This right vs. left crap is really getting to me. It makes me want to pull my hair out.

I know some can understand what I'm saying. You feel it too, right? The aggravation?

I'm having a really hard time understanding the mentality of people I used to identify with. Liberals.

When Bush was prez we were called lunatics, told that if we don't like America we should move to another country, Bush is the president now-get over it, etc.

Now liberals are saying these same exact things to conservatives and even other liberals who don't get with THEIR program.

This same thing goes for conservatives, too. They said liberal protesters during the Bush era were making America weak, that we had to support our president no matter if we like him or not--that's the American thing to do.

Now, if conservatives call someone a nazi or Marxist if someone says the same things to them.

I just don't get it.

It just seems like more of a right vs. left thing. You know? I just refuse to believe that people are that stupid.

Bush era:

Liberals--protested wars
conservatives--called liberals terrorist sympathizers for it

Liberals--questioned Bush's military service
Conservatives--fired Dan Rather for reporting it

Liberals--worried about the PATRIOT Act
Conservatives--it's for your safety

Obama era:

Conservatives--protest the ripping off of American taxpayers
Liberals--call them racists

Conservatives--Questions Obama's birthright
Liberals--call them racists

Conservatives--worried about 2nd amendment rights
Liberals--it's for your safety

This is why I am a conspiracy theorist. It's way too hard to believe that people are really like this. When something is too hard to believe as it is portrayed, I'd RATHER believe there's a conspiracy behind it.

I'm not saying there's a conspiracy theory behind any of what I'm saying. I'm just saying I have a hard time believing these are the types of people who vote people into government that perpetuate the problem.

Welcome to politics.

Enjoy the cynicism.

Star and flag from me.

It is rather sickening, isn't it? I have (or had) a couple of good friends who will not even speak to me now, because of my views on the current "Health Care Reform" debate. I agree with some of the suggestions and disagree with others. But, because I won't just swallow the whole package and don't want a government run plan, I am a hate filled fear monger.

I've said many times, this election cycle has done more to promote class warfare than any I can remember. And yes, from both D's and R's.

S&F For venting Truth Nunya,
It is frustrating knowing that nothing will change with the "divide and conquer" mentality.
Our contact for my local Teaparty's e-mail is along the lines of: republican@wtf.com
Now why would he have to have that division in the e-mail???
It just turns people away.
I think I'll e-mail him and set up my return mail as Independant@wtf.com.

We really need to get the left & right out of the way with their same old same old. Have you guys considered, if your state in 2010 has a senate opening, running?
We really need people in the senate with the time honored values of "you stupid paid off idiots, we're not going to take it anymore".
If we win all the available seats then that is 1/3 of the Senate. That is effective control right there to block, pass or run to the finish line. Also when the left & right who are heavily owned start going in lock-step, I believe that would wake up more people.
