Why do they have to be such sarcastic, bitter assholes? Updated at 6:47 PM
Just after I left work this afternoon, I was greeted with a sight that made me laugh and cringe at the same time. It was one of the simplest things you could imagine – a bumper sticker. And yet, despite its simplicity, it conveyed a message so filled with bitterness, so packed with stubbornness, so unbelievably negative that it could not go unanswered:

So how’s that “hope†and “change†working out for you?
Could somebody explain to me the reasoning behind this little gem, brought to you by rightwingswag.com? Have these right-wingers already become so bitter, so hardened, so jaded that they feel the only way of making their voices heard is by mocking abstract concepts like “hope†and “change?â€
I don’t know the woman who was driving the car that had this bumper sticker carefully placed on the right side of the rear windshield, and I’m sure I never will. I’m positive it won’t be a great loss, since she decided that her crusade against the twin demons of “hope†and “change†was important enough to spend $5.99 (plus shipping) to get said bumper sticker from the aforementioned website. I simply can’t fathom actually spending money to display to the world my disapproval of “hope†and “change.â€
Incidentally, don’t spend too much time poking through the products there. The “Limbaugh/Hannity in 2012†merchandise nearly made me hurl.
Maybe I just don’t understand the mindset of the sarcastic, bitter conservative asshole these days. Do they hate change for the sake of change? Do they die a little inside every time they hear the word “hope?†Does Obama’s voice give them a sort of logic seizure, during which they can only shake and vibrate madly while cursing “hope†and “change†until their throats are raw?
I can understand being afraid of change. Conservatives had it good in this country for the last eight years – sitting fat and happy while Bush Co. drove the country into the ground, spent our nation’s reputation haphazardly, sent thousands of our bravest men and women in uniform to die thousands of miles away from their homes and their families in unjustified war, plunged us deeper and deeper into debt, made their capitalist cronies happy by loosening restrictions on all sorts of things, ignoring the warning signs that screamed that an economic crisis was imminent, allowed the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer AND sicker, and permitted terrorists to kill nearly 3000 American citizens on American soil. With all that going on, what conservative WOULDN’T be shedding bitter tears of sadness once Bush Co. was swept out of office?
Granted, Obama hasn’t fixed every problem in the country yet. He’s been in office for, what, almost eight months, and the economy still isn’t fixed, global warming still isn’t slowing down, and we still don’t have universal healthcare? Maybe those conservatives have a point – Obama DID promise to fix all those things within his first week on the job and to once again make America the land of milk and honey.
What’s that you say? Obama DIDN’T promise all those things would happen within days of taking office? Well, now I really AM confused, because the only reason that somebody could become so afraid of “change†and so bitter towards “hope†would be if they just didn’t understand anything at all! That certainly couldn’t be the case! I REFUSE to accept that explanation!
I suppose I’ll never understand the hard-core conservative mind. How could somebody lose hope and fear change in such a short amount of time? How could anybody become so bitter and cynical to the way of the world that they actually long for the status quo and the continued downward spiral we were on? Why don’t these people understand that “change†doesn’t happen over night, and that “hope†is all we can possibly have for the future?
So you know what? My “hope†is doing just fine, thank you. I can see the “change†around me, and I’m excited that I finally live in a country where the President is a thoughtful man who has decided to use his intelligence, his passion, and his heart to the best of his ability and put them towards making not only our country better, but towards making our entire WORLD better.
I just hope that people like the woman I saw today will change their minds. Failing that, I hope they will all just go away.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Yeah why can't be more like the DUmmies who for 8 years showed nothing but respect for President Bush and us and expressed disagreement politely? :lmao:
Actually I'm sarcastic and maybe an asshole but not bitter at all.

Bitter and sarcastic ?
This from the party that refers to The Tea Party dissenters as teabaggers ? So polite of you, to use a sexual label to demonize your detractors

This JTG of the PRB dork got so bent out of shape he ran back to Skin's island to write some type of delusional nonsense about what he imagines others must be like because of a bumpersticker, so I'd say that was worth the $5.99 (plus shipping) right there.

Not at all. DUmmy JTG of the PRB just posted an extremely effective advertisement for rightwingswag.com, and put it in a place where it will be viewed
by many hundreds of moles and lurkers who are their most likely customers. He was able to list the web address twice, the price, and even posted a photo. And while running his ad, he even got to add to his DUmmy street cred. I think he's far from retarded.

Incredibly stupid, yes--but not retarded.

Agreed, this is rather ridiculous, since our side of the fence threw flaming bags of poo at Bush for eight years.
Politics is dirty business on both sides of the aisle. Nobody has room to say "your side is awful but we are civilized." Politics is the first phase of war.

It was worse than flaming bags of poo; it was malicious lies that undermined US seurity just because libs can't stand the thought of a religious country rube beating-out the Goracle.
Al Qaeda cannot beat the US military. Terrorism is a POLITICAL weapon and liberals did everything in their power to affect the political side of the terrorist's equations. If not for liberals acting th way they do AQ would have no strategy.
Thanks for getting lots of people killed.

What is good for one side is pure evil on the other I guess

Not all things are equal. All the "right" (actual conservatives) has to do to make a point is tell the truth about the "left".
The "left", on the other hand - in order to fashion a point, must confuse issues, distort facts, attempt to create a false reality, and be completely dishonest in their effort to get as many people as possible to believe a complete lie.
There is a difference in political philosophies. All things are not equal.

What confuses me is their use of the term teabagging. I thought that the left would be angry at the use of the term, considering "TEABAGGING" is a liberal hobby
-
....but the question remains unanswered.
So, how's that
"hope" and "cahange"
working out for you?

IMHO, the OP is a gifted mole.

It's meant to be a one-side-of-the-fence insult. "Teabagging" is desirable and admired when they are talking about second graders doing it to each other. It becomes an insult when applied to those who don't think that way.
Think of it like if a group of liberals called a Congressional Black Caucus defector a "Blondie". Being blond is admired and desirable when talking about a Marilyn Monroe or a Madonna, but it is an insult when......

Oh dear, all that screed over a bumper sticker. :lmao: :loser:

19. If I'd seen one of those, I'd have tried to patiently explain the difference...
between Nazis and Fascists to the owner. Unlike our current crop of brownshirts, most Dems and liberals will listen to a logical argument/explanation.
The tactics may be similar (and Kkkarl borrowed heavily from the Nazi propaganda playbook), but the ideology is completely different.
Like shutting the Republicans out of the debate since April?

Take a look at your brethren at the DUmp...Kos and HuffPo Libtard...that is EXACTLY what they are saying.

Apparently the primitive was so upset that he/she/it also had to go online and do a search to find out where that lady got the sticker.
I have one for he/she/it also....

If they wish, maybe I can arrange a signed 3'x5' poster of the Obama Witch Doctor poster as well.

I'm looking up there at response no. 19, about "patiently explaining to the owner....." and I can't help but wondering how that would play out in real life if that goon came up to one of us as we were going about our errands......
Is Token our token member of the DU who finally registered? If so, welcome Token, they don't ban very quickly, if at all, here.

Some of them are, yes. Some are always blind to any wrongdoing on their own side of the fence.

Why is that? We don't circle around our douchebags like Democrats. Sanford, who I actually stated should be President one day, needs to GTFO of office.

Speaking of Sanford....he made a couple of speeches in my hometown yesterday. ....and no, I didn't attend either one. The blush is gone from that rose.
