Reply #36: Isn't the country's influence by the right "rearing it's ugly head"?

[wadestock]

If it's so obvious....if for instance you can ...."on average" see such a difference in people....their demeanor....their uptightness....their overall "f-you" attitude.....don't you think it's symptomatic of something that's possibly got the entire country "by the balls".

Yeah....I think it's real evident....it's:

1. Limbaughism
2. Greed
3. Selfishness
4. A general distrust
5. A general hatred

etc etc...and yes it's a combo effect with how business has gone bad and how we all have much less security today.

BTW...the country never used to be like this....but when neoconservatism, Reaganism, Limbaughism et al start to get entrenched in the culture of America....well....

I think it's at a point where it is really rearing "its ugly head".

and although tongue in cheek as a comment....I'd talk to either of your friends and have a good shot just by noting their overall demeanor.

I'm pretty good at telling an A-hole from someone that has some humanity in them.....and I've also had a lot of success working on those that were erroneously on the right wing side but came over to the left because I knew they had some general sense of humanity in them.

I've found at this point in mid life....I don't waste my time with those that enjoy being inhuman.
