Yep, I actually had someone say this to me.
I told them in no uncertain terms that we were all paying for those tax cuts dearly. At the gas pump. In the grocery store. When we go to the doctor, buy prescription drugs, or pay our utility bills.
I also told them the only ones who aren't feeling the pinch are the wealthy, who are receiving a disproportionate tax cut, compared to their earnings, and they are the only group who likely wouldn't feel the pinch of a tax increase at all.
Then I flat out told him that I was sick of stupid idiots like him defending a sinking ship. I told him if he and others like him were standing on the deck of the Titanic with water up to their knees, they'd likely say the ship wasn't sinking, and insist that the band continues to play and wonder where their drink order is.
And then I said that I was sick of people like him walking around pretending to be righteous and wearing blinders, and that if he'd turn off Rush and Bill and Sean for a change, and go find sources for REAL NEWS without the spin, he might learn a few things about the lies he's been fed all along.
I told him he disgusted me, and that I could no longer be his friend because he lacked the ethics, morals, and values that I find important in my life. And then I told him despite what he may believe, those values are sorely lacking in the Republican Party.
I told him Bush's view on supporting the troops was sending them off to their deaths based on lies, and then ignoring their health care issues when they returned missing body parts.
I told him the GOP's conservative values have placed the health of America's children secondary to military contracts in Iraq, again, a war BASED ON LIES.
I told him the GOP's fiscal policies have resulted in the highest deficit EVER, and the MOST WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT EVER.
And as for Bush being a good Christian man, I asked him to consider how a good Christian man could send these young men and women off to die without proper protection, a plan, or a valid reason to fight a war.
I concluded by telling him that if he continues to support these people, I cannot and will not be his friend because I find these people, who are corrupt liars and murderers, and the people who enable them to do these things by their support, offensive to the human race, and not worth the time of day.
As I walked off, he just stood there with his mouth open. Literally.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! WAKE UP, IDIOTS!! The rest of us have to suffer for your laziness and ignorance!!!
