I don't want my country back....

[Playinghardball]

I hate when Republicans say they want their country back. It scares me. Sounds racists as hell...

1. Ask them back to what

That's when you'll hear them stutter.

3. Ask them back to what

I did ask that,of my wifes crazy Aunt...

1st,a little background.This woman is a republican because "Daddy always was" and her Pastor tells her she should be.She is unfazed by the fact that "Daddy",a WW2 vet,was an Eisenhaur(sp) goop,and that those have been extinct for a few decades,and wouldn't recognize any of the present day oafs claiming to be GOP,anyway.

Considers herself extremely religious and rightious,often expounding on the teachings of Jesus..Love thy neighbor...Turn the other cheek...Care for the infirm...Then at the drop of a hat,go on tirades on "those people"..How terrible it is that needy folks get any help,whatever...

And of course,from her churchs verification,Obama is not just the antichrist,but a communist,socialist,Black Panther AND a Kenyan......All around bad guy....

So I asked this lunatic,once,back to what?

As best as I could make out it was some vague notion of a Father Knows Best/Leave it to Beaver/Ozzie Nelson utopia where,if "those people" even exist,they're never seen..Seems there was something about women being home,raising good families..Making pies and stuff..I really tuned out rather quickly....

What's really astonishing to me is,besides how many of these wack fucks are out there,they expect to be held in serious regard,on ANYTHING.....

2. The GOP is more racist now than it has ever been in my lifetime. It's all about "WE THE RICH".

4. Wholeheartedly agree. The blatant, arrogant racism is jaw-dropping.

5. They don't even try to hide it anymore. Excuse my language, but they can't have a nigger in the WH.

It's totally racist. I've seen a lot of SUVs and pickups with the "What part about WHITE house don't you understand?" bumper stickers. If anything could engage me in road rage again, that would be a major catalyst. I'm white, a "caucazoid" as I call myself, but I have no tolerance to racial, gender, or religious discrimination. I'm not even religious, but I do have a race and a gender. The GOP might as well change its name to the KKK. That's certainly how they are behaving.

6. Coupla weeks ago I saw a truck with several hunting-related stickers, but the one that stood out ...

"If it's brown, it's down".



I find that incredibly offensive, and I'm an old white guy.

7. I think that's a play on "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down."

Old bathroom sign. I just don't understand racism. Jesus was blonde with blue eyes and fair skin in a country where everyone is moderately dark and has black or brown hair. Nah. He didn't stick out, did he now?
