the word, "hate?" That if you must use something similar, you should say you "dislike them intensely" instead?

Well, there are no other words for me for at least the past 7 years, and I often find "hate" works perfectly. I never thought I could say it, but over the past 7 years, I have used it more often than I cared, because nothing else fits.

And while some might say how can you hate someone you've never met, it's obvious that GWB and DC are quite contemptible without the need for going any closer to them. Hating them from a distance keeps you safe behind the protest zone, and from people like Agent Mike.

Did you ever think, back in 2000,that you would find yourself speechless at the amount of shit the pukes would throw at you through this regime? I do remember I protested against John Ashcroft being the AG. But things got really confusing on 9-11--there were many of us who refused to get on the bandwagon, but were forced to do so, through peer pressure to be part of the club. "You're either with us or you're with the terrorists." Remember how that felt? The enemy had won at that point--we were made to silence our protests and be part of the "nation" and forfeit our own outrage as part of a united front. People got hurt when they tried to say something. You could not express yourself in any other way than to be a pawn in the political wasteland of GWB's Amerika.

Now, I want to say it out loud: GWB is a crook, a liar, a burden on society, a dumbass, a loser, a chickenhawk, a bully, and a stupid bastard. Dickhead is a liar, evil, scheming, a pimple on the ass of humanity, sneaky, conniving, useless and ignoble. The rest of the administration is filled with even more liars, criminals, dishonorable, and inhumane jerks.

And I "hate" every one of them. There I said it--I hope Agent Mike doesn't come to my door.

Though I know, for some reason, that they hate us. They've been brainwashed in many instances, to vote against their own interests, and that's sad. Rational thinking isn't their strong suit. It's far more obvious that the leaders are evil and don't care--a sign that many of them are sociopathic: they know the difference between right and wrong, but don't give a shit.

You have really touched a nerve here with me. I have a different perspective on this, but not sure I can put it into words very well.

I hear you loud and clear though.

I'm glad. I have always tried to provoke emotion in people, and I'm pleased to see it is a positive, not negative, response in someone! :)

(In regard to your response, at least!)

get me on the band wagon. Got into a fist fight over it at a bar. Had one of my relatives basically tell me I was pro child molestation because I thought this war was wrong and I hated Bill O'Rielly.

People lost their fricken minds. I had to stay true to what I knew was true. Paid a hell of a price for it. Learned a shit load of lessons about myself and my fellow man.

Would I do it again? You're damn sure straight I would. It's called being authentic or keeping it real. Did I ever fudge? A few times.

have had similar responses in families or friends. The truly interesting thing is, how many of those blowhards have changed their overall tune from earlier in this administration to the present. It's nice of most of us to welcome them instead of telling them (out loud, at least!) "I told you so."

my fellow human beings, also to forgive those who have done wrong. The problem is how can you possibly forgive those who have no remorse for their actions and have not even asked for forgiveness. Whether they believe they did anything wrong is another question, I can't see how they could not realize that what they have done, the lives they have taken, the lives they have ruined is nothing but criminal. But from their words and actions we can only surmise that they feel they need no forgiveness and believe what they have done is right. If that is the case then we must know that they are sociopaths.

and I can't think of any reason to give them any benefit of the doubt since they've proven so many times that they're not worth it.
