......................All I can say is............this is hilarious!!!

Just.....freaking......hilarious!

Don't get me wrong, I get it. More than likely this was a malapropism or clerical error of some kind. But seriously, am I the only person who reads what I've typed before I post it. I mean, I do that for this site, emails, texts, pretty much everything I type to send to other people. Now, is that just me, or do you folks do the same thing? I just hope whoever resigned was the one who sent this post out. Because if they still have this guy/gal working with them, I see more trouble on the horizon for the Alamosa Republican Party.

But since they are largely white Christian (or at least conservative) feeling is they should largely get a pass. It is always "them" (insert your favorite minority) who are the problem; you know, shiftless, lazy, good for nothing, having children they cannot afford......
It is ironic, isn't it? I would almost feel sorry for them if they weren't so loathsome & pathetic.

Is Bernie Sanders right? Are people living under socialism better off? Brazil is a good case study. Felipe Moura Brasil, a journalist and Veja magazine columnist, explains how his country has fared under socialism.

Why? It happens to be true, you know it is so otherwise you wouldn't bother being offended.

No, it's not true, it's what you perceive to be the truth and why you are angry about it too. When you blame others for your failures, it gives you an excuse for not doing anything to change your situation..

Blame someone else and you're off the hook from doing anything that will help your situation. But hey, if blaming someone else makes you feel better although it does nothing to improve your situation, if that's the way you want to think and live the rest of your life, nothing will change or get better for you.

Have fun "waiting" for someone else to do what is needed for you?

If you want to get irate about posting false things, then stop posting your silliness about Democrats being socialists. That's far more false.

Republicans hate lots of things. I’d list them all but I don’t want the internet to run out of ink.

This is a screw-up on the level of that tweet about the need for a Disney Princess who has had an abortion.

Stupidity is not limited to either party.

While I am a strong Democrat, and always will be, I do not believe that all Republicans hate poor people, any more than I believe that all Democrats are against the second amendment. There are liberals here who own guns, and one of the most compelling posts I ever read was written by a staunch Republican, protesting Trump's proposed "food boxes" as a replacement for a portion of food stamp benefits.

Can we please - all of us - stop finding the most loathsome examples of "the other guy" to use as arguments? Nothing good can ever come of this.
