Crazy, isn't it?

So many people love to hate. I know that sounds like a contradiction. But more and more in America, I'm seeing haters. Devout haters. They hate with a passion. I'm thinking of rednecks. And conservatives. I mean far, far right wing conservatives. Politically. And socially. Many of 'em hate Barack Obama. They think he's a socialist. An agent of the devil. And it doesn't help that he's black. They hate black people in general. They hate Muslims, too. Actually, just about anyone who doesn't share their point of view. Some of 'em are convinced that Obama isn't even an American citizen. And therefore, he shouldn't be president. Some of 'em come to town hall meetings armed. With firearms. Even AK-47s. Because they claim to have the gawd-given American right to bear arms. They think Obama wants that right taken away. Wouldn't surprise me if one of 'em tried to shoot Obama some day. And he'd boast that gawd made him do it. They'd say that Obama got his just deserts. Because they allege that he favors death panels. To determine when grandma should die. In order to save money. I know all this stuff is preposterous. But we have wackos walking around believing it. They're probably insane. But they're ultra conservatives. And they believe they have a right to believe whatever they want to believe. Crazy, isn't it? --Jim Broede
