OK. I fully admit I'm not real up on politics or every issue. But just from the most casual observations, here and there, I do recognize that people on both left and right extremes in America can be annoying as hell, at times. Take the following link, first: http://www.lewrockwell.com/wilson-jl/wilson-james29.html
Also, a while back, I had started making a list. Every time a "conservative" or a "liberal" did something to irritate me, I would add it to one side of the list. Stuff like the following is why I think the polarized stuff is so stupid.
left leaning/liberal
-double standards for racist minorities. Groups like NAACP and Al Sharpton are more than just pro civil rights. They are blatant bigots and only hardcore liberals would have a different level of tolerance for them than white racists.
-single out the South, as being more ignorant, when truthfully, the North is not really better, and ignorant people are fucking everywhere nowadays.
-Like to think of themselves as "free thinkers", but often just follow propaganda, just like any conservative minded individual they attack.
-anti-smoking nuts who, rather than choosing not to frequent pro-smoking places, try to get legislation passed to make sure everywhere is anti-smoking. Even in BARS. WTF?
-liberal pacifists who want to do away with our rights to bare arms
-liberals who attack "patriotism" when what they mean is conservatism. Liberal types like these are the reasons liberals are called unpatriotic.
-femi-Nazis: overblow everything men do out of proportion. Beating women is wrong. Selling sex...not so much. Hell, I'd be all for more male sexuality, personally. Even though many guys would say that's "gay". btw, there is a huge difference in my eyes between feminists and femi-nazis, so don't take my use of that term as an attack on feminists.
-pro-illegals who misuse and abuse the term "anti-immigrant" for people who support legal immigration. Even if you are for open borders, you have to be mature and make the distinction between people who are against immigration and diversity as a whole and people who just disagree with open borders and lawless chaos. No matter if our government or system is capitalist, communist, anarchist, or whatever, we cannot afford such a ridiculous amount of people simultaneously flooding one geographic location at once and draining our resources and special services (we got enough problems with certain citizens doing this, as is, much less inviting more). Calling every border control enthusiast "anti-immigrant", xenophobic or racist makes you seem like a child who simply ignores the other side's arguments, altogether, when he doesn't like them.
-vegan elitists who are intolerant of meateaters, and must attack them.
-people who are too easily offended by words and groups who try to censor speech they don't like. Of course, it only matters if you offend a minority group, with many liberals. Completely different set of rules. This arrogance and double standards shit puts many off.
-liberal pacifists who are the reason we let murderers, rapists and child molesters out of prison to do it again.
-exaggerating the effects of white privilege and selling victimization to black people. often mistake class and race issues.
-atheists or secular people who just want to act like children and act overly sensitive to any display of religion. Or act elitist, over religious people before even knowing them. You don't have to agree with organized religion (which BELIEVE ME...I don't) to respect people's rights to express it (so long as they are not trampling on others rights).
-liberals who trashtalk the troops. fucking tasteless. yes, there are a LOT of assholes, but there are a LOT of good decent people who just wanted to do their part to serve. And without any army of any sort, we would be taken over.....QUICK, and you wouldn't be typing this shit on these little websites. Just think about that.
-banning Christian kids from praying, but allowing Muslim kids a different set of rules.
-people who get offended when you attack ANY Muslims, as if you are attacking the entire religion. the extremists are a big problem.
-pro-illegals who make this nation's illegal immigration debate into a "White America" issue, ignoring all the non-white Americans including legal immigrants and their children who are against it. Also ignoring how most countries have laws concerning immigration, and Mexico's laws are MUCH harsher than ours. Singling out "White America" is racist.
right leaning/conservative
-racist statements like "I learned everything i need to know about Islam on 9/11" judging an entire group off certain extremists. (yes, there are a bunch of extremists, but not every Muslim supports terrorism. Do I think many are ignorant....well, I think many religious people in general are ignorant, including so called "Christians" in America)
-Christians who use their "faith" to be moral police: ban strip clubs, movies they don't approve of, etc.
-conservative fossils who are anti-sex ed in schools. Ignoring it because you think it's "inappropriate", won't make it go away. Kids are going to have sex. Educate them.
-complain about how homosexuality is "wrong", because the Bible says so, even when they are "sinners", too and don't follow the Bible that much. Especially rednecks. (The only people that think drunk rednecks are moral authorities are other dumb shit trashtalking hillbillies.) Hypocrites. Half of the guys don't care if it's lesbians on a Girls Gone Wild video. They really got no room to talk. PLUS, even if you are against it, making it out to be just an alternative perverted lifestyle is ignorant as fuck. They DO NOT LIKE THE OPPOSITE SEX, and never will. That goes beyond any sexual acts committed or being just a lifestyle. It's not as if they could just start liking the opposite sex tomorrow, at the drop of a hat, but choose not to.
-complain about all "Mexicans", and act racist about non-white languages and cultures. There are Hispanic-AMERICANS who are against illegal immigration, so lumping anyone who looks Hispanic into the same category or going off on someone whose talking to their grandmother in Spanish is ignorant. Also ignorant is thinking statements like "Si usted puede leer esto, usted está el país equivocado." are clever. I actually heard a guy use that. Hint: translated, it says "If you can read this, you are in the wrong country". I don't care if you're against illegal immigration. Hell, I support an official language, but I'm not an ass towards people who speak other tongues.
-overly willing to defend greedy consciousless big businesses and corporate interests who don't need to be defended. About the illegal immigration thing, for example: I'm fully for getting rid of NAFTA and WTO. Many people just want to "deport all the Mexicans" and don't care to look at our side. I fully support anything we can do to help build the Mexican economy or pressure their government to change.
-blame every poor person for their own conditions without knowing them or having been through what that person has been through. (speaking in psychological terms, usually Type A personalities--assholes- who don't know how to really stop and "smell the roses")
-racially profile all black people, because of the "niggers" and thugs and criminals. often mistake class and race.
-people that think animal abuse (dogfights) is not a problem
-people who complain about filesharers "stealing", but not the state of the music industry.
-defend our medical care system, arrogantly and don't understand that some hardworking people can't afford to pay the outlandish prices put on human lives. It's not that they don't want to pay, and they are purposely trying to take your tax dollars, you arrogant pieces of shit.
-people that try and convince you their religious views are right and the ONLY way and want to use politics to forcefeed these views to everybody. Then laughably claiming persecution when they are not allowed to bully their way into politics.
-conservatives who are so war hungry, that they could be sold on a war with ANY "Muslim" nation. (racist sacks of shit) And who act like they are too dumb to differentiate between people attacking our soldiers and people attacking the reasons and motives behind a certain war. We were built on freedom of speech, not nodding our heads along to everything our "superiors" do.
-conservatives who want to take evolution out of schools, completely, but want more "God" in schools. ("God" meaning their views on Christianity)
-anti-illegals who try and defend our ancestors takeover of Native American territory because there "weren't laws back then". Bottom line...what makes illegal aliens disrespect of our "laws" worse than the Pilgrims disrespect for the Native Americans claim to the land? Oh riiiight. We had paperwork and a "system". See where I'm going with this?
-pro-war conservatives who act like 9/11 was so much worse than any other genocide, because it happened to us, or are ignorant to how many innocents have died at OUR hands, overseas. Like American deaths are more important than other deaths or some stupid shit. Hell, most of these conservative types will even support an unnecessary war where more unnecessary innocents die overseas. Hypocritical.
-shit attitudes about environment and global warming
-(on why there aren't really many conservative musicians): "because most conservatives have jobs".....fuck, this guy is boring and well-trained. if we all thought like this sheep, we would have nothing WORTH working FOR or living for. No art, no music, no passion. Just "work, bubba." I know this isn't really political, but many conservatives need to lighten the hell up.....and TRY to think and go against the grain on occasion.
I may or may not reply a whole lot to this. If I offend anyone, please be civil in explaining why. Like I said, I don't really keep up with every issue, nowadays. This is just based on observations, i started jotting down.
