52. I've had exactly the same sentiment
But applied to both sides of the aisle.

Bigots and racists just piss me off, plain and simple. Subhuman scum. I don't care which direction it goes. To me one is equally a scumbag racist if one voted for Obama because he's "African-American" as if one voted against him for the same reason. MLK, the content of your character.

Anything from the Christian right enrages me to no end. Their platform is based on forcing their ideals on us all.

PC people or right-wing spin doctors telling me how to speak is a harbinger of tyranny. 1984, control the speech to control the thought. You are truly not free if you are not free in thought.

Gun grabbers telling me I can't be trusted with guns tempts me to show them one of the reasons the Founders recognized that natural right in the Second Amendment.

Gay people telling me I'm a homophobe unless I am pro-gay. WTF happened to, again, seeing people for the content of their character? How can I possibly be pro-gay if I don't give a damn what your sexual orientation is? I'll promote your rights but not your sexuality because the latter is irrelevant.

The list goes on.

As long as any of the above are in any position of power or influence you are right. Nobody is truly free.

Apologies for the rant.
