Reasons why I hate the GoP and conservatives in general

honestly I wanted to name this a "reasons why I want to take a bat to the GoP and all their teahaddist supporters, but I figured that'd get tagged faster than a new train car in a subway.

1. they make any real conversation between men and women on gender issues impossible because:
2. every chance they get they fuck over women
3. are constantly trying to make slavery legal again (but this time for EVERYBODY)
4. are oblivious as to how a fucking economy works (I have only HS econ, but even >I< know this isn't how you do it!!!)
5. are a dick to children by making even the slightest possibly offensive thing to kids illegal and wig the fuck out over 'naughty words'!
-- this one I almost exclusively blame on "soccer moms" who wig out over everything. Monty python could not be made today and thats a shame if not a crime against humanity.
6. they hate everything NOT them.
-- yes I hate them, but that's becasue they cause suffering needlessly. there's no reason for the USA to be such a shit hole.
7. They made my country a shit hole!
- After living abroad I can never respect this country again, at least not until we attain the basic social level of Albania!
8. they rape and brutalize X
- nothing really to add. put a word in place of X, and it's either literally or metaphorically true
9. They're idiots ... and PROUD OF THAT FACT!
- I know eugenics is "bad and evil"... but seriously guys, can't we at least off anyone under 100 IQ points? they're most likely GoPers anyway!

ok that's my rant.
I hate what the pathetic SCROTUM did to all of us, not least to women (who will be affected first)
I hate what they've been doing to us for years, and I hate what conservadems have been doing to empower them.
All I want in my life is to live. To work and get paid commiserate with my 15 years in IT and assorted other skills.

And I hate that they make it impossible to have a rational conversation about gender issues. Every time things 'cool down' enough to start having a rel discussion about things that need to change on both sides, some bullshit like this pops up! It's impossible to reasonably ask for concessions when real bullshit is going on.. STILL and freshly!

Men have legitimate issues with women
Women have issues with men
and BOTH have SERIOUS issues with the gender power structure that has been forced upon us for generations.

and every time this bullshit comes down from Washington happens it makes any kind of reconciliation between the genders near impossible and it saddens me. becasue as long as we're divided on personal issues, it makes it that much more difficult to concentrate and work together on the bigger issues.

We have to get rid of the assholes in washington, and everywhere else.
We have to toss every last fucking conservative, democrat or not. They are nothing but damaging to this country.
Yes we start with the tea haddists, then the republicans, then we purge that scum from our own party. only then will we finally have the ability to improve EVERYONE'S position in this country and have that heartfelt, painful, but important discussion about gender equality.

A discussion that can probably only happen after, at least legally, everyone is equal.

/rant

I hope you all had a great 4th of july.
This is the kind of thing I think about on the 4th.
Our country is no longer great. at best it's 'meh' and it shouldn't be that way.

As the scum (Conservative Democrat) of whom you speak, I feel a need to respond to your rant. In spite of my limited IQ, I will try to formulate a coherent retort.

Seriously, you make some really good points once the strong emotion is separated from the insight, but you share some common misconceptions. Very few members of the GOP today are actually Conservatives in spite of claims to the contrary.

The word Conservative (conserve) is the key to its definition. We are wary of fixing things that are not broken. Obsessive Conservatives want no change at all as long as society can limp along, just as obsessive Liberals want radical change immediately without considering the consequences. I myself and most real Conservatives I know just want things to work.

The philosophy of the GOP today, it appears to me, is Anarchy. They seem dead set on bringing down the government. If it weren't for Obama, of whom I am not a great fan, they could very well have succeeded by now; first by freeing corporations of legal restrictions (setting loose the Hounds of Hell) and second by declaring these Corporations to be human, with human rights but without human responsibility for their actions and their money, words deserving the status of freedom of speech. In effect they (with the support of the Supreme Court) have created a sort of Pagan Pantheon of Gods.

The fact that you seem to be invalidating your justified outrage and frustration by trying to fight hate (which the GOP is using quite effectively) is unfortunate. And your suggestion (that those of us with limited intelligence and a demonic image forced upon us by those using our identity and past reputation of balance and fair leadership to hide their attacks on the very foundations of our American ideals be exterminated like the inferior despicable infestation that we are in your mind) is kind of scary.

In fact it sounds a lot like today’s GOP. If you are serious, Anarchy (the society these fake Conservatives seem to be preaching) has won.

To conserve the environment, to preserve the economy and to protect the social safety net that make us civilized.

The most dangerous forces that face the citizens of this country is energy scarcity, wealth concentration, climate change, and plutocracy.

Conservatives are on the wrong side of all these issues, and are actively beating the drums about bullshit that doesn't matter at all in order to distract people from the elephants trampling the furniture.
