Here's the worst that the left wishes on the right, and I'm guilty of it too
"I can't wait until the Rapture takes them away."

Seriously, I've said and thought that, as have many others.

I'd say that's pretty tame, and it is actually exactly what they themselves also wish for themselves.

THAT is the left's equivalent.

1. I wouldn't feel to bad about it
Besides you don't get paid to say that kind of stuff, that's really what the issue here. People who get paid to say these horrible things, or Politicians who say these horrible things to get elected.

3. I don't feel badly about it.
Just wanted to point out the massive difference of the false equivalency.

4. Bumper sticker: Jesus, save me from your followers
Just a reaction of mine from all the hate and judgmentalism from Christians who demand that we all kneel before the fairy tale they choose to buy into.

5. But we're joking because we know there will be no
rapture. What they say, they mean. I think the worst I have said is about becoming active in our protests and disrupting business as usual with sit ins like in halls or Senator's offices, stuff like that. It could lead to violence but that sometimes happens when the police are forced to intervene. I do believe it is our civil rights to do this kind of protests. I don't condone rock throwing, or other kinds of violence.

7. But that's the fondest wish of rapture believers
Wishing it to happen quickly for them should be seen as a good thing

9. They are counting on everyone pretending that ALL of the anonymous stuff on the internet be taken at
face value.

That is soooooo dishonest and they know it, because they have paid for a lot of the shit that goes down on the internet.

10. I've used exile as the treatment I'd prefer for the Bush criminals.
All the comforts of home human civilization can provide to anyone who's been exiled to remote Antarctica.

14. Their patron saint explained their philosophy succinctly.
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"
