The New Fascists

Believe me they are out there. I told everyone how my
sister in law feels and what she spouts and it is pure
hate for those who don't agree.

These people do not realize that if you have a family of
six and want to become a citizen that it requires a lot of study and one thousand dollars per person. Six thousand
dollars is a lot for people who are in a lower income
bracket.

Obama care is wasteful? Do they not realize that we are
spending as much or more on Emergency room care. No one
can be turned down at the emergency room and they are
crowded beyond belief.

I know that I am preaching to the choir but these people
have no compassion. It is the old pull yourself up by
your bootstraps mentality and if you can't you deserve
to starve. She harks back to the thiries but FDR had
plenty of programs to keep people going like the Works
Projects programs and the program that aided the arts and
were responsible for preserving music and sculpture etc.
There are plenty of people who need assistance in order to
live halfway comfortable lives. I don't begrudge it.

Kristy thinks I have been hard on the sister in law but she
really does believe every thing the right wing is devoted
to.

We are a radically divided country. A friend at my sister's party made an anti-Obama joke/comment that made me livid. I almost left the party after I abruptly walked away from him.

We are a nation that is divided. My temper flares and I say too much.

Working with the poorest as a social worker I saw how badly our social and economics systems are stacked against them. There are too many valid and credible studies of the poor for there to be any excuse for this much ignorance! Poverty breeds poverty as much as wealth creates more wealth. Unfortunately, it is a pyramid with more poor at the bottom and the wealthy clambering to maintain their status at the top.

Yes, when you have no role models and the only avenue you see is welfare and/or drug trafficking, it is very discouraging.

I had to tell my friend back there in Colorado, you know the one, her initials are CK, to stop sending me those forwarded far-right hateful emails and false rumors. I know she's got some far-right friends, and is pretty far right herself, and I usually just ignore it, but it was just over the line.

There is no reasoning with these people.

Don't EVEN get me started. These people are ignorant and determined to stay that way.

The more I thought about it, the madder I got. If you go back far enough
we are all immigrants. It worries me that our country is so divided.

Oh I really just meant the comment on her looks...
