I did not stop to help a * supporter today.
I had no idea how deeply my hate for that man ran. My lack of an interaction, with a * supporter is still haunting me a couple of hours later.
I was on my home and was on the ramp getting off the highway. I saw a mini-van on the side of the road. There was a lady standing next to the van and in her arms she held her child. I can only assume her mini-van had broken down. I don't know, perhaps with so many gad stations being out of gas, she had also run out. I slowed down and started to pull over to offer her a ride. At the very last second I noticed a "W" sticker on the back of her vehicle and I sped up and drove off.
I feel really bad as a human being. That child is not responsible for their parent's belief system. They are innocent and do not deserve to be out in the heat. (It is warm but not so bad that they would even break a sweat) I try not to punish people for what they believe.
On the other hand, so many hateful thoughts went through my head. I wondered how a person could see what was going on in NO and still have one of those awful stickers on their car. How could they support an awful excuse for a human being that has let our country down and is letting Americans die after they have made it through the storm? How can someone be so blind and so stupid?
I thought that if she loves * so much, maybe he would come along and help her the same way he is rescuing all of those poor people in the weather stricken part of our country. Let's see what her hero can do for her.
I never did go back. I was so upset with that sticker and with the fact that someone would support an idiot who is so clearly running our country into the ground.
So why am I writing this? It is not to boast, I really feel bad about passing this child and not picking up their mother. Perhaps it is for a catharsis of sorts? That would be an educated guess. I suppose it is because I feel conflicted and I am writing this to try and sort through what I am feeling. There are two emotional sides, for me, on this incident and neither seems completely right or wrong to me. Even writing this, I am still not able to work through what happened. I feel like I am floating between right and wrong and am unable to grab either side.
Thanks for listening.
OK, admittedly late to comment, but I just got this link from another thread.
I won't dwell on the "conscious" vs. "conscience" clue this DUer gives readers as to the quality of her education. But I'm a little confused as to where the rest of the spew comes from. Where does she hear these "excuses" she quotes so diligently? I have never heard a conservative come up with these, even on the most heated discussions here.
Is she quoting the local Dim politicians? More projection on their part?
And, most important, does she finally feel like the total JACKASS she is now that even they can't ignore the truth?
Nah, I didn't think so, either
One more thing: if we try and post such BS here on FR, we'd better have links to where we saw it, or face the flames. But then, this site has integrity....
</rant>
Read all about the people of compassion here. They sure aren't very nice.
I hope this haunts the "bee-ach" for the rest of her life.
I must admit when I see a Kerry sticker I have a tendency to whisper obscenities under my breath, but if some idiot with a Kerry sticker had a baby in their arms I'd try to help........not for them, but for the baby.
Like this one, in their "democraticunderground?"

Please put "Free Republic" bumper stickers on your car. That way, if I ever personally see one of you in a situation like this, I can swerve to hit you. I wouldn't care if you are holding a baby or not, you poison everything you touch and are not worthy of the air you breathe.
You are sick, sick, evil people and you deserve whatever the hell happens to you. You are right about one thing, though, I have no compassion. At least not for your kind. All my compassion is being spent on the HUMANS (something you are not) your kind have purposefully set out to maim, kill, and destroy. Everything has its limits, even compassion. You reap what you sow. Enjoy your harvest."
The creature describes itself, it seems. Of course, it didn't have the cojones to post this HERE. It needs more than that, of course, but perhaps the best punishment for it is to wish that it be held to its own standards.
Why not?
I guess you aren't on the pinglist for PJ-Comix DUmmie Funnies are you? When his computer is up and running correctly it's a daily thread.
Here's the last one.

Y'know, I'm glad I'm not like you. I may not like their politics but they're human just like I am.
Hate is corrosive.
First, if you read my last comment (#119) I acknowledged that I was wrong and deserved the lashing I got. I guess you just like to knock a guy around when he's down. Second, you could do alot worse than being like me :)
Yes, I see I was mistaken. I recall seeing admin mod pulling a similar thread once, but I guess it was somehow different. I do wonder why some freepers pay so much attention to such an an insignificant website; it's hardly a left wing freerepublic.
