Observations - Tired of it all

The hatred on this board toward anyone who is a conservative has been absolutely rampant and so unnecessary.  It has become so bad here, the only way to describe it is a disease.  People have become totally obsessed with hating conservatives.  There are accusations of violence, yet no proof.  No videos, no voice clips, not even an iphone video or picture…nothing.  All you have is someone telling you things were said and done by conservatives, yet nobody can collaborate the story or give a name.  If they think people are just going to take their word for it, as one poster below said “you are being easily led”.

You can post as many articles as you want about violence in America…without a name it doesn’t stand on firm ground.  People are accusing others without any facts or names of who did these things.  For all you know it could have been a group of teenagers just out rough-housing (like in Philly, and other instances), but you’ve already decided you wanted it to be conservatives so you just lump everyone together and claim whatever is done is being done by all conservatives.  Thus you are creating mass hysteria and fear-mongering.

If you disagree with an ideology that is one thing, but the hate and attacks and labeling of posters and anyone who is a conservative, calling them Nazi’s, convicts, violent, ignorant, stupid, haters, nitwits, and any other name you can think of to insult is becoming very personal and you’ll be the first to be offended if people call you communist or socialist.

What has happened to this country that one group can be so hateful towards another and they think it is okay to spit this vile attitude out at people.  I have made many acquaintances on this board that I may share a difference of opinion with them political wise, but I respect their viewpoints and they respect mine.  This board used to be civil, but it’s just gotten downright nasty.  Of course you’ll say it’s all the other side and your side is innocent of all wrong doing.  I am glad I have seen some of my fellow long-time liberal friends not jumping on the band wagon.  They have earned my respect.    

If you don’t like the tea parties and the people who attend the events (i.e. Tea Party Attendees), don’t go, don’t watch, and don’t read about it.  That is your prerogative, however, for every person who doesn’t agree with the tea party and events there are those who do.  They have every right to their opinion, just as you do yours.  They have every right to call their congressman, and gather in peaceful demonstrations to show their dissatisfaction with what is happening to our country, questioning their congressmen, and when their congressman is giving them a line of baloney (for a nicer word), state it like it is, just like the people who marched against Bush and displayed their dissatisfaction with what he was doing, the war, etc.   To try and shut down one group because they have a difference of opinion than you is just not right, and flinging accusations without proof is not right either. 

I watched an interview by David Schuster on MSNBC and he had a guest on, Kevin Jackson, who wrote a book “The Big Black Lie”.  He said in an interview that there has not been any violence at any of the tea parties, and that he saw the video and found out that a lot of what they were saying happened had NOT occurred.  Also, he said nobody has a name of anyone who has committed violence, and that in many instances there are democrat operatives who are doing a lot of this stuff to stir up trouble.  For liberals to come out and state conservative have committed acts of violence when there is no proof I find is poor judgment.

Look, the fact of the matter is that the democrats passed the worst bill ever and Obama signed it.  The way they passed this is beyond belief.  Everyone in this country knows they bribed and paid for votes.  The coerced, ridiculed, and Pelosi would not let anyone go back to their home before the bill was signed because she knew they would come back and vote no.   The whole country knows that this government has been infiltrated and is corrupt beyond anything we have ever seen.  That is why it is referred to it as Chicago-style politics.  It is just plain corrupt of historical proportions.  But since you are on the democrats side so you believe it is okay.  There are issues from Bush’s administration that you were against.  You protested, you called your congressman and you did everything you could because you were against it.  But when Obama’s administration continue on the same path, signs the same bills, does the same thing Bush did you accept it without question and cut down anyone who isn’t joining in the big group hug. 

We need to hold the politicians (who happen to work for the American people) accountable for their actions.  When the country loud and clearly say no to a bill they are going to be affected by and the government goes against the will of the people (and laugh about it and give the big group hug, and say “it’s a big --- deal”, they need to be held responsible and to explain to the country why they went against the wishes of the American people.   There are many people out there who voted for Obama, but this is not what they voted for and they have stated so.  It’s as though we never did get Obama The Campaigner, we voted for, but got someone else.    

All I know is this board has been a real mess over the past week.  People are very angry with what just happened to the American people, and the other side is angry we are not just sitting back taking it and not saying anything.  Upset we aren’t happy with being dumbed down by all the garbage on TV and being made so stupid that we wouldn’t pay attention to what decisions they are making that affect us.  Accusations are being made without any proof, and when conservatives are voicing their disgust with the policies in place they are attacked for daring to voice an opinion not in favor of the issues.    

All I hope is the board can get back to the level of civility it used to be.  Disagree about issues, but please stop with the absolute hatred towards conservatives, personal attacks, stating how much more intelligent your side is, all because someone pushed the right buttons and clicked on certain ads in the survey, and british kids that were smart said who'd they vote for when they grow up, and posting that tea party members are violent when you know they are not.  You can say whatever you want to say over and over and over.  Doesn’t mean it’s true. 

What it boils down to is that you want all viewpoints other than yours stopped.  Are you really ready for a country like that?  If so, ask yourself this…if a republican president and congress was in power, and they tried to shut down your freedom of speech and right to assemble peacefully, voted for a bill that over 80% of the country kept saying loud and clear “no” to, etc.  (something of course you didn’t want), would you be okay with that?  And if you really are ready for the country to be turned into a socialist nation are you okay with that?  Really?  Have you done any research on other countries that are socialist and what life is really like for the people of the country?  You should research first, and then really think about it.  That’s what you want for this country?

I just think this is a very sad time for our country.
