This thread's heating up.   

Granny, I remember you said that one of your best friends in the world is a liberal. I think you might have even used the pejorative  "flaming" liberal.  So apparently you are able to see the good that dwells within us. I believe you when you say you wish the best for everyone, regardless of political philosophy. But a lot of conservatives do not wish liberals well. They don't want to drink from the same water fountain as we do. They would just as soon we be gone from the planet.


The bottom line is this, however. The reason many of you conservatives display such a nasty temperament  towards us kind liberals is simply because you think we want to take your stuff from you. That's it, folks. You thinks liberals want to take your stuff and give your stuff to blacks and minorities and anyone less well off than you are.   It may not be the politically correct thing to say but it is the correct thing. You say it at the dinner table; might as well admit it here. 

On a similar note, the reason these far right-wingers were so enthralled with Trump is because he, unlike past Republican presidents, gave them permission to think and say the things they have always thought and said behind closed doors. He gave those in his base permission to be proud of their prejudices and bigotries and, to them, the feeling was exhilarating and liberating, better than any drug.  Again, not politically correct to say , but oh so correct!!! No need to confine it to dinner table discussions anymore when the disgraced leader of your party says its alright to express your bigotries out in the open.  Not only does my mom speak of her dislike for foreigners at the supper table, she now has spread her message to public domains and social media. She knows her president(the disgraced, twice-impeached one) speaks his mind this way about people and groups he doesn't like. Her president validates her feelings and her bad behavior. The same is true for millions of other Trump idolaters.

Don't hate on us kind, generous liberals. We want everyone to succeed, INCLUDING YOU.  But for those who have been less fortunate than others, success begins with a level playing field, at least a leveler playing field.  Don't think of us liberals as devils.  Just think of us as levelers.

And , no we don't want your damn stuff !!!       We love you !!!!


For the record "flaming" liberal is HER term, not mine.  She calls me a withered up conservative.  Also HER term.
