"I Want My Country Back:" What they really mean

[K8-EEE]

Perfect example of what kind of America they want back, in this Freeper thread regarding the ruling for student Constance McMillan, the lesbian who was banned from her prom:

'Makes me long for the days when I was in high school. Back when even the hint of being a homosexual would lead to being immediately ostracized from teenage society and having nasty messages written on your locker. Such rumors were the kiss of death for a teen’s social life.

Yeah, there were kids who came out later, but that was only after the moved to New York City and worked in the theater district.

The only thing worse would have been being fat, wearing glasses & being called a queer. The fatal trifecta.

And no one got cash for having their poor, little feelings hurt!!"

Yep, that's what they want back! Unfettered bigotry towards gays and EVERYBODY not like themselves.

Unfortunately for many teens, this is still the reality today. So we better FIGHT LIKE HELL to support people like Constance!

1. Unfortunately for many teens - and younger - fuckers like this are deadly

How many kids have been driven to suicide by bullying? How many have been kileld by the bullies? How many have lost it and tried to exact revenge?

I've lost count.

14. Yes and they they say "Homosexuality causes suicide!"

Argg.....

2. Rec...Oh, the humanity - Bigots long for the days when their irrational hate was

"acceptable".
I am certain high school was the high point for many of them, even if they did not graduate...

9. You ever run into a high school jock who is still wearing his school jacket 20 years later?

13. ...except it doesn't quite fit over his belly anymore....

This is one reason I never went to any reunions.

3. Wearing glasses??? what in the world is in these peoples minds?

But with these types of beliefs they had to have been encouraged at home and raised that way.

4. That is what the Deaniacs would say about George Bush stealing the election.

And ruining this country. It goes both ways.

5. They want the Constitution as written orignially back

With legal slavery and blacks = 3/5 of a person.

7. And women couldn't vote

Voting was pretty much restricted to white, male landowners.

8. Jesus. H. Christ... Many taunters/bullies grow up and become fairly decent people, but

the ones who never grow out of it become Republicans. Free Republic is proof.

10. I was picked on for wearing glasses

I wore a size 12 in 7th grade and was called fat so I dealt with bulimia for 25 yrs I have physical ailments from it. Bullying is deadly and has longterm effect I grew up in a the red part of Ohio but back then families who were poor were democrats now sadly their kids are mostly republican. I am facebook friends with some of my tormentors and I forgive them all we were kids. I notice though most of them are anti anything Obama and they are racists there was not one brown skinned kid in our school

15. You sound like a very forgiving person

I find it really hard to be nice to people who were snotty in high school!

11. The Freeper is implying that even if they percieve you as gay for any reason

Like if you're not into sports for any reason...they have the right to ruin your life.

What he's supporting is criminal action against innocents. By the vary least, supporting property damage.
