Tuesday Open Thread: April 20th, 2010

Posted at April 20, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

What’s on your minds this Tuesday?

What are people talking about in your part of the country?

*******************************************************

In case you missed it, here’s Part One of our report on Sarah Palin’s visit to Washington, IL this past weekend.

If any of you post over at Sarah Palin supporting boards, and think they would enjoy a detailed first hand account of meeting her in person for the first time, we’d appreciate you submitting the post for their own links.  Our intention was to try our best to capture what Palin, and her husband Todd, are really like in person and show supporters that the faith and trust they have in them are definitely not misplaced.  The Palins are the real deal, and if they and their support team are this nice to us — gay Hillary Dems in Boystown — then everything vile the Left says about them is definitely far off the mark.

********************************************************

Today, we’re working on our analysis of the excellent speech Sarah Palin delivered at the Five Points, Washington event in central Illinois this weekend.  We believe this speech will be remembered years from now as one of the first speeches of her presidential campaign, as we detect many points in the speech that seem perfect in forming her campaign platforms and also a larger, driving force behind a Palin White House bid.

The speech was lengthy, with many great points, so maybe we’ll get the analysis done today, if life permits, and maybe we’ll get it done tomorrow.  We do everything as fast as we can, but we’re not a staff of hundreds.

This is a great opportunity, actually, to address something that bothers us about many of you out there — those of you who send us hatemail because we don’t get to something quickly enough for you, or who seem to think we are CNN or the New York Times.

You realize we have to work for a living, right? And that not all of us are lucky enough to have steady 9-5, M-F jobs.  Some of us work two or three jobs, and pick up as many bartending and catering shifts as possible, just to make rent and have enough to afford road trips to political events like the Palin speech in central Illinois.  It might not seem expensive to some out there, but for us to rent a car to head down there for a day, pay for gas, and give up a shift or two working an event for a day, it’s a pretty big deal.  We do it because not only is politics a passion for us, but because we genuinely enjoy meeting so many great people on these adventures, knowing we have an opportunity to head back here, write it all up, and share the experience with thousands of others out there that didn’t have the chance to do whatever it is we did.

But, most days we run on four, maybe five, hours of sleep.  We might work double shifts one day, and not have more than an hour or two here or there to write for this site. Some posts are really easy to make and flow naturally, like a riff on something in the news, or a quick write-up of something odd or interesting we noticed that day.

Other things, like a full-scale adventure such as Saturday, are things we’d like to take time with, so we can review our notes from the day and really capture a moment in time that meant something to us.  We had one of the best times ever going to meet Sarah and Todd Palin, and it was something that deserved much more than just a throwaway comment or a quick Cliff’s Notes report.  We would have actually liked to take more time than we did with yesterday’s piece on the experience, because there’s so much more we saw, experienced, and learned on Saturday.  It’s why we didn’t even try to cram in the analysis of Palin’s speech into that first report, because there is just too much great material to jam together without giving it its full due.

So, we’re very concerned by posters such as Nervygirl — to single out the nastiest remarks we received — who attack us for not getting something up fast enough for you.

It’s a very strange situation for us doing this.  We’re attacked nonstop by the Left for not bowing at the feet of Obama, which we have come to accept as just another part of life, like the sun coming up each day.  If it’s Tuesday, it must mean more death threats, more lunatics wishing we’d all get AIDS and die, and more diatribes from the unhinged telling us how racist we are for not spending every waking hour declaring Dr. Utopia to be the greatest president in the history of the universe.

We can’t lie and say these nuts don’t get to us.  You try reading — in stunning detail — how much someone wants your immune system to collapse, for cancer to ravage your body, and for you to end up in a hospice, withered down to nothing, with tubes sticking out of orifice, dying of one of the worst diseases we know of…try imagining what it’s like to get emails like this, on a daily basis, from people who don’t like that we voice our political opinions and exercise our free speech on a rolling basis.

You can’t just ignore this garbage — at least we can’t.  As much as we wish we could dismiss it away, it does get to us.  We don’t let it ruin our day.  We never let it stop us.  But, it does get to us, and it is always in the background of our lives…this reminder of how utterly and completely insane and filled with hate the Left truly is.

But, we do have to say that as much as we can put these attacks into the background, what does really frustrate and upset us are the people like Nervygirl who pretend to be supporters and regular readers, but who troll in posts waiting for some strange way to attack us.  It’s unsettling, because it’s like living in a house with someone who suddenly reveals herself to be a serial killer.  It’s just so out of the blue, random, and crazy we don’t know how to process that.

Let’s get this straight Nervygirl, and others like her:  we spend the entire day on Saturday driving seven hours to and from an hours-long event…which was not only physically exhausting for guys who aren’t used to being on the road, or driving in cars, period, for any length of time but was also thought-provoking and chock full of interesting experiences…and because we don’t have a full, detailed, readable report ready and posted the very next day, it’s cause to post nastiness about us on our site, and send us evil hatemail demanding we work faster?

People, if you are doing things like Nervygirl, things like this, then you need to consult a mental health professional, as there is just no excuse for behavior like this.  It’s insane.  And, honestly, you  need to stop reading us if you are so wrapped up in things we do that you send us hatemail because it took us until Monday to write a report on something.

That’s sick.

And it’s frightening.

We work really hard every day just to stay alive here in Chicago and keep our heads above water.  After that, we work really hard writing about politics because we think, in a very small way, we are having an impact on elections and hopefully spurring others to get involved and take back this country from lunatics.  At times, it is mentally and physically exhausting running almost 24/7 between real life and the Internet.  Some of you don’t seem to understand that it takes 10x as long to write content as it does to read it.  You also don’t realize that all the magazines, newspapers, and professional sites out there have dozens, if not hundreds, of people working on the material you see up and running licketysplit.

We’re a couple of guys in Boystown, doing the best we can, who don’t think it’s fair to be attacked for not moving fast enough for some jerks out there.

It’s rare for us to break the fourth wall and get into this garbage, but we’re just so disgusted by Nervygirl’s attacks that we felt the need to address this — and to give you a peek into the stressful, frustrating, and hard to handle side of taking on what we have taken on.  It’s fun having these adventures.  It’s remarkable so many people want to read about them.

But, it’s creepy getting the riot act from the Nervygirls out there for not moving fast enough, when we’re operating beyond normal human capacity as it is.  More than one of us really probably should have been hospitalized for food poisoning at Easter…and the reason only two of us were able to head down to see Sarah is because another two are STILL too weak from that food poisoning to make long trips like that.  If this speech had been a week earlier, we would have had to miss it, as none of us would have been up for the ride.

The longer we do this, the more we’re attacked from new and bizarre angles, and at the end of the day, the tougher we all become — but this was a new and surreal attack that we just don’t know how to address.

The logic involved here is just so crazy too:  you claim to love our writing so much that you now hate us for not writing faster, and to get us to write faster you say nasty things to and about us so that we don’t feel especially inspired to write anything because we’ve been hit with so much of your hate.

Please explain this to us if you are one of the Nervygirls out there.

HillBuzz on the Road: How Sarah Palin Played in Peoria

Posted at April 19, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

Here’s the story of our trip to Washington, IL on April 17th to hear Sarah Palin speak at the Five Points Washington.  It was a fun day for us, and we are so grateful for the opportunity we had for this adventure.  So many of you have been asking us to tell the story in as much detail as possible, so we’ve obliged.  We’re breaking it up into two parts, with the first part below telling the tale, and the second part focusing squarely on Palin’s speech itself that day — and all the clues it gave that this remarkable woman is very much running for President already.

Charlie Crist should be destroyed like a salty, orange, metaphoric Carthage

Posted at April 19, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

Florida Governor Charlie Crist, center, with Lisa Welchel and Nancy McKeon

Word is that Florida’s orange and slimy Governor, Charlie Crist, is indeed going to run for the Senate as an Independent — for the sole purpose of splitting the Republican vote and handing the Senate seat to Socialist-Democrats.

We can not stress enough this simple truth: third-party candidates, in 95% of races, are engineered to elect the person with a (D) after his or her name, because they are spoilers that are funded by the DNC and its allies to divide Republicans.

Part of this is because Socialist-Democrats are very good at manipulating Republican voters with that “let’s teach the GOP a lesson” garbage.  The MSM is happy to pick this up and run with it, deluding conservative and moderate voters into thinking voting for the Independent candidate, or a fake “Tea Party” candidate, is the way to “send a message to the GOP”.

The only message sent, folks, is how gullible these voters are, that keep falling for this garbage over and over again.

Charlie Crist is a despicable politician.

He’s been lying to voters for years about his sexuality, and the escapades he’s engaged in at the Green Iguana in Tampa, where he often appeared as “Charlotte Sweet, Belle of the South”. Charlie/Charlotte was a fixture at the Green Iguana for years, before running for Governor, and following the Rock Hudson/Tom Cruise/Eric Massa/Larry Craig playbook and marrying a beard, in his case, Carole Rome, heiress to — no joke — a novelty and practical joke supply company that sells, among other things, FAKE BEARDS.

Eric Massa is proof of what happens when gay men in elected office are allowed to engage in the PR fantasies of being married.  The Left knew all about Massa, and the debauched gay frat house he ran in Washington, only slightly less depraved than the brothel Barney Frank operated out of his own DC residence.

The Left shielded Massa, until he tried to cross Nancy Pelosi, and so she outed and destroyed him.

Charlie Crist has, no doubt, a file a mile long somewhere in the DNC.  There is just no way they don’t have photos of him dressed up as “Sweet Charlotte”, vamping it up at the Green Iguana.  We’ve met many people involved in Florida politics who say Crist’s romps are common knowledge — but neither Democrats nor Republicans have outed him or made any of this known to the general public.

Why?

Because Democrats like keeping those files, on Republicans in particular, until they are of best use.  In Crist’s case, Democrats want him to either cost Republicans the Florida Senate seat by being a spoiler, or to win as an Independent so he can caucus with Democrats in the future.  That file on him means the DNC will own him, and like with Eric Massa, Crist will be protected, with “Sweet Charlotte” an open secret, until such time as he crosses his DNC masters and has to be destroyed by them.

The reason Republicans don’t out and expose Crist is a bit more complicated.

It seems that Republicans are afraid of exposing Crist because treading anywhere near a gay scandal is just something they don’t want to do, ever.  It’s why, seemingly, there’s a disproportionate number of closeted Republican men either in Congress, or running for it, with little effort made by Republicans to say, “Wait a minute.  Don’t we think it’s a bad idea to set ourselves up for future embarrassments with this guy?”

There’s a weird dichotomy at play in the RNC with gay politicians.

The GOP seems to make it hard for gay men to be open about who they are. They seem afraid the RNC won’t help them fundraise, won’t back them in races, and won’t give them support if they are gay, so these guys hide it, and in some cases go to ridiculous, Rock Hudson lengths to “prove” how straight they are.  See: Charlie Crist’s FABULOUS wedding, and the Peoria Congressman who keeps posing shirtless, poolside, with busty “babes” to show how much he loves being surrounded by such large mammaries. These guys fool no one.  Except themselves.  And, possibly, the RNC — because why else would they keep engaging in these painful charades?

So, on one hand the GOP seems to create an environment that encourages gay guys to be quiet and pretend to be straight, at all costs.

Then, once these guys are in office, the GOP seems to give them carte blanche to be as bizarre as they want to be, because the GOP does not want more gay scandals, so the GOP keeps pretending these men are really straight, no matter how many times they dress up as “Sweet Charlotte”.

Men like Crist know the GOP will never take them down, no matter what they do.

It does not seem likely the Republicans would ever out and humiliate one of their own like the DNC did to Eric Massa.

So, here’s what happens:  men like Larry Craig, and Charlie Crist, entrenched in the GOP, realize they can do whatever they please, and be as gross as they want, since their party will never take them to task.  The Democrats, on the other side of the aisle, are excellent at opposition research, and know everything the gay Republicans are up to…and they will then use this to blackmail these men.

There is a shocking (to no one) correlation between the amount of dirt the DNC has in a file on someone and the number of times that closeted man throws his vote to Democrats…on issues like Cap & Tax, for instance.  Since there’s no fear of the GOP coming down on them for anything, the men continue to engage in whatever fetishes they have, building a bigger and bigger file in Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid’s offices…and the longer they stay in office, the more often they are blackmailed into voting against the GOP and their constituents’ own best interests, because the DNC effectively forces them to heel, lest they be Eric Massa-ed.

The only thing that will ever stop this is if the GOP grew a pair and threw men like Charlie Crist to the wolves.

Absolutely everything about the Green Iguana should be document-dumped to the voting public, so that there’s no way possible for him to run as an Independent and be taken seriously. Every dollar that goes to his fool’s quest to split the vote in this Senate race is a dollar that could be going to helping Marco Rubio win that seat.

While we are not big Rubio supporters, because there’s just something about him we don’t trust, we need every Republican possible to win in the fall.  Rubio’s going to win the Republican nomination, and he needs all the help he can get to win the Senate race in the fall.  Socialist-Democrats should NOT be allowed to prop Charlie Crist up in this race as a spoiler.

Crist’s political future should be completely destroyed, and he should be utterly removed from the elected office scene.  He cannot be trusted, he is a liar and a slimeball, and he’s ORANGE.

ORANGE.

Someone who dresses up as a poor man’s Charlotte Rae impersonator, and lies about it, BADLY, is too much of a risk to put into an office where it’s far, far, FAR too easy for the likes of Pelosi and Reid to blackmail his orange, leathery hide into doing whatever they want him to do.

It’s time to take the sequined gloves off, folks.

We urge the GOP to do to Crist what Rome did to Carthage, and not just beat him in this race, but completely annihilate, humiliate, and expose him for who he really is.

We are gay men in Boystown who think closeted politicians are a great danger to this nation, and that Charlie Crist is more dangerous than  most, for the simple fact that absolutely no good can possibly come from allowing him to continue in this Senate race.

At best, he’ll just split the vote with Rubio and cost Republicans the election outright.  At worst, he’ll win the race, as an “Independent”, but will be beholden to the DNC anyway because of the blackmail operation they’ll run on him.

The GOP has been reluctant to take him down, and it’s not seemingly in their nature to be proactive about problems like this, but if there was ever a time for Republicans to grow a spine and take care of business, it’s here and now, with sweet, sweet Charlotte.

Keep your eyes on Haley Barbour

Posted at April 18, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

Here’s an interesting article about Haley Barbour thinking about a 2012 presidential run.

The more we learn about Barbour, the more we like him.  He was in Chicago a few months ago, and he was a VERY nice man — hilarious, jovial, engaging, kind, and sharp…in that cheeky, Southern, idiom-dripping, lovable way.

He’s one of the people we think would make a great VP pick for Sarah Palin.  He could be a pitt bull for her, knocking Joe Biden around the ring easily. Absent a Palin run, Barbour would, at this point, be the GOP candidate we’d most likely pick for 2012.

Unlike Romney, Pawlenty, Thune, Huntsman, Santorum, and the other potential losers the MSM keeps trying to push for the GOP, Barbour’s got real personality to match his experience and substance.  He’s colorful.  He’s a character.  He’s straight out of central casting for a corpulent, Southern, Republican, conservative candidate that he’s, in our opinion, a GENIUS pick for the ticket, in either slot.

Because the Left wouldn’t know what to do with that.

Who can defeat the most Leftist, anti-American, stereotypical Liberal Democrat…but a walking stereotype of a conservative candidate.

Be that a man like Barbour, or the woman the Left keeps trying to paint as a female equivalent in the Boogeyman department.

What do you know, and think, about Governor Barbour?

He’s definitely someone we are keeping our eyes on and watching with great interest.

Sunday Open Thread: April 18th, 2010

Posted at April 18, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

What’s on your minds this Sunday?

What are people talking about in your part of the country?

****************

Happy Birthday to Trig Palin…the little guy turns TWO today.  Last night in Washington, IL we heard Governor Palin speak and she told us that every morning Trig wakes up, rubs the Sand Man’s dust from his eyes, giggles, and starts applauding.  That’s how the little champ greets each day.  With thunderous applause and laughter.  She says she knows he understands challenges, and that he certainly gets frustrated and has his ups and downs, even at two, but that every morning his natural cheer and kind spirit pops to life the moment he wakes, revved up to start a new day and enjoy it to the fullest.

You better believe we’re going to remember that from now on, every morning we wake up.  Each day is a gift, folks.  It should indeed be met with applause and thanks, for we are all blessed to get a chance every morning to do something incredible, something fun, something joyous, because we’ve been given another day above ground.

Trig Palin’s an angel undercover — with a clear mission to us: to inspire, to challenge, to make us think, and TO LEAD by his simple and heartfelt example.

We’ll have more on the Governor’s speech later today when we have a chance to type up our notes, but we had to share this bit with you, as we all send little Trig our best wishes on his big day.

Happy Birthday Trig!

*********************

This is just too hilarious, so don’t drink anything while reading it, but according to Limelife Magazine, “Jake Gyllenhaal is just looking for the right woman”.

Where?

At MiniBar in Boystown?

Honey, “the right woman” is not going to be found there.  Her brother, on the other hand, could possibly be one of the shirtless bartenders swirling your cosmo.

We’re stunned the article didn’t include a shot of Jakey-G walking with his “unidentified male friend”.  You know, doing bromance stuff.  Hanging with his bud.  Scoping out the chicks.

Fooling no one.

He might have, apparently, the most clueless and deluded talentless publicist in the biz, but Jakey-G is still a dreamboat, and from all accounts, was charming and kind to everyone while visiting Chicago a week or so ago.

It’s sad his team feels the need to do the Rock Hudson/Montgomery Clift/Tom Cruise game, and that his quest for “the right woman” is the storyline these people want to push, but that’s Hollywood for you.

Maybe all of us here will find the “right woman” someday too.  Stranger things have happened, we guess.

Saturday Open Thread: April 17th, 2010

Posted at April 17, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

What’s on your minds today?

What are people in your home towns talking about?

************

HillBuzz is on the road today.  Two of us are headed down to Washington, IL to hear Sarah Palin speak at the Five Points event.

If we get close enough, we promise to make sure the Governor hears how much support she has across the country, in the most unlikely of places — including the lot of us, here in Boystown.  We’re going to tell her to run for president, and we’ll volunteer ourselves for her campaign, in whatever capacity she could use us.  We went all in for Hillary in 2008, and we’ll go all-in for Palin in 2012.

If we can communicate just one idea to her today, we’re going to tell her to take down the word “polarizing” and remove it as a weapon the media can use against her, and against all females running for office. “Polarizing” is the media’s favorite code word to attack women.  They used it against Hillary repeatedly, so that when we campaigned for her in Iowa in 2007 leading up to the Caucus, we saw it really did have an impact on voters, who thought Hillary would not win a general election because she was “too polarizing”.  Remember, many people just parrot what they hear Anderson Cooper or Chris Matthews saying on TV.

So, our idea is for Palin to embrace the word “polarizing”.  Make it her own.  ”Heck yah, I’m polarizing.  And PROUD OF IT”.  Being from Alaska, she can give an Arctic spin to the word.  ”Let’s polarize everything, like we have in Alaska.  There’s a lot of energy up towards the pole.  Let’s polarize our energy policy, and polarize towards energy independence”.

We could even take the polar bear away from the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming and use it as a Palin mascot — because she’s so “polarizing”.

If Palin starts now, taking away the media’s weapons against her, the Left is not creative or resourceful enough to come up with new attacks by 2012.  They’ve been using the “polarizing” thing for 20 years now.  They will not think up a new one in time.

So, that’s our best idea for how to immediately help Palin today.  Just imagine if she would write a Facebook post about the use of this word against women, and started drawing attention to the parallels between what was done to Hillary and what’s being done to Palin now.

Someone needs to expose the media’s orchestration of these attacks against women.  We hope we have the chance to urge the Governor to do this.

On the drive down to Washington, IL, we’ll probably think of other things we want to tell Palin.  And, yes, we will write them on our hands so we don’t forget, because we’ve always done that, and love that the Governor does it too.

We’ll check this thread before the event, so please fill it up with anything you think we should tell the Governor if we get the chance to see her.

If you happen to be going to the event too, drop us an email at HillBuzz@gmail.com and maybe we can meet up and say hi.  There will be a lot of people there, we’re sure, but it’s always fun running into some of you unexpectedly like this.

*****************

UPDATE:  We did get to meet the Governor — and Todd — as well as some very interesting and amazing Americans in central Illinois…as well as a longtime reader, Kathy, and her husband, which was a real treat.

It was a long drive there and back, and quite an adventure, but a full report will be up tomorrow, and hopefully cross-posted over at Convservatives4Palin, too, because the speech the Governor gave was just incredible — and something we think all Americans need to hear.

Todd is even more awesome in person, by the way.  For the record.

Great article on Alexi Giannoulias over at BigGovernment

Posted at April 16, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

Make sure you head over to BigGovernment and read this article on Alexi Giannoulias.

In short, it highlights the weird tea dance Giannoulias is doing, desperately shaking his rump, trying to distract Illinois voters from the fact that he loaned $20 million to the mob and then aggressively checked up on his family’s investment.  He’s now fan-dancing, giving the old razzle dazzle, and channeling some Obama audacity to claim he never really knew what was going on at Broadway Bank, his family’s bank — the MOB’S BANK.  The story, today, is that he just came in every day, looked nice in his suit, smiled at people, pushed some papers around, spun around on his swivel chair for a few hours, barfed, then slap a few assistants on the ass and called it a day.

That’s not the story he told when he ran for Illinois Treasurer, when he said he was the genius behind the bank’s success and the place could not run without him.

That’s when he used his banking experience with the mob as justification for why he should be given the job of Treasurer — which, unlike with glee club or the Sherman Oaks Ladies’ Guild, has monumental responsibilities.

This is Illinois, so we the people who reside here are forever doomed with one corrupt buffoon after another, largely because the media is Leftist controlled and generally looks the other way in terms of Democrats’ corruption.  Before anything’s reported, someone checks to see if there’s a (D) or an (R) after a person’s name.  If the former, they can get away with just about anything save murder. They are even celebrated as weird, anti-heroes. If you are a Republican and so much as sneeze without excusing yourself, you’ll be excoriated nine ways to Sunday.

Illinois is a case study in how bad things can get when the media’s allowed to control the news so lopsidedly.

It’s stunning that more people don’t realize just how crooked and vulgar Giannoulias truly is, and how mobbed-up his entire family remains.

It does not help matters that Mark Kirk is running a shadowy campaign, doing who knows what who knows where, and being almost completely invisible in this race.  Clearly, he’s being advised to stand back and allow Giannoulias to self-destruct.  Perhaps he’s playing with an Easy Bake Oven and amusing himself with light bulb cooked brownies, Claire McCaskill-style.  He sure as heck isn’t out there making the case against Giannoulias, or for himself in this race.

Odd strategy for a very odd bird.

It’s horrible to think Giannoulias could actually win this race and become our next Senator.  Read the article above and pinch yourself, because you aren’t dreaming, or having a waking nightmare, though everything involved in this race is so bizarre we can easily see why you’d think it’s a John Grisham book sprung to life.

More Ninja Throwing Stars From Sarah Palin

Posted at April 16, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

Sarah Palin’s done it again — with gusto.

Read her Facebook post up today smacking the White House for more of the anti-American-exceptionalism garbage the current president so fondly vomits on the world stage.

Tomorrow, we get to hear Palin in person, in Washington, IL at the Five Points event she’s doing.

If any of you are going, maybe we’ll see you there.  If so, we hope you say hi.

You betcha.

Question: How is Liberalism like a cult?

Posted at April 16, 2010 by HillBuzz // Hillbuzz

Lately, we’ve heard “Liberalism” described as a religion, if not a full on cult, to its adherents.

Here in Boystown, many guys are Liberals before they are gay, and we know Jews who are Liberal before they are Jewish.  Meaning, they will blindly support Leftist candidates, because they have a (D) after their names, regardless of if they do anything for the gay or Jewish communities respectively, or even regardless of it they are competent and good public servants.  All these people do is obsess over who is and isn’t “Liberal” — those not in the cult are the enemy, and must be destroyed at all costs.

Here’s an interesting letter we received yesterday, from a reader who works in the nonprofit world here in Chicago.  Tammy’s experience is similar to what all of us have encountered ourselves, because nonprofits and educational institutions are almost always liberal-controlled.  The culture in these workplaces can accurately be described as fascist in its enforcement of Liberalism.  You will not be hired if someone suspects you might be Republican, or even Independent.  They want only loyal, blind-party-voting Democrats on staff.  Voice an opinion that’s not out of the Liberal playbook for approved thought, and kiss any hope of promotion goodbye.  Forget about being treated as an equal or respected for your frame of reference or alternative point of view.  If this isn’t fascism, we don’t know what is.

Have you encountered other examples, in your own lives, of Liberalism as a cult, and its followers as fascists dictating thought at work places or other inappropriate situations?

*******************

Dear HillBuzz,

OK – so it’s taken me a while to finally write up this letter, but I really felt like I needed to finally write it, and in light of an e-mail exchange I had with my friend Stacy last week, it finally spurred me on to write this.

She and I have fallen out over her communist tendencies….it pisses me off so much when she says, “you know, I think communism is wonderful…”

I finally lost it with her one day and was like, shut the f*** up, you don’t know what you’re talking about, you stupid b****.

Talk to anyone my age or older who grew up under this so-called “wonderful” totalitarian regime in Eastern and Central Europe and they can tell you just how wonderful it was.”  Stupid b****.

Not only am I offended for all of those countries that had to quietly suffer behind the Iron Curtain, but I am personally offended because you are completely dismissing what my own family went through, especially the ones who were picked up by black Volgas in the middle of the night by the State Police, never to be heard from again.

Another one of her favorites is, “you know, I just don’t see how you can’t believe in global warming and that we’re causing it.  I don’t think that I can be friends with someone who denies that global warming exists.”  Stupid b****, who clearly doesn’t read anything except Michael Moore’s blog.  And are you serious?  You’re telling me how hateful Republicans are in the same breath that you say that you can’t be friends with someone BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION.  What’s next?  Separate drinking fountains and restaurants?

Again, I ask if you do publish this, or use parts of it, or whatever, just don’t use my real name…and I am actually asking for a very serious reason, basically, I don’t want to get fired or blacklisted at work since I work in such an overwhelmingly leftist environment.  And I do mean rabid, rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, ready to pitbull you in the throat at the first sign of moderate discension.

I work for a children’s charity in Chicago.  We raise money to build playgrounds and improve schools.  Yet, these are some of the most evil people I have ever met in my lives when it comes to lashing out at people who do not think Obama is a new, risen god.

Yes, it has actually gotten to the point where I have to hide my political tendencies.  It’s like working in a cult, except a cult doesn’t try to pretend to be something it’s not.  What happened to spirited debate, and differing opinons, and not being persecuted for what you believe in?

One of my gays on his Faceplace has the following on his profile:
Political Views: Yes We Did
Religions Views: What Would Obama Do?

Well, here’s what Obama would do, Mister Sister.  He’d put you and everyone like you on a ship to be sunken at the bottom of the sea.  Are you a total and complete moron?  Do you really believe that Obama is for the LGBT community?  Idiot.

The fact that I have a US Marine Corps coffee mug gets stares.  I am so f’ing proud of my Stepfather being a Former Marine, and he gave me that mug, and the last time I checked, we were still allowed to express ourselves in this country.  I choose to show my support for the military.  I’m even proud of the fact that my ex is a Lt. Colonel.

Anyway, what I am copying and pasting for you is an emotional response I had to an e-mail of hers which finished by her telling me how stupid and awful Sarah Palin is…she had also forwarded me an e-mail from her friend Anneli, who said some really vile things about Sarah Palin and Republicans in general…the context was that we all talking about how the entire country of Poland is mourning the loss of its President, First Lady and so many important heads of State and Industry, without any political divisions….anyway, Anneli went on to say “I was just thinking that if this happened w/our president, the tea partiers, leaderd by S. Palin, would be rejoicing w/joy, as their hatred has no boundaries.  How sad that we have gone so low.”

I am not sure what “leaderd” means, so maybe Anneli should go back to school, yo.  And the thing about being happy Air Force One crashed, well that’s projecting, because it’s what Anneli and her friends would have done if that was Bush’s plane.

So I had a really emotional response to this, because I was really, really tired of it:

“You really, REALLY need to rethink Sarah Palin’s “stupidity” as you call it.

First of all, all of those millions…she made RECENTLY.  She did not make them BEFORE becoming Governor – that she did ALL ON HER OWN.  She became Governor by being the most ruthless, street smart, female politician out there in recent history.  She might even be smarter than Hillary.  I don’t mean book smart, I mean street smart, Stacy.

She’s stupid, huh.  She is only the SECOND FEMALE VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE in the entire History of the United States.  ONLY THE SECOND.  And what do we do as women – WE SHIT ON HER for her accomplishments…why?  Because we don’t agree with her politics?  Stacy – there are practially NO WOMEN in politics in relation to the number of men, and here is a smart woman, who also has 5 kids, came from NOTHING, and now the entire world knows who she is…not very stupid, if I do say so myself.

So a woman finally makes it to the old boys club, breaks through the glass ceiling, and what do we do as WOMEN??? WE STAB HER IN THE BACK???  This is why women still make less than men for the same job done…because we do not help each other, we only try to hurt each other.  So what – we all have to agree politically in order to help each other…well, wouldn’t it be a f’ing boring world if we were all the same.

And furthermore, so she’s in all the magazines and they’re doing imitations of her on Saturday Night Life…well, they’re stupid at Saturday Night Live, because as you very well know, Stacy, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and she is still in the public eye and everyone is still talking about her.  ALL PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY… it worked for Madonna, but I’ve never heard you call her stupid.  Why – because she’s an artist?  Well, Sarah Palin almost became Vice President – I’d say she’s just as smart, if not more so, than Madonna.

So tell me why you hate her so much?  Tell me what you think about her stance on health care, her stance on oil drilling, her stance on taxes and big government?  You probably don’t even know where she stands on those issues…?  Because for you, and for Anneli, it’s enough to call someone stupid but not explain why…well, I call that stupid. Do you know why she really hates her?  Because Sarah Palin has 5 children and looks like a million dollars and Anneli only WISHES she could look as good as her.

If you actually took the time to look at where she stands on the issues, Stacy, you would realize that 90% of it, YOU AGREE WITH.  But you and Anneli have probably never taken the time to read up on any of that, have you?  No, you call her stupid but have no explanation as to why.  That makes you look stupid.

Sarah Palin is a force to be reckoned with, Stacy, and she is counting on people like you and Anneli who underestimate just how ruthless and intelligent she actually is.  And meanwhile, she’s laughing all the way to the bank.”
