"The problem here is a totalitarian uniformity, a cult-like mentality such that even allies are enemies if they fail to follow the Exact Party Line. " - Phyllis Chesler
I've been called negative and flared as soon as I started to write about my political views on my blog. Many of these nasty comments came directly from regular readers of mine who followed me from almost the begining of my blogging last year. These nasty and judgemenatal comments came from the same people who loved me previously, sent me awards and meme's and talked to me off site and some who I even spent months and in those months hours at a time chatting and emailing with and sharing their personal issues and lending them an ear. And from this lovely bunch of "good people" "non negative people" "inclusive and politically correct people" I was sent this clip. If you go directly to the site where the clip is hosted you'll see this very inclusive and politically correct title for it : "Half-Retarded Drunk Rednecks Rail Obama"
Last time I checked, the left was screaming bloody murder if you used this word even to describe yourself in a stupid act. The last time I checked it was name calling used in this fashion. The last time I checked being retarded was a medical condition that afflicts many families that I do not think would appreciate this.
I also believe that the sender of this clip to me was trying to make a point that somehow all McCain supporters are stupid white people who are always drunk. What I found so ironic in watching this is that even these "stupid hill billy drunk white folks" knew the issues and could hold an intelligent conversation and use real facts to support their choice and feelings and opinions. Even when the woman is provoked to use the word "niggar" she corrects them. So much for trying to make her sound racist!
BTW Senator Obama’s racial background consists of the following: 50% white (mother, both sides), 43.25% Arabic (father, both sides), and 6.25% African Negro (father, one side, 1 generation removed). 12.5% is the legal threshold one must prove to claim racial status under the law. In addition, Senator Obama cannot make a sociological claim as an African American either. He was not raised as an African American, was not raised by African Americans, and was not raised in an African American neighborhood.
The Anti-McCain bigots don't care about truth or facts, so attempting to engage them in rational dialogue is almost always an exercise in futility. Their entire belief system rests on a foundation of violent bigotry against anyone who might hold a contrarian opinion that clashes with their worldview. They are truly hypocrites of the worst order. =P
I haven't voted FOR anyone in many years. It seems that I am always choosing the lesser of 2 evils. Sometimes my choice got in, sometimes not. And sometimes, I knewI was throwing mjy vote away by voting for a 3rd party candidate. But, no matter the choice, I have never worried about who was elected. I knew they would eventually move enough towards center that I didn't have to be concerned. I don't see that this year. I believe McCain is more or less centrist, while Obama is far left. I worry because he is being embraced, and the sheeple do not even question any of the obvious lies both from him and surrounding him. I believe they are looking at sound bites and not looking at the surface. They are reacting to him and ignoring it all based upon not so much his views, but their dislike of President Bush. I could turn this into a book, so I'm stopping hee. But please, I hope everyone just looks at all the fraud, and thinks about it before they vote.
My personal views are that McCain is not an extremist. Extremist scare me, because one way or the other (conservative or liberal) - it's not a good thing. A lot of people are concerned that McCain will be the "same old, same old" as what we have. I hate to tell them, no matter WHO gets into office, Americans are screwed for a while. This crisis mortgage and credit card fears are just beginning. Whoever takes office will have a butt load of trouble on their hands..
I think you gave a great report on your beliefs and I'm glad that you are sticking to them. If people want to attack, they will. But ultimately, you have the right to state what and how and why you think a way and even at that, not defend it.
But you know.... any time you bring politics (or religion) in a conversation (and especially during election year) ~ well, it's part of the games. Sorry that those who supported you were so negative once you spoke politics.
Keep on girl! You're one of the few bloggers I follow and that is BECAUSE OF your intelligent and honest posts. I'm truly distrubed by the fact that Obama is being given such a free ride by the mainstream media. Some needs to call him on his lies. As McCain mentioned last night...he(Obama) is a great speaker, but you really need to read between the lines(lies).
I'm so very sorry you have been attacked in blogland and in person in New York. This enrages me because I DO NOT impose my feelings and believes AGAINST Obama on ANYONE. I DO NOT throw my support of McCain in ANYONE'S face nor THREATEN or BOO them. Why cannot you and I expect the same civil treatment?? The attacking tactics employed by aggressive and vocal Obama supporters are NOT inclusive in nature.
I am one of those Republicans you referred to--I'm pro-choice, pro-gay marriage and moderate in many other ways. And frankly, I'M PISSED that you and I feel unsafe in discussing our views and political preferences openly.
My caution to those who are excessively and abusively promoting their believe in Obama-- be careful, you're starting to resemble the actions, tactics and closed mindedness of those you claim have OPPRESSED others throughout our nation's history. Two wrongs DO NOT make a right. NOTHING can justify the hatefulness that surrounds this election.
To all of you, Thank you for your support. Seems this very post lost me another "friend". So sad that the truth being exposed makes people hate the truth teller. So be it.

I read you comments and watched the videos. I have to say that you make a good case. I am not anti-McCain. I am certainly anti-Republican as they has systemactically managed to chip away at the fabric of the country that I served for 23 years in the military to preserve. The best example of this is Sarah Palin. Anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-environment, pro-censorship, and a perfect example of what is wrong with the Republican Party today (and I was a Republican until 1992). I will vote for Obama despite his lack of experience because no experience is better that four more years of the national nightmare we have been living through during the Bush administration. It has to stop today.
Ben, hmmm. Even though I make a good case you'll still vote with a man who has lack of experience because you want to vote against BUSH. Then you're four years too late, because the time to vote against Bush was when he was running. And let me see if I understand you correctly, you USED to be a Republican but aren't now because you label them as "Anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-environment, pro-censorship". Now I call you out for the liar you are. Because you see if you were a Republican until 1992 then you were with them during the period of time that they had a stronger base of those things and ASBOLUTELY would have held those values along with them. The Republican party has changed leaps and bounds since that time to be filled with less and less of those types of politicians and more and more inclusive ones.
But even going further on your statements basicially you are saying that although you see gang mentality clearly presented to you here on my blog by the current supporters of the democratic ticket, racism, hatred, false accusations of threats, lies lies and more lies, you'll still vote for a man who stands firm for white hatred, racial and class warfare simply to not have the same as the last eight years.
J'accuse...you've never been a Republican. I let your comments up simply to stand for what you are and do and nothing more. You didn't get over on me.
To my other readers: I commented first and then checked him out. You'll be happy to know my instincts are correct. His blog leads to a myspace page he labels as the last liberal. Ben lives in Florida and he claims his name is Ben Hussein. Need I say more! This is what we are up against.
I have to admit that I have not been as politically aware as I am now. I voted for Nixon every time he ran and wrote his name in when Reagan ran (I thought he was an idiot). I voted for George Bush the First until the 1992 Republican convention when Pat Robertson gave his speech stolen directly from Hitler.
It was then that I left the party. I was not keen on Clinton, but he did leave us a surplus and was for the right things. I not only voted against Bush both times, but actively blogged against him on by Texas Blog. I have only been exiled in Florida for five years.
Oh, yes, check out my blog. I will keep Hussein as my middle name until Barack Hussein is elected.
Lauren, I'm sorry that speaking out has lost you readers/friends. :( I encourage you to keep doing what it is that you feel is right.
About this election...I am not happy with either candidate. I'm well read and informed about both, and I feel they will both lead the way to Socialism. One is just a shorter road.

Ayn Rand
I never heard of Ayn Rand until I was 37. The educational establishment purposely hid her from me. Reading her book Atlas Shrugged and watching this clip of her I realize just how much I think like Ayn and always have. I never had that one person I could write about that I admired whenever prompted to by some school assignment. Had I known about Ayn Rand then it surely would have been her.

@NaiveAbroad My advice to single men: Marry a good woman. Shut up and do as you are told. Life will be so much easier. @NaiveAbroad Stubborn women are sometimes necessary. Men don't have to like it.
Oh it's easy to find some one to play with And almost anyone will do to fill your idle time But that very special someone, You can share all your dreams with is so hard to find
And it use to be like me to settle for the physical But these days it ain't too easy to make up my mind Cause apparently your body is just to temporarily take up my precious time
See I've got to know that That I can be free with you and You've got to show that That you're worthy of my time Can you stimulate my mind?
And I know that it looks good, But can you be a part of my life And I'm sure that it feels good But can you be a part of my life And it probably even tastes good But can you be a part of my life I've got to know
I still appreciate the beauty of a man But there's more to what I need now than what meets the eye And if beauty's only skin deep, Then your pretty skin wont send me to my highest high Oh it's been along time come for maturity And I believe that its truly what it has to be Cause as much as I admire you My sexual desire, ain't controlling me
