as a liberal democrat, i put up with right wing assholes for years. like when you let jehovah's witnesses in your home, you'll put up with it a couple times, then, it get's tedious and enraging.
my approach was always trying to meet them halfway or reason with them or reach out to them. anything to be fair and objective. but i soon realized that they were not giving me the same courtesy. they grew harsher and more like rush every year, and it became pointless to engage them in debate.
now, i don't even waste my time. i've lost a few friends recently, but i say fuck em'. i don't dig getting screamed at by a rushpuppy, whether it's my brother, or best friend. i'm done with reasoning with people who willingly support a nazi regime.
and i'm getting in their faces now. i've gotten into some real good screaming fits with my own bornagain mother and brother. lil bro supports bush utterly, cause he's a godly man y'know. but my mother is a die hard democrat, who prays for bush and the destruction of all islam. she's funny.
but i don't suffer fools and rightwing idiots ANYMORE. i don't like getting into arguments with folks, or screaming, but every now and then, you just have to. and i'm no longer holding back. if someone wants to talk politics or religion with me, i always give them a little warning before they proceed. after they've acknowledged my warning, i let loose, and if they don't like what they hear, fuck them.
