As a UU, I pride myself on being respectful of all religions and faiths. It's none of my business what anyone believes or how that belief impacts their personal life, short of it impacting someone else's life negatively.
Well, I don't know, I just have such a hard time being respectful of evangelicals, because they are just so stupid and in your face about EVERYTHING.
My parents belonged to a non-denominational, born-again (what I call "crazy christian") church for most of my youth. Many friends of the family are from that church and the majority of them are still believers. So having these people as facebook friends is so irritating because they say the craziest crap and out of respect, I don't say anything.
So, today, one of these friends says "Virginia primary today. Paul/Santorum/Gingrich supporters uniting to oppose Romney. Dedication to a cause. Beautiful."
Now, I'm not really one party or the other, but I can tell you this. Romney is the only chance the Republican party has. If 33% of American votes Red, 33% votes blue and the other 33% is independent, you need a candidate with independent appeal, which Ron Paul has, but Gingrich and Santorum don't. If you really think that an independent is going to vote for the craziest christian on the ballot, you're stupid.
And that, my friends, is just reason #542,678 why evangelicals are stupid.

Non-compliance is the only vote that matters.
Republican vs. Democrat, Liberal vs. Conservative, Black Vs. White, White Vs. Everyone, Male Vs. Female, Young Vs. Old. All are tools of subjugation. Division is the whip which holds the properly "educated" slaves in fear of one another while the masters count their money and sip mint julips.
Division and public education hold the fabric of our society together long enough for social engineering rapists to slip us the big one, teach us to like it..or at least smile while we take it, then slip away to rape some other society once we're drained.
Say cheese.

Still at the end of the day (for the smiling-while-taking-it-guy), it's either Obama or someone else. If you really don't like Obama, you should be fighting for the person with the greatest chance against him. But they are so blinded by their dumb faith that they can't see that Santorum is a total weirdo without a snowball's chance in hell. 4_more_years for Obama.
Which, again, I am not saying that's bad IMO, I am just saying they're stupid.

If we don't like the choices..we should be showing up at Occupy meetings and getting this shit in gear. If we don't like Occupy, we should be getting our own going. Not waiting for the lying corrupt machine to make our choices for us. I mean, if we REALLY don't like the choices that is..
Voting this year or any other will get us what it's gotten us for at least 3 generations(likely many, many more): less than nothing-- exploited..raped..gutted..dumped..dead.
Demand number one: End the 150+ years Dem-Repub lock-hold on the electoral system. The system has been infiltrated by traitors and shitbags and needs to be fumigated.

I say: don't vote. Picket the polling places (without interfering with the voters) and draw the media attention which is already there, to the facts:
- That Democrats and Republicans have been the only two parties in power since 1853 when Franklin Pierce took office.
- Both of these parties have one agenda: Put the government deeper in debt, fill their pockets, secure and increase their power over American lives. When you create positions of power with little or no accountability and great wealth to be had, they tend to attract power hungry, money-grubbing people who like to avoid the consequences of their actions.
- That every other political party that's even attempted to mount a campaign since 1853 hasn't even come close. “Republican” and “Democrat” are like “Colgate” and “Crest”..name recognition and a track record as a winner are everything in a society where children are indoctrinated at an early age to distance themselves from possible “mistakes”..like picking a losing politician.
- That if “what they don't want” is for the people to vote..then the people have been giving them “what they don't want” for a century and a half. It hasn't given us more choices in politics. It hasn't improved the quality of our “leaders.” It hasn't improved the job situation, the economy, the world peace situation, trade deficits, the federal debt, police and judicial abuses..etc. Giving them “what they don't want” has given them exactly what they want because they don't care whether we vote or not. The system is rigged if we vote, and disregards us if we don't. If the electoral system is rigged and we have no way of affecting change outside of the system, then exactly what use is adding our energy to the voting process? To keep up the appearance of a farce? So that the naive and easily duped can continue to waste their time..in direct contradiction to our goal and efforts?

omg yes. I grow weary beyond words of their hypocrisy and judgment. For people who worship a man who defines love and socialism, they certainly are full of hatred.

i am so glad i am no longer in the middle; in the age of trump i might have got beaten up for being in public with my nonwhite boyfriend instead of just being shunned in restaurants and glared at in tourist destinations.
but i defend my people in the middle out here on the coast, especially in a big 'progressive' city. they have no clue what the reality is in the midwest. just how desperate most trump voters were after years upon years of decline and dissolution and drug addiction and death.
maybe you should bring liam on a vacation. maybe he will budge a little on his need to stay in iowa. my father moved me after my freshman year of high school; i hated him for it for awhile but that move actually made a lot of things in my adult life easier including my impulsive leap to the west coast as a 30th birthday present to myself.
