You seemed to have missed my point. You say "I've included blacks in my circle of friends" in the same sentence that you said you hate liberals. Like they are each some unified group that has meetings every weekend to discuss their activity. You allow the members of the "blacks" into your circle, while excluding the liberals.
These aren't two clubs, though. These are abstract groups that political journalists (read: writers with no other skills) create so the world seems conveniently packaged. If you could send me the link to the "blacks" website that lists their requirements for membership and their mission statement I'd love to read it.
I'm just being facetious of course, but I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. If you are going to generalize like that, you are just choosing what to focus on. We are all Americans, why don't we just talk about that? Or how about grouping ourselves based on how many bones we've broken in our lives? It all amounts to the same thing, we are grouping people in our minds so we can hate them all in one place.
You hate sorry politicians, and self-serving, incompetent people. All this labeling is just a distraction from the fact that these people are not qualified to do the job we've hired them for.
You are a true liberal, fine. I am a Cardinals fan. I also like chocolate ice cream.
What effect does that have on our country? Do you buy a different kind of toothpaste as the result of that ideology? Do you work for a different company than you would have otherwise? Besides the politicians that you are supposed to be voting in on merit anyway, what does this ideology matter outside the confines of your head, and what influence do these "corruptors" of that ideology have?
These marxists masquerading as liberals, are they out sucking the blood of innocents? Literally? Because that is what you make it sound like.
Maybe the problem is that these politicians know they have an army that will vote them in, regardless of how badly they do, as long as their opponent belongs to the other party. They don't have to try, they just have to label themselves and we all have orgasms.
I don't know, Vi, the sole fact that you are on the internet makes me skeptical. He is 89, so almost as old as they come!
