My right wing guest at our cookout this afternoon got drunk and threatened to kill himself.
He can't take living in our very liberal city (New Haven) anymore. He has no friends (retired) and when he hangs out at a local pub everyone attacks him for his views and calls him a fascist. He is an acquaintance of my husband who likes the pub for its variety of good beers. He and this guy are both from Wisconsin and have lots in common, hence the relationship. However, my husband is as liberal as they come and this guy is, well, strange. He is a former college professor (econ) and at this point, I am not sure where he thinks he is on the political spectrum. He claims to "love" Obama even tho he didn't vote for him (he voted for Nader). He thinks Nancy Pelosi will be unseated as Speaker because she doesn't support Obama's policies and made a money bet with my husband on it. Yet every subject he brings up points to a very conservative point of view. He talks about the views of the Catholic Church almost constantly.
The guy was defensive to start with in the late afternoon when he and his wife arrived. He got steadily drunk as the afternoon and early evening went on. His embarrassed and clearly alarmed wife said they needed to leave. He then said he was going to go home and slash his wrists. He repeated the threat several times before she got him into their car and drove him away.
I think I just witnessed the complete unraveling of the mind of a Republican nutjob. I have sympathy for anyone who is just that crazy in the presence of their host at a dinner party. And I felt sorry for his wife.
You know, I tried to reason with the guy. I said maybe he was just interpreting people who challenged his views with that of hatred of him. This was in response to him characterizing himself as a "Ni**er" since he was Polish. I said to him "Well, now, really Jim, were you brought here as a slave?" Then he gave me the finger and excused it by saying that midwesterners do that all the time in a friendly way but only New Englanders take offense.
Well, we worked hard on the dinner to make it a good meal and show them a nice time. We had good, fresh and expensive foods. His wife was lovely but this guy is just impossible. I must say I found it very disturbing...

They must have all missed that part.
They seem to be focused on the mans general mental health and not his political beliefs so maybe they did notice but don't wanna mention that this guy is one their own.
Personally me thinks the whole thing is USDA grade a BS. :lmao:

Let's take a quick look at Ralph Nader's platforms from the 2008 Pres. campaign:
Adopt single payer national health insurance
Cut the huge, bloated, wasteful military budget
No to nuclear power, solar energy first
Aggressive crackdown on corporate crime and corporate welfare
Open up the Presidential debates
Adopt a carbon pollution tax
Reverse U.S. policy in the Middle East
Impeach Bush/Cheney
Repeal the Taft-Hartley anti-union law
Adopt a Wall Street securities speculation tax
Put an end to ballot access obstructionism
Work to end corporate personhood
Defend, Restore and Strengthen the Civil Justice System
Adopt the National Initiative
Yeah, that just stinks of conservatism. Stupid primitive.

Hey DUmmie, read the board that you are posting on. You can witness the complete unravellings of many leftist nutjobs.

These asshats don't even try anymore, do they? What bovine excrement!

Oh man, to think I depreciated the eyeballs to watch that bounce.

It almost seems like it was a test to see if any of the DUmmies catch on.

Adopt single payer national health insurance "single payer" my a$$. Everybody pays.
Cut the huge, bloated, wasteful military budget Yeah, defense is just overrated.
No to nuclear power, solar energy first ...cause it is so widely available and efficient.
Aggressive crackdown on corporate crime and corporate welfare Yeah, rich people are always evil.
Open up the Presidential debates ...cause they never let me (Nader) in.
Adopt a carbon pollution tax ...cause we all know carbon is eeeeevil. :whatever:
Reverse U.S. policy in the Middle East Yeah, we don't need no stinkin' Israel.
Impeach Bush/Cheney ...facts don't really matter anyway.
Repeal the Taft-Hartley anti-union law ...cause unions aren't strong enough to choke off our productivity yet.
Adopt a Wall Street securities speculation tax and reduce people's income from investments.
Put an end to ballot access obstructionism Vote early, vote often.
Work to end corporate personhood See above comment about unions.
Defend, Restore and Strengthen the Civil Justice System as opposed to complete reform and tossing out activist judges.
Adopt the National Initiative ...because if it's popular today, it must be the right thing to do.
Yeah, that just stinks of conservatism. Stupid primitive.
