Reply #86: You want to know what's really not being addressed?

[Downtown Hound]

The fact that we have a mother fucking right to be angry. I'm sick and tired of always being told I have to be a fucking saint in the face of vile, putrid, murderous evil. If you want to respond to this with a great big group hug, be my guest. But don't presume you have the right to tell me how to act. My anger has given me power during the course of these insane and murderous years of the right wing's leadership. I honor my anger. I honor my hate. In fact, I'm grateful to them both, because they have kept me sane. Don't think I don't hear you if you say you want to respond to hatred with love. I do hear you, and that's your choice, and I respect that. What pisses me off is when people like you develop this air of moral superiority over those of us that don't. My feelings are just as valid as yours, so do me a big favor and spare me the big "let's get together and try and love one another right now" speech, okay?

I don't want to love these people. I will never want to love these people. And that is my right. Respect that, and I will respect your right to love them as you choose, in spite of the fact that they are the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.
