People make assumptions about people like you and me because they don't know us, they only read shit we post on forums like this one. You and I have previously made assumptions about each other that we realized were wrong, which is why we still chat sometimes.
Tis true.
Today the only assumptions I've made were about the OP, which was mere troll bait since it had no real point aside from your "you guys vs. us guys" comment. Which (regardless of who says it) always rings the "simple minded" bell in my cranium.
This thread is over a year old. Im sure at the time I created it, it was quite possible that "the Luft" was heavily ingesting such nonsense like they were at a Chinese buffet.
Mockingbird was hard at it before, but has been in Overdrive the past 2 decades, and even more when Obama signed into law that the government could lie to its citizens.
The Puppet Masters are easily manipulating the Left, by playing their tune, while at the same time working them up into a frenzy.
While those on the Right, have awakened, in MASS, at the manipulation in the media. And we are outraged.
I guess the reason I'm replying is the same reason that got me started in this thread. I think it's a poor choice to go in for the kind of binary thinking the puppetmasters want BOTH you and me to go into. I know that in RL, only about 30 per cent of my friends are what I would call "left" or "right." Everybody else, while they would not call themselves "middle", still embrace ideologies from both sides of the spectrum.
Im not gonna lie man. I was more Left growing up. I was raised to think "Repub = for Rich, Demo = for poor". So I was Demo growing up to a degree, cause thats what Mom preached. My Dad preached the same thing when he came around into my life in my teens. When I got old enough to vote, things were changing it seemed. At least started heading that direction. I think just before I was old enough to vote, Ross Perot seemed like a good person to vote for, but I wasnt 18 just yet, I think. After that, I never saw a person I liked, until Ron Paul. They FUCKED Ron, by changing the rules in the last quarter of the ball game, hell the last few minutes! They said it was to "insure that no other grass roots movement has a chance again". So Ron couldnt run, though he qualified by the rules til the end. Thats when I knew shit was rigged. But Ron was Libertarian, and ran under the Republican ticket. Libertarian is what I am. I am neither RepubliCant, nor DemonRat. I never even was interested in politics until it started affecting MY life! Now, its like "fuck this shit!!! Im here now motherfuckers!!" lololol. Started about 14 years ago. Was heading that way before, but 2008 is when I was full on studying, and trying to figure shit out.
I could tell you things, but it is PI on my family. Things that would seal the deal on any doubts you have of me. As I can empathize with some left things, even though I lean right these days. The media is pushing this wedge, and its in overdrive, as I said. THEY are pushing this divide. Hence the OP.
Just remember, I am Libertarian, and that means do what you want, so long as it dont hurt me or anyone else.
