Thoughts on the Pelosi Documentary, "America's Right Feeling Wrong"
First, you can find passionate political zealots on both sides of the political aisle. If Pelosi did a documentary on DU, she could easily find a fruitcake or two.

Second, in any society you will find people who are close-minded and resistant to change. You can find rednecks in France, Italy, and even the Scandinavian nations if you look for them.

Third, it struck me how self-centered these people are. Comments like "we're the real America", or "we're the people who keep this country moving". Like the people in NY or SF are just layabouts who live on welfare. Also, they may be religious, but they're not spiritual. A spiritual person cares about the well being of others not themselves. They seem to be religious only because they want to go to heaven and receive their big reward. Screw every body else.

Finally, my inner Eric Cartman kept leaping out of me. Every time I saw one of them cry, I was reminded of the "Scott Tenorman Must Die" episode of South Park, when Cartman made Scott eat his parents and started licking Scott's tears. The tears of unfathonmable sadness.

1. Somestime I think it may be jealousy
They may look at the wealth amassed on the coasts and think somehow we took what belongs to them. They are right. All I did was quit my job in Michigan, sell everything I owneed, moved to San Francisco, hustled until I found a good job and became successful. Yeah, we're so lazy. All the money I earned really belonged to them.

3. Actually, I Don't Think It's Jealousy
In fact, they think that they're superior to the coasters. Their way of life is better, moral, patriotic, and decent. They think that people on the coasts are traitors.

I found them to be very arrogant and self-centered.

2. Personally, I have no intention of watching the documentary.
I'm so tired of these fools bellyaching and boo-hooing around their own self-pitifulness. We've endured eight years of their rule, plus their congressional rule during the 90s and Reagan and all the rest of their nonsense. I've simply had enough of these people.

Obama said it best when he said, "ENOUGH."

4. I Did Enjoy Watching Them Cry When Obama Won
I wanted to lick their tears like Cartman.
