Bullies
I was bullied as a kid. I fought back once and got my ass kicked. The same think happened every other time I tried to fight back. Life as a kid, sucked.
Now that I'm grown up, millions of us are being bullied by the Republcian Party. We get our asses kicked far too often, even when we ("kinda") fight back.
But thinking back to my childhood, I now know that I wasn't tenacious enough. I gave up too easily. I wasn't willing to fight it out to the death.
Now, I know that "fighting it out to the death" sounds rather dramatic. However, in light of today's politics, the Republicans are willing to fight to the death in order to lead us down their road to hell.
How willing are we to fight back? And just as importantly, how willing are our elected representatives willing to fight back? Even though we have the Senate and the Presidency, the bullies seem to win most of the fights.
There's something terribly wrong about this. Any suggestions of how to handle bullies?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002313378OK, here's the deal puss-tard:
If you consider the mere opposition to your every "gimme scheme" an instance of being "bullied" then you should be prepared to feel bullied for the rest of your days bacause I damn well have no intention of letting YOU act like a bully by regulating/mandating/dictating every facet of my life.
THAT'S bullying.
Anyone who doesn't meet your narrow-minded measure of what ought to be is called the worst names from within the safety of your little forum where your little sychophantic toadies peep-out, "Yeah! You tell 'em boss!"
Stop telling me I have to join Union X and can't attend Church Y. Stop using your dictator to do what you lack the balls to say to my face.
You simpering ass-monkeys can't even keep your talking points straight. You ridicule us for wanting to be left alone but then you say we're fascists. Guess what shitbag? Fascism depends on a large, all-powerful centralized government.
You can't claim we want to indoctrinate children when we want all people to choose their own school but you demand we subject our children to union thugs dressed up as teachers.
You can't claim we want civil rights curtailed when we want the government so small it lacks the authority and power to determine whether or not we can use birth control.
You demand we buy insurance from whatever company made the highest campaign contribution with mandated uniform coverages so there is no chance of competitive pricing.
You cry about FOX news having 1/500th of the satellite frequencies.
You weep that American oil companies control 3% of the world's reserves.
You steal so much money from us we can't plan for our own retirements then claim we vote against our own interest because we warn about the impending bankruptcy of SS.
We can't even note the historically proven and reproven failure of so-called "economic stimulus" without being called racists as if the failure of white European socialists suddenly became racial because a half-white, non-republican mock-upies the WH...as if Dennis Kiucinich would have been given a pass.
We oppose you because we see you for the liar you are. Then to cry about being "bullied" in what any rational adult would call a political policy distpute shows you to be a coward as well. And you cry inside a protected echo-chamber pretending to be a forum.
You're a liar. You're lazy. You're a coward. You're useless. If that hurts your feelings GOOD! It'll be the single most theraputic moment of your worthless goddam existence.
You want to be a real hero? Man-up or die quickly.
