My previous posts on this subject may have been vague on this point, though I don't think so. My reference to "the average American" and "southerners" in particular seemed to offend some. I admit that this is purely conjecture on my part, but it was "the average American" and "southerners" in particular that elected this current regime into power (with a little help from the Supreme Court), if I am not mistaken.
And it is "the average American" and "southerners" in particular who have rolled over and licked their nuts as these sycophants have ravaged the housing market, the banking industry, employment, health care, Social Security, our food supply, OUR TOY SUPPLY, and the list goes on (and on and on and on), not to mention all the mass murder that has been committed in YOUR FUCKING NAME around the world in all of those pesky little third world countries that have no rights at all to begin with (apparently). And all so you can buy, buy, buy until the wheels fall off of your SUV... and the fucking economy, too.
Forgive me for comparing "the average American" and "southerners" in particular to this psychopath which walked into a church and opened fire, which I didn't think that I did. I just called them all MORONS. But for what it is worth, perhaps these apathetic people of which I speak are not that different from him.
I have been screaming at the top of my lungs for over a decade and all it has gotten me is divorced and a heart attack. Oh, and one of you right wing pricks tried to take my fucking home away from me. (But that doesn't count. I'm a left wing nut that doesn't deserve to have a home of his own!)
And as it turns out, this psychopath was merely doing the bidding of your right wing mouth pieces at Faux News, or Fox Noise, or whatever the fuck they are because they aren't fucking news! They are hate mongers! Tools of the War Machine!
So, forgive me for stepping out of your little fantasy world of "everybody's nice". Because they most certainly are not, my friend. Forgive me for not burying my head in the sand and in my ass as the world comes apart at the hinges! And it is all made possible by all of you "everybody's nice" pricks.

I'm getting to the point that I can't look at the wreck we have all ALLOWED to happen, as we kept telling ourselves that "everybody's nice" and that everything would work out. It WILL work out. Just not the fairy tale ending that you have envisioned.
Hold on to your seats folks. We are attacking Iran as you read this. Our economy is crumbling as you read this. Capitalism is in its last throes. Your world, and mine (thank you very fucking much) is about to change into something that we can't even imagine.
And I assure you that it ain't gonna be nice.
Cucaracha.
And I bid you farewell.

From the Knoxville News Sentinel:
Police found right-wing political books, brass knuckles, empty shotgun shell boxes and a handgun in the Powell home of a man who said he attacked a church in order to kill liberals "who are ruining the country," court records show.
Knoxville police Sunday evening searched the Levy Drive home of Jim David Adkisson after he allegedly entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and killed two people and wounded six others during the presentation of a children's musical.
Adkisson targeted the church ... "because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets."
Adkisson [said] that "he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them in to office."
Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.
The shotgun-wielding suspect in Sunday's mass shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church was motivated by a hatred of "the liberal movement," and he planned to shoot until police shot him, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said this morning.
Adkisson, 58, of Powell wrote a four-page letter in which he stated his "hatred of the liberal movement," Owen said. "Liberals in general, as well as gays."
Adkisson said he also was frustrated about not being able to obtain a job, Owen said.
Owen said Adkisson specifically targeted the church for its beliefs, rather than a particular member of the congregation.
"It appears that church had received some publicity regarding its liberal stance," the chief said. The church has a "gays welcome" sign and regularly runs announcements in the News Sentinel about meetings of the Parents, Friends and Family of Lesbians and Gays meetings at the church.
Owen said Adkisson's stated hatred of the liberal movement was not necessarily connected to any hostility toward Christianity or religion per say, but rather the political advocacy of the church.
The church's Web site states that it has worked for "desegregation, racial harmony, fair wages, women's rights and gay rights" since the 1950s. Current ministries involve emergency aid for the needy, school tutoring and support for the homeless, as well as a cafe that provides a gathering place for gay and lesbian high-schoolers.
