This is Anne... Complete and Real
Published on November 5, 2004 By Tangled Wishes In Blogging
I'm young, I'm a female, I'm a minority, I'm not a Christian, and I have gay friends. I've been raped, I've been discriminated against racially, and I've been treated like shit for being a woman.

Of course I'm a flaming liberal, how couldn't I be?

And I also don't understand how anyone cannot be. How can you think that anyone has the right to make a decision for an entire group of people without giving them any say at all? How can you say that gay marriage should be illegal until after you have seen, or been in the shoes of, someone in a homosexual relationship?

How can you say that abortion is illegal until you have been forced to be in the shoes of a poor young girl who is raped and becomes pregnant? How could you say that a woman can't make the decision to do with her body when you have no idea what it is like to be in her shoes?

Since I'm angry, I react like a human being. I'm not above anyone else, I'm down in the pits with everyone else, I hate too. How can I not? How can I not hate a group of persons who is so against things I feel like are basic human rights?

I just wish every other young person, every other female, every other minority, every other person who has been a victim of sexual assault, every other homosexual or bisexual person and any one who isn't a christian in the country would have voted with the party that supported them. Unfortunately, they didn't, and here I am in a country with a big fat headed Texan idiot president for another four years. Thank god for Kansai Gaidai next year and that Minnesota is very close to Canada, and I've heard getting a work permit in another country isn't very hard.

So I'll end this article by saying, yes I know it's irrational to hate the enemy, but I do it anyway. I understand if you're the Enemy that you're going to immediately hate what I have to say too, and that it would be a boring waste of time for me to try and change your mind, or to sit and argue with you over things neither of us are going to change our minds about. What I'm going to do is try my hardest to affect the people out there who haven't associated with a party yet. I'm going to do what I can so that the same thing doesn't happen with elections next time around. What are you going to do?

Hey...I've been there. I still think that abortion should be illegal. There are thousands of people that want a baby/child of there own, and can't have one. Why kill an innocent being just because of one mans arrogance and bullshit? You are so full of hatred, you need to step back and realize that not all people that you are describing are "flaming liberals!"

BTW, if you're feeling oppressed now, keep up the hatred.


Deadzombie, you are one of the most hateful people I've ever had the misfortune of experiencing.

The thing is, a liberal hating a conservative is a reaction to the hate thrust upon her in the first place. Liberals don't hate for the sake of it. Liberals don't hate gays, the poor, women who need abortions, women in general, Jews, people of color. No, the conservatives have a hold on that corner of the universe. Our hatred of conservatives is self preservation. We're sick of being so hated for nothing other than some ideological crap that only leads to discrimination and more hatred.

I too hate conservatives. But, only because they hate me.

History is replete with examples of this kind of excuse (and a weak one at that) I hate fill in your target of choice because they hate me. Paint everyone with the same brush and hate away. Keep using that crutch and see how far it gets you. My guess is, you'll get the same results that the democratic party got this election.

The fact of the matter, liberals aren't trying to make Constitutional amendments just to discriminate against one segment of society. Conservatives keep trying and trying. Liberals aren't trying to dictate what a woman can do with her own body. Conservatives are. Liberals aren't trying to impose their religions on anyone. Does the Christian Coalition come to mind for you? They've got the conservatives' ear, and the conservatives do their bidding. Jews, Muslims, Buddists, etc. are a mere afterthought, and not worthy of consideration.

The fact of the matter, Conservatives do what they do because they hate gays, women, non-Christians, anyone who is not molded in their own image. That why I hate conservatives. I have no interest, nor do any liberals, in squelching the rights of others. The conservatives have a corner on that market. Yup, I hate conservatives because they hate me.

Hmm, I don't have much too say, except that d3adz0mbie is brilliant and articulate.
