uyduchamp - Sep 2nd 2010 @ 04:48 pmMy personal problem with Ron Paul is that even though he’s Liberatarian “less or no government” he is vehemently Anti-Choice. So he might not want the government in your pipe or your bedroom: but he still wants Johnny Law in the vagina & I’m just not down with that.
And I’m not saying that all Right Wingers are ignorant redneck, why look at the billionaire Koch Bros who have donated heavily to the Tea Party….yknow, that Grassroots movement…
& no. I don’t turn a blind eye to fucked up shit that the Left have done either. I am no fan of either Clinton, for one example. Er, two examples.
But it’s the overwhelming bitterness and blind hatred that make the Right a bigger enemy to me. Yes, at least you know where you stand with them. Very little is cloaked, compared to the Left. But they’re more likely to throw a punch, pull a trigger…from my experience….again. That’s just me.
I agree with you on Ron Paul, and it’s a shame because I think he’d be better than most anyone either side would put in office.
As for the right being more quick to violence, that seems to be a trend in more recent years but if you dig into it there’s more than it seems. Isolated incidents like killing an abortion doctor by one crazy person are more often on the right side of things, but historically the organized acts of violence have been from the left. There’s a lot out there on the topic, I tried to grab one article that didn’t appear to be from a biased place (fox news or huffington), just to get the discussion going;
