The kinder gentler rhetoric

I want to reply, but mastefish and rollo have done it so well...there's nothing left to say!

Liberals/democrats are among the most mean-spirited "humans" that exist. It's all about their way or the highway and "their way" is always wrong; that's why they are called the "left" and not the right. (not my original quote, but I don't know whom to credit). Hypocrites, whiners, traitors, murderers, foul mouthed, beyond arrogant and self-absorbed, and a host of negatives describe them. How pathetic that we, as a country, have subscribed to such foolishness; we really must not tolerate it any longer.

Remember when President Reagan was going to cut the budget and we were told that the only way seniors could make ends meet was to eat dog food. Then we had the Chinese making dog food and dogs dying because of it. I don't remember any Senior Citizens dying. I have been reading some articles about the Government welfare programs and every time some one talks about changes or cuts you hear the same thing - Seniors will die, the Children will be harmed, we can't cut education, where will the homeless stay and so on. It has been the same message for decades and the programs have not changes anything and budget cuts do not change the life style of the poor.

It's fairly typical. Talk about fear-mongering and emotionally charged reactions. This is what they do, this is how they try to sway the public. When the discussion is about making the budget work, cutting spending and making the government spend responsibly, the only way to try to win the argument is with fear and emotion. The exaggerated comparisons to bombing innocent civilians, the claims that old people will starve and die ... these are toddler tantrums - "I'll hold my breath till I turn blue and then you'll feel guilty!" My favorite was the concept of old people eating cat food - cat food costs far too much for people with no money to buy, heck canned foods for real people are cheaper. So out of touch, these libs. But you must remember that it's not violent or exaggerated rhetoric if they use it. After all, it's the other side who are villains - trying to destroy the lives of everyone, especially the poor, the elderly, the minorities and anyone else the libs think can be scared into believing them. I don't know how to address these guys or make them deal with reality. The whole thing is just too much like talking to my teenage daughter. "I hate you, you're ruining my life! You're just mean!" I honestly don't see much difference between her reactions and Pelosi's.

It's a separate standard because those on the left, leftists the world over, have been the ones reinventing language for decades. When you set the standards of what's acceptable and what's not, of course what you do is always acceptable. It's rare people put themselves in check. I can yell at my kid because I'm the daddy and I say what goes! Do as I say not as a do. Just another example of why these bozos need to be far, far away from public office. Sure, it isn't as extreme an example as there ever was, but it's just more BS on top of the BS that goes to show how moronic people like Pelosi are. She's been at it for years now, comparing people speaking up at town halls to political assassins and categorizing an entire movement of people as bought-and-paid-for big-business shills. If you put your ear to a shell, you can hear the ocean. If you're in the same room with Pelosi, you can hear that one marble tinking around in her empty skull.

I find the kinder/gentler language coming out of the left absolutely disgusting..."bombing innocent civilians"...give me a break. But the one I really like is Matersfish's comment about listening to Pelosi in a room. That was funny...
