My Fear We Are Becoming More Demented And Berserk And Divorced From Reality As A Nation Every Day.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The rhetoric gets more hateful, racist, bigoted, angry and incendiary every day. There seems to be no end to the vitriol, the vomit and the sadism of the RW. We are seemingly descending into deeper and deeper irrationality. What will we have left as a nation after the election?

1. Do we even have one now?

it's questionable, in my opinion.

[RagAss]

2. We jumped the turd a decade ago.

3. Just a few minutes ago I was just overwhelmed with exactly this feeling. What drove the nail

right into my skull today was the fact that someone can say he has "no regrets" about killing another human being, the he experiences it as "god's will." He can say this sitting calmly in a public place where all kinds of people are getting extremely well paid to facilitate his saying this. And the conversation proceeds as if it's just another day in the life, which it actually is, in the world we're in now. And the donations to his fund will spike.

I know you are talking more generally about politics, but it all seems of a piece to me. I'm sixty-eight years old and I have of course been deeply pessimistic about politics several times in that long a life. But today it came over me that we're in a new level of meaninglessness here.

4. I saw two unbelievably disgusting bumper stickers on a truck today

The first:

"Only a liberal could turn a terrorist into a victim."

The second:

"This country was founded on God (emphasis), guns, and guts."

Does this jackass not understand our founding father's true intentions? That first one still has me scratching my head.

5. It took a liberal president to turn a terrorist like Osama bin Laden into a victim...

...of acute lead poisoning, since it's obvious that the conservatives were unable to do so.

At least that's how I read it.

8. I like it!

6. Idiocy

I am never surprised by the idiocy of conservatives..

My most favorite example was a bumper sticker that said " English,if it was good enough for jesus then it's good enough for mexicans"

You can't make this crap up!!!

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry !!

[Initech]

7. Never mind of course that Jesus spoke Aramaic...

9. Ever see the movie "Perfume"? Apt metaphor for Rovian psychopathology.

10. My wife says she thinks you are largely correct. Obama is going to win and

win handsomely. Think LBJ '64 or Nixon '72.

Only question now is whether Obama's coattails will be long enough to secure the House for the Dems.

That's why I don't want Romney to drop out. A fatally weak candidate suppresses turnout (and that favors Dems in down-ballot races).

11. The epitome of obsessive delusional behavior. We are doing everything wrong and yet we insist that

we must keep doing it until eventually, somehow it does work. Pick an issue, we're dealing with it ass-backward.

[Quantess]

12. It doesn't have to be that way.

I live in Sweden and although there are many similarities to the US, it is a lot more sane here. But the American craziness makes things lively, I suppose.
