Nice try, but if the hate wasn't in you we couldn't have brought it out. Don't put your flaws on us. Show some individual responsibility and be responsible for your own acts! By the way, I do HATE every bigot out there and as long as scum like that exist, that will be the case.

I believe that blacks, women, republicans, democrats, etc are not good enough subjects to use as examples of anything. All have their flaws and all have their goodness. We, ALL OF US, need to find words that do not point to general populations. I try to do that, though I have been remiss on more than one occasion. I am re-thinking a lot of what I say, NOT what I believe, but how I try to put it across.
Blacks: I grew up with blacks in the cotton patches of central Texas. All of us were poor. Each of us trusted everyone else in the group as much as any person can possibly trust another......that tells me that integrity reigned amongst all......the head honcho, the poor white workers, the black workers. We all shared the same water dipper and thought nothing of it. I am definitely NOT racist, but have nothing good to say about those who are trying to start race wars......it is harmful to America.
Women: I am a woman, who was married to one man for 42 years until his death. I worked hard for lousy pay as an RN. I have never been jealous of those with money, of those who didn't HAVE to work, those with fame. However, the women's movement makes me nauseous. I found it despicable in the '60's when it was beginning its long run of destruction.....at that time I was in my 20's-30's.
Republicans: I was a worthwhile republican for over 50 years , but finally accepted the fact that it did not represent my values much better than any other party. I call them useless wimps who refuse to fight for decent policies. I quit it and joined the Libertarian Party, primarily because it talks individual freedoms more than others I am aware of. I find that it, too, is degrading itself so don't know where I may turn next. I will not stick with any party that robs from the producers to feed and house the lazy.
Democrats: I never had a problem with them until they drove off all the liberals and finally became the Socialist Party in effect. I now have many problems with them as they fight dirty, they lie when the truth would serve them better...............I call them sociopaths because that is what I believe every one of them is. People who support bad policy, crime, etc ARE NO ASSET TO AMERICA. If I find a reasonable democrat, I will not call him a sociopath - because he isn't one. But he is RARE.
PS. I hate every bigot out there, and there are MANY, and most are not conservatives.
