Words from the “right”

Choice quotes from the Summer of 08.

1. Rush Limbaugh: “I tell people don’t kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for.”

2. Senator Phil Gramm: “We’re going to keep building the party until we’re hunting Democrats with dogs.”

3. Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impreach him, censure him, assassinate him.”

4. John Derbyshire intimated in the National Review that because Chelsea Clinton had “the taint,” she should “be killed.”

5. Ann Coulter: “We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too.” (more…)

MLK March Alamogordo, NM 1/19/09

I live in a Republican county and some Republicans here, bless their hearts, don’t really understand what a liberal really stands for.  So they make stuff up, or more aptly, they repeat the words of their great conservative teachers, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly from radio and TV.

In their definition of liberals they say the same things over and over as if we all alike “singing the same tune”.  They are not only out of touch with reality, but also tone deaf!   However we liberals do agree on some points.  For example: We tend to care about other people, many of whom we don’t even know—even people from other countries.  We believe that everybody should get an even break in life such as access to a good education and health care.

Our Republican neighbors don’t understand and are afraid that we want to take away all their money and will ruin the moral fabric of the country.  Here is my answer to their comments, which you have probably already heard and which I will therefore omit. (more…)
