Hatred

I've been accused this week of being a racist and supporting hate because of the flash animation at the side of the page that has to do with 9/11. In the past I've been called a "hater" for numerous other reasons. Whatever.

Anyway, here's a list of what I do actually hate:

Communism-I don't hate individual Communists because they are generally misguided folks who are looking to either piss off their parents or still believe that the ideology that murdered 100-million innocents during the 20th Century is still viable. I dislike those that say the Soviet Union was not a good example or say things such as "The idea was right, the implementation was wrong". Again I dislike those people but don't hate them.

Socialism-Again, I don't hate individual Socialists, I hate the system. Wealth distribution may work for a few countries such as Sweden but it has led to disaster in France and Germany. Sure, America has a small amount of socialism in our fabric but nothing remotely like the aforementioned countries or our northern neighbor.

Public Broadcasting-PBS and NPR just irk me for some reason. I always hear about the brilliance of All Things Considered and other NPR programs but I just don't see it. If I'm paying for it, it better be non-partisan or at least make an attempt to be that way. With PBS it's Bill Moyers or some dude in glasses asking me for $250 for a Grateful Dead CD I can get for 30 bucks at Borders. Spare me man, if you can't survive without groveling for funds, you shouldn't be in business.

The National Endowment for the Arts-See above. If you need my money to pay you to create art, you might want to think about heading down to Barnes and Noble and filling out a friggin' application.

People Who Do the Speed Limit in the Fast Lane-You know who you are and yes, I really do hate you. It is not your right or responsibility to regulate the speed I drive. They have police that are paid for that. If you are in the fast last and a car is on your ass, you are going to damn slow. You are keeping me from my family or an important appointment. Get the hell out of my way.

Deaniacs-Again, like Communism or Socialism, I don't hate individual Deaniacs, I just hate the whole self righteous air about them. It's kinda cool that you were a part of a grass-roots thing but it ended with an ill-advised tribal scream at the onset of the primaries. Your boy has shown himself to be the best propaganda that the Republicans have had since Jimmy Carter. Still, it's time for him to go.

The Main Stream Media-I know we still need these solipsistic bastards, yet I still can't help but hate the whole of the MSM. I'm nothing but a scrub who has grammar issues, but I at least have some convictions and am not afraid to back up my views when challenged. The sheer arrogance of Mary Mapes and Dan Rather is staggering and is the norm for the media.

Debaters Who Have No Sense of Humor-Life is too damn short, all. When I posted this last week, the Young Communists, er Democrats had a cow and one called me "bitchy". Whatever, lighten up guys, you're in college and should have a sense of humor. You should be out drinking large amounts of beer, scoring chicks (how un-PC of me I know) and then not calling them again (or at least using that traditional college ploy...a pseudonym). Liberalism is so serious these days, if you're not busting on conservatives or Bush, you are lost for material. I don't hate the Young Donks, they just need to lighten up a bit.

More later.
