(25 posts)But the extremeness of the right has killed that - forever.
Just as they killed our leaders (jack, Martin, Bobby, ...) with no consequences, they have learned that they can do anything without suffering for it.
Steal pensions - no problem.
Crash the economy - no problem.
Start false wars for profit - no problem.
Subvert elections - no problem.
Send our jobs to slave-labor nations while destroying our environment for monetary gain - no problem.
Those who say that "petty politics" should not determine who you associate (or friend) with are taking the traditional American way out - never give up anything if you can help it. Ignore Uncle Joe's klan outfit hanging in the closet as long as he does not wear it to Thanksgiving dinner. Don't rock the boat, even if it is sinking beneath you.
Do not shun/fight/hate the assholes because they hurt you or make you uncomfortable.
They are our enemies because of the damage they do to our world that, unfortunately for the present, we are forced to share with them.
We owe it to society more than ourselves.
