One of the 50 most loathsome people in America: YOU

Charges: You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you. You suddenly give a damn about border integrity, because the automated voice system at your pharmacy asked you to press 9 for Spanish. You cling to every scrap of bullshit you can find to support your ludicrous belief system, and reject all empirical evidence to the contrary. You know the difference between patriotism and nationalism -- it's nationalism when foreigners do it. You hate anyone who seems smarter than you. You care more about zygotes than actual people. You love to blame people for their misfortunes, even if it means screwing yourself over. You still think Republicans favor limited government. Your knowledge of politics and government are dwarfed by your concern for Britney Spears' children. You think buying Chinese goods stimulates our economy. You think you're going to get universal health care. You tolerate the phrase "enhanced interrogation techniques." You think the government is actually trying to improve education. You think watching CNN makes you smarter. You think two parties is enough. You can't spell. You think $9 trillion in debt is manageable. You believe in an afterlife for the sole reason that you don't want to die. You think lowering taxes raises revenue. You think the economy's doing well. You're an idiot.


Exhibit A: You couldn't get enough Anna Nicole Smith coverage.

Sentence: A gradual decline into abject poverty as you continue to vote against your own self-interest. Death by an easily treated disorder that your health insurance doesn't cover. You deserve it, chump.

Strange... this post very much describes the majority of posters at the Bully Pulpit forum at Delphiforums. They become apopletic with insane rage if you suggest they follow the Golden Rule... you know, if you wouldn't like it if someone hijacked your own threads because they politically disagreed with you and if you didn't like it when people launched personal attacks against you, then you probably should not do that to others.

In fact, the frothing-at-the-mouth extremists at the Bully Pulpit will even insist that anyone who dares to suggest the Golden Rule ought to be a guideline for forum behavior absolutely must be banned from that forum.

They really, really hate you for posting the real facts. Truth is anathema to extremists because it is not bendable to extremist talking points.

Pity.
