Are Republicans Evil?
I have long thought that one of the striking differences between liberals and conservatives is this: liberals believe conservatives are evil, while conservatives believe liberals are wrong. Stein recounts something his friend Marlene told him, which makes the point. “[S]omeone I’ve known for 27 or 28 years actually said to me, ‘Marlene, I know you’ve worked with the mentally ill, so I know you care about people. But how can you be a good person and a conservative?’”
I don’t know about you, but as a conservative, I have actually felt this hatred. I can honestly say that I have never for even one minute thought democrats were “evil”, but I can attest to the fact that they think this way. It really is quite sad, since (with some exception in both parties) most peope, dems or GOP loyalists all want what they feel in their mind is the very best for America.
The article goes on to give several examples like this one:
He describes another encounter with a liberal, a guy he knew slightly, this time in the supermarket. Stein nodded to acknowledge him, when suddenly, “he spat out: ‘You people disgust me!’” All this guy actually knew about Stein was that he’d written a conservative book. “‘You’re disgusting,” he sputtered, swiping up his shopping bag and stomping away. ‘You sicken me!’”
It really is quite sad when people become so opinionated they resort to personal attacks.Whether it’s the GOP or the Dems, both have there problems but neither are evil.
