So I see this hospital administrator whom I've known for thirty years and he tells me that there's a surgical group who has this huge guy who used to be in one of the intelligence branches of the Federal government who is their administrator/hatchet man. This guy is 6'4"' and all muscle, shaved head and mean. Really mean. And nasty.
"So what?"you may ask...well this is "what": he drives a huge 4x4', black of course, with tinted windows, and on the back of the car, which he parks routinely in a minority neighborhood where the hospital is located, is a bumper sticker. Now normally, I never ever relate what is on the hate e-mails which I routinely receive, since it just promulgates it, but this is so frigging disturbed that I feel compelled to repeat it. Using large caps at the beginning of each word, it says:
One Big Assed Mistake, America
Vote Republican
People are actually terrified of this guy I have been made to understand. What always gives me pause is how many of these folk still work within the system of government close to or within the Executive Branch. I am just shaking my head continuously at the level of hate in this country. It portends poorly for our future.

(1,979 posts)many of the bumper stickers that we, as Democrats, use portraying Republicans. Look at the Bush years and now with Romney/Ryan.
I agree there is too much hate and I cringe when I see stickers like that but we are guilty of same.
(Although I have to admit when I see a pro-crazy-RW sticker I have to assume the owner is on Foxcrack and might have a concealed weapon ready to use as opposed to a lefty who will just hurl brain-numbing facts. )
