I work my ASS off to defray the ****ty way people see Dems. Dems are about protecting freedoms, providing for those who can't provide for themselves (and assisting them until they can), and encouraging the differences -- and teaching others to be tolerant of those differences -- inherent in our nation. Being a Dem asshole is supposed to be the EXCEPTION, not the rule. So, why don't you stop the political and rhetoric equivalent of bragging that your dick is bigger and just grow a HEART?

"Pat in Illinois" wrote in message news:BY8Rk.425288$yE1.319625@attbi_s21... It worked for the Golden Girls! I live that life. I have two very good friends that I'm with a good deal of the time, one of whom is blonde, one very dark hair and my gray hair. We don't share a home, although we have discussed it several times and even went so far as to make a plan on how many bedrooms and bathrooms, whether we need more then one common area for TV and just sitting around and fighting over who gets custody of the kitchen. The kitchen is our biggest problem because no one wants it. We have often said that if any of us got into trouble and couldn't afford to stay in our own home, we would work something out and live together. It could work as long as we all had our own private space and bathroom. Lucille Pat in Illinois Dawne Peterson wrote: "Karen C in California" wrote.. Personally, I've been propositioned by a couple of lesbians who think that because I'm divorced I should hate men. Did I cry on S's shoulder when my relationship broke up? Yeah. Did I find her sexually attractive while I was doing it? No. She just happened to be the nearest person when I got the news. I am 150% hetero; when I got married, it was Hallelujah, I never have to live with women again. Um, not all lesbians hate men. None of my lesbian friends made any such assumption about me when I broke up with a man, any more than I would assume that if one of them breaks off a relationship she now hates women and I should hook her up with a man. And there are many many fates worse than living with women. My Best GFs and I often talk about living together in our old age, and we are not entirely kidding. Dawne |

snip Thank you for pointing that out. We in the Blue States have been expected to laugh at "offensive gloating" for years. The Reds don't like it now that the tables are turned. Perhaps as a "Christian" you should start practicing the Golden Rule. I'm sure you've heard of it being a "Christian" and all..... "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Sound familiar? -- Jeri "You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses." ~Ziggy~ |

I manage to be both a Dem and a Christian. *snort* Then you must have converted on both counts since your original, bigoted, horribly intolerant post. I trust, since you're now a new "convert," we can expect kindness, tolerance and respect for others from you now? You'll pardon me if I choose not to hold my breath waiting for that sort of behavior. However, I can't begin to count how many Reps have made statements in my presence to the effect of "all Jews/Buddhists/Muslims are going straight to hell because they're not Christians". Balderdash. Many of my friends are Reps - Southern Baptist Convention, if you can wrap your tiny mind around it -- and not a SINGLE on has ever Bible-thumped, railed about "going to Hell" or otherwise. And I don't suppose that you're missing that that belief IS a part of each religion's doctrine? EAch religion believes that theirs is the RIGHT one -- otherwise, why in the world would they believe?? (BTW, you're every bit as rabid in protecting YOUR beliefs and YOUR positions -- PKB, anyone?) However, that's not the point in question. BEHAVIOR is the matter at hand. While, yes, I'm sure you've encountered "Bible-thumpers" -- they do exist. Extremes ALWAYS exist and they tend to be the ones most noticed. But to generalize Reps as ALL being BTs is purely asinine, and might I say, moronic. The average Christian -- the ones I'VE met, anyway -- tend to be kind and compassionate. They DO try to make converts, yes. But I've only seen them do it by their acts of kindness as an example. Perhaps the Bible-thumping "You're going to Hell" rap you seem to encounter is simply because YOU bring it out in them? Or perhaps its the water you bragged about in your plagiarized post? Dems are more tolerant of other religions. Yes. Absolutely true. WE are. I don't think you're really a Dem, though. I think you're someone who feels so superior to the average person -- nay, the entire human population -- that you searched and found the most "enlightened" political party you could find. It's not about caring for those less fortunate and making sure their needs are met and their voices heard, for you, it's about being SUPERIOR and getting to tell others what they should do and shouldn't do. Honestly, you're a self-centered, self-righteous twit who hides behind MY party for the status it gives you. And the protection and validation it gives your holier-than-thou espousals. I suspect if you had been of the age of majority then, Eugenics might be something you'd think a good idea. While perhaps not the outright murder, certainly the internment and sterilization advocated. A Dem, you are not. -- dark.angel |
