My anger always transforms into Pity and Sadness for the Right-Wing
I'm serious.


For all the anger, disgust, embarrassment, bewilderment, and for all those times I ask myself, "Why the right is lacking logic, commonsense, ethics, and moderation?"

I can't help to feel sorry for "what" the right has become.

In the 1990's, I believed them, when they said they were for "Personal Accountability", when they touted "Fiscal Conservatism", when they said they were Against "Big brother government", and all these slogans were just hollow words with no substance. We all know that these were just situational ethics, when BUSHCO came into office and 9/11 happened, the only thing they cared about in the end was the Second Amendment.

It was all a lie.

Honestly, I've always been center and to the left, but I believed them in the 1990's because they convinced me that these are things that they stood for, their convictions seemed sincere.

I really feel sorry for them, not in a "I'm better than you way", but in the way that I wish they didn't give up their dignity and ethics just to defend a president whom isn't even a conservative, Bush is an imperialist and Aristocrat.

I pity Conservatives and Republicans in our country.

You my disagree with me but Mercy is more powerful than anger.

1. Mercy may be good but
Mercy doesn't push people to action, anger does. Anger is good, because anger gets things accomplished.

2. No mercy...not yet.
There is a time for mercy and it is after they cannot take advantage of that mercy.

That time is NOT now.

I assure you that if you blink at this point, they will turn your better side against you.

Keep your guard up.

4. the propensity of the right-wingers
Edited on Sun May-09-04 11:58 PM by drthais
to spin reality into outer space
is amazing
I cannot wrap my brain
around their beliefs

of course, in my part of the country
everything hinges on abortion
it just does not go deeper than that

although, with the current events
you would think it would
I do not feel sorry for them
I feel disgusted
that they are so ill-informed
and that our country has to pay
for their ignorance

and yes, it makes me angry

5. I don't feel nearly as sorry for them...
as I do for their victims.
