Why would I hate Canada? They have more freedom than we do and tax their businesses much less.
Advanced Degrees? No...there are plenty of people with advanced degrees I respect. I just don't see the point of many of them and think after you've been a student for 15 or so years, you should probably get a job and help pay for at least part of your education.
Financial Aid? I used financial aid myself. I had student loans that I paid off a few decades ago, Pell grants and a even a few scholarships from feminist writers' organizations. As long as a person pays their debts and contributes to their society (I don't mean occupy protests or launching online compassion groups) then it's just fine.
Philanthropy? On the contrary! The Koch Family Foundations contribute to some causes and organizations I care deeply about.
Have Elton John on my iPhone (he enthusiastically sang at Rush's wedding, remember...that's a reason for YOU to hate him, not me). "The Bitch is Back" is one of my ringtones.
Rachel Maddow, couples who don't want children? Don't give a rat's ass...don't think about either enough to care.
I use reusable shopping bags...they're even made from :gasp: recycled milk cartons. They're just the cutest things...picures of chickens, flowers, art deco designs.
You got me on the unions. The majority of the country agrees with me. They've outlived their usefulness and as government is supposed to serve the people and not the other way around, government employees should not be allowed to have unions. When they throw a temper tantrum and hold us hostage because they aren't earning enough or receiving enough benefits while we who pay their salaries and perks make half of what they do and have no say in the negotiations, yeah that's a problem.
Arbor Day: I'm surrounded by trees. I need to celebrate this fact?
I'll care about green energy when my government stops pouring money into companies that fail, it's proved that they're making a difference and when people in the industry stop forcing me to buy dangerous products to be "green". A lightbulb that's so toxic I have to rush my grandchildren of the the room if it breaks or literally cut out the piece of carpet it falls on and that will mostly end up in landfills where millions of light bulbs will be releasing toxins into the air I breathe, yeah I have a problem with that.
Oh for Heaven's sake, Harry Potter? Who cares?
The "CLINTON"? Are we talking "little Bill"?
Carters...don't really have a problem with them. They've done some good charity work, Jimmah served honorably in the military. He's not shown a lot of class as an ex president but no dem ever is.
Teachers...as long as the teach and don't indoctrinate. For instance, I don't think it's appropriate for my granddaughter's 3rd grade teacher to tell her her family should vote for 0bama. Politics don't belong in a 3rd grade classroom.
Children? So let me see if I understand...for the most part, conservative women are more likely to stay home with their children but they hate them? Conservatives are more likely to homeschool their children but they hate them? Conservatives have more children but they hate them?
Smart women? Come over here and mix it up with the women here. It will end like it always does...skulk away pissed off having lost whatever argument you were trying to win and running back to DU, declaring victory.
Main Street? How many more conservatives live in towns with Main Street than liberals? You guys know absolutely nothing about "main street" and small town life. What you do know you disparage.
Disabled People...two words: Wounded Warriors!
Peace? I love peace...through superior fire power. Works in our neighborhoods and the world at large.
I have nothing against NPR, I just don't think I should have to pay for someone's propaganda.
Algore's an idiot, not worth my time to think about, let alone hate.
Change...yeah because blaming Bush (the past) and pushing Marx...a philosophy that's been failing since the 19th century is SO "progressive". At least we only want to respect our Constitution and the intent of the founders...that was only a couple hundred years ago.
Barney Frank...see Algore.
Kindle? That's bordering on stupid. Gave my son one to take to Afghanistan. Have it on my computer and my iPhone...use it all the time.
Cyclists? So only liberals are cyclists? The stupid's getting stronger!
Mustard, really? Spicy mustard? Someone fell off the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Recycling...I take my bottles back to the store to get my 5 cents back. I recycle a lot of things here...reuse wood, animal waste becomes fertilizer, plastic bags from the grocery store are used for cleaning out the cat boxes, etc.
Taxes...don't mind paying what's required by the Constitution, but don't particularly care to pay for people who don't even put for the effort to be independent and and better their lives and those of their children (you know, those little people we hate). How anyone can look into the eyes of their child and NOT do everything they can to give them a better life or show them how to rise above their circumstances...how much do they love kids?
Yoga...see Algore.
France...see Algore.
Gun Control...that's ridiculous, I totally believe I should be in control of my own guns.
Animal rights? I HATE animal abuse, HATE it! I get my pets from rescue organizations ONLY. Edited to add: except my working dogs...bloodlines and ability are important. I rescue & foster waterfowl. I take supplies to a local rabbit rescue because they do such wonderful work and I just love bunnies. I've got bird feeders & squirrel feeders everywhere. The majority of my hens get to live out their lives peacefully free ranging even after their laying abilities have significantly declined. I take in cats that irresponsible (probably liberal) people throw out here in the country, feed them, clean them up and find them homes, occasionally I keep one or two for mouse control. On the other hand, I don't think my cattle dog should be able to sue me for excessive herding.
The WNBA...see Algore...didn't even know it still existed.
I think the 0bama girls are adorable! They should be left alone...even by you assholes.
Swearing in music...favorite genres: punk & death metal
Violent video games...I didn't think there were any other kind anymore. I happen to love the F.E.A.R series & left for dead.
Embassy Attacks? You mean to say you LIKE them? You like seeing our citizens killed?
I can name all the presidents...can you. Oh, and how can you hate someone if you don't know who they are?
No point going into the whole "reproductive freedom" thing until you're ready to be honest and say you're talking about abortion. If it's not a bad thing why are you so afraid of using the word?
Planned Parenthood...see above.
Living wages...your definition or mine? Low wage jobs have always been and should always be a START! You cannot walk in and be department manager of any company (including McDonalds) even if you've recently gotten a graduate degree in Queer Studies. Not even at a nonprofit that exists to promote & advocate for gay rights. One gains experience which makes one a more desirable employee which makes promotions or better jobs at different companies available. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Books...have a ton, love them all, especially my glossy art books. But mostly buy them for my Kindle now...you know, that thing I hate.
The Arts...I'm a ****ing jewelry artist you piece of shit (evidently I don't mind swearing in my everyday life either). I'd love to go to the Louvre, the Vatican and explore the ancient temples in Greece before I die. I love literature, going to the symphony and supporting my local theatre. The Met & Broadway don't need my help...my local theater on "Main Street"...that's what's important to me.
Comedy...not going to dignify with a response, except to say...one of the funniest things I've ever seen was on, of all places, The Daily Show when they did a report on the Berkeley City Counsel trying to get the Marines to leave their town, interviews with the locals & the Code Pink rally in front of their recruitment center.
Music recorded after 1956...I repeat: punk & death metal.
