They see us as haters no matter what we do. I don’t most liberals but I do hate liberalism. To many people who are used to rude and outrageous language, we seem like we don’t trust them to be able to handle the truth. Remember, they have been taught that self-expression is king and that you can’t trust someone who isn’t truthful with themselves.

I did some ethnic cleansing, I no longer have any liberal acquaintances or friends. I don’t care. They hate us then call us racists and haters. So be it.
I have also decided not to give to a liberal for charity, even if the lib is the one collecting only. At the grocery store I shop at there is already people out front collecting for Teen Challenge which is a great organization and one I have always donated to. I just got back from the store and there was a Mexican man in front of the collection bucket. I said....I have decided that all my charitable donations will be based on the election. Mexican Man: what? Me: Who did you vote for? Mexican Man: Why? I repeated the line about charitable contributions. Me: Who did you vote for? Mexican Man: Obama Me: Then call Obama, you will get nothing from me.

Because most of our alleged side is on their side. Deals struck having to do with what’s good for America or it’s voters.

At the professional level of politics, negative attacks are poll tested for their effectiveness and appeal to key political demographics. My guess is that the Obama-is-a-commie line of attack would not have gotten even that far because it would risk a possible backlash from core Obama supporters and due to the broad principle that incumbents are judged by the public at large on the basis of their record in office, not their life before attaining office.

Well, the way I see it, at this poin there are exactly two options left.

Surrender or fight to the death.

I often have told people over the past 10 year that if they need money from me to go see the government as it has half of my money. However, for good charities that affect people I personally know I have given, such as I can never turn down that disabled little girl selling Girl Scout cookies or that very polite young man selling popcorn. I help people directly as much as I can versus just giving to national charities where I just know the money isn’t really going to go help those in true need. I also don’t just give money but sometimes help with such things as Angel Flight and other charitable organizations that do things for people they simply cannot do for themselves. Charity for those that deserve it will always be a worthwhile cause. Charity for profit or to help those that are against me, never.
