Sanity -> RE: Where is the compassion? (3/19/2010 8:24:54 PM)

You are so full of yourself. What you're seeing are Conservatives rising up to the level of confrontation they've faced for years now, while the left was insane over their lack of power. And I see that same far left insanity ramping up because they can clearly see their power slipping away due to the laughable incompetence of their "leaders" in Washington.

Well... in a word, yes. Fear and hatred. Hatred of anything different, and fear that someone somewhere who sees the world differently will want something of theirs. This is America today, and this video is a sickeningly succinct example of how the health care debate of this past year has so completely changed my view of America and Americans. It's like when you have a family member who's always been a little bit off and hard to get along with, and you never really cared all that much for him to begin with - and then one day at a family reunion he gets blind drunk and you finally see him for the complete asshole he's really been all along.
On one level, you kind of knew it, because it was all there to see... but you didn't really see it all, because you just didn't want to see it all. But now you have no choice, because the drunken bastard is pawing your 12-year old sister right in front of your eyes. That's what you're seeing right now in America - the ugliest side of an already-ugly people, in their fullthroated, unashamed, xenophobic rage. And no matter how this turns out over the next 2 days, a lot of us will never be able to see the country the same way again. One way or another, people are finding out a lot about the country they're living in.
