And here's a good example right here

I usually try to classify their statements into one of several categories:
1. Things that are outrageous declarations of complete and utter bullshit they don't even believe in, but are attempting to get others to believe in it because they feel that they draw an advantage from making others believe in outrageous things.
2. Things that are based on their innate need to hate and fear other people, because they use hate and fear to depict themselves as better and moralistic people. They simply choose other people to contradict against and base their own personal validity on how much they disagree with those people that they despise.
3. Conflicted statements that depict their unwillingness to account for facts that they're aware of, but which unfortunately cannot abide by their own distorted worldview.
4. Plain, baldfaced lies, demonstrations of utter ignorance and outright delusions.
Given my observations of these kinds of right wing statements, time and time again, I came to the conclusion a long time ago that I could never trust those motherfuckers.
Just about everything that I normally admire in other human beings, like compassion, candor, good naturedness, generosity, acceptance, self-awareness, intelligence and most of all, honesty, I simply cannot see in those people. I see their shit eating smirks, as if they think they're actually fooling people who wouldn't want to otherwise be fooled. I hear fear and anger in their voices, as they whip themselves into a frenzy of misery, hatred and despair. I see how their cling to their own animosity of others unlike themselves and their unabashed bigotry as comfort blankets.
These are people who are completely unlikeable, untrustworthy and nothing to be admired. The problem is that they feel justified to be complete assholes, as if being an asshole is a Gawd-given right to them.
All I know about them is that they never give up, these insufferable bastards. They make it really hard to be nice during the holiday season. But sometimes I find that I can't help myself and point out just how crappy they are.
Just to get it off my chest, I have to just end this with saying, all in all, fuck them. Really
Fuck 'em all. The worthless pieces of shit.
There, I'm all better now. Anyway, have a good Sunday, y'all!

But scared people can be really dangerous and you always have to remember that.

That said, I can relate to MrScorpio - how much can a person take?

I just don't engage if at all possible.

(2,450 posts)I have some family members like that, thankfully they live in another state. Not sure I could stomach it if I had to deal with them on a daily basis.
