How bright does your hatred burn?

[Harper_is_Bush]

I don't like to hate, and will avoid it at all costs.

My hatred of Bush and his cabinet has become intense though. It reminds me of all the hatred I've witnessed from the rightwing, and that isn't a good feeling.
Sometimes I lay awake in bed trying to get to sleep, and day(night)dream about kicking Bush in the balls as he comes past me to shake hands. How nasty is that....kicking a guy in the nuts when he reaches out to shake your hand!!!
The thing is though I think of him now in the same light I would consider a child rapist or a serial killer. Imagining some physical retribution on such a person (especially if you have some personal stake in thier crimes) is a satisfying thing.

Even as I watch his downfall and feel assured that his chapter in history will be a shameful one, it gives me no joy or relief.

If you're a thinking man I believe Bush and his cabal of foreign policy puppet masters have had a deeply negative impact on your sensibilities. That's my take on it.

1. the corporate elite scares me more.

They buy out both sides and play we, the voters, as chumps.

[Jed Dilligan]

29. Us

They play US, the voters, FOR chumps. If we're all going to hell in a handbasket we might as well write properly on the way down.

[donheld]

31. the corporate elite is right

more people better wake up to this fact.

2. Not as much as yours. I'm in my seventies and hate accomplishes

nothing.

Get out and work for the poor in your local community,get active politically,do something constructive.

This too shall pass.

[Harper_is_Bush]

13. Not as much, meaning you still do.

I do Amnesty work. I am politically active also (can't let Bush-light Stephen Harper squeek in here!)

I know hate doesn't serve us. I'm not 70, but I"m more than half way there. I feel like I'm purposely wallowing in this Bush-hate not only because he's so deserving of it due to his crimes against America and humanity but also because I believe I can withstand it.

And I'm a Canadian. I can't imagine how most Americans must feel about the man. His leadership is a curse and a sickness on your nation.

[GrumpyGreg]

26. Oddly enough the country is divided about 50-50 on Bush---it

boggles the mind !

[Taxloss]

3. I don't hate Bush or his cabal.

Well, maybe a bit, but hatred is a useless emotion.

Posterity will judge them appropriately. And there is no appeal against that.

4. white

[seabeyond]

5. i dotn hate. i DO love. so lite is pretty brite, wink n/t

[benddem]

6. this is probably

why they don't let us into *'s speeches. It would be a riot.

[Harper_is_Bush]

17. I HATE that they don't let all Americans attend.

Just another of many reasons to hate them.

[Erika]

7. I don't hate W - I have No respect for him or his policies

I hate the power he has to make decisions on our behalf that are destroying this once great country.

[fooj]

8. With the intensity of 1000 suns...

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[Occulus]

24. You beat me to it, but I'll expand...

With the white hot intensity of 1000 exploding suns

9. a friend of mine couldn't take it and disconnect his internet and cable

2 weeks after the 04 election

some days I think about how much much happier he must be, but I have to have the web

[AnnInLa]

10. I have never HATED politicians before,

have disliked them, have distrusted them, have laughed at them, have scorned them, have been cynical about them.....but this administration and the puke party, I absolutely HATE. If they were on fire, I wouldn't piss on them. It's a new feeling for me....am getting used to it, and now I like my hate. I'm worried about me.

[Harper_is_Bush]

14. You'll be OK.

If you got it, then just keep it focussed where it belongs and don't allow it to jade anything else.

My advice, for what it's worth (not much!)

[warrior1]

11. I'll admit it

ten thousand million suns.

[UTUSN]

12. Hatred? I Don't Have That Shit. Is There a Problem? n/t

[Harper_is_Bush]

16. Problem? I dunno, denial maybe? n/t

[UTUSN]

19. Hatred? I Don't Deny that Shrub Is a P.o.S -----Do YOU? n/t

[Harper_is_Bush]

20. You lost me.

[KharmaTrain]

15. A Thin Line Between Love And Hate

To hate someone or something, you must have loved or cared about it at one time. I've never loved nor cared about anything Repugnican...nor ever will. I think apathy and disgust fit my feelings.

So when we gonna get out the torches and pitchforks? Huh?????

[pennylane100]

18. I have to choke down the rage I feel for him.

I spent two days in bed after the first time he got selected, knowing that he would be the very worst thing that could happen to this country. But I still didn't think he would be this bad.

[Harper_is_Bush]

21. Well, who could have imagined he would be this bad? n/t

[Dances with Cats]

22. pretty hot

pretty bright....

[chat_noir]

23. Image my rage

Last night I rewatched "Fahrenheit 9/11", and tonight I watched "Bush's Brain". My jaws hurt from clenching them, and my middle finger is spastic, having been given a real workout :grr: :grr:

[NI4NI]

25. The SDS and the Weathermen

Now that was hate! Hate against so many of the same things that we all oppose here today thirty years later; Only back then, they literally shook the shit out of the powers of greed, corruption, and disdainers of human decency and mother earth.

[GrumpyGreg]

27. Please don't romanticise them ----some of the "revolutionaries"

in the 6o's and 70's were just plain nuts.

A neighbor of mine was killed by some of the "revolutionaries" from Brandeis University.

They were ugly times.

[Doc_Technical]

28. When my brother accused me of hating G.W. *, I told him,

"When someone throws a turd at you do you hate the piece of shit?"

[Jed Dilligan]

30. Flickering

I'm just getting older. I hated him as much as I ever WOULD hate him from the 2000 debates on. Now I don't have the energy to hate as much, I guess it peaked again in Oct. '04, now it's about rebuilding my own life after years spending half my time hating someone who doesn't give two shits about me...

[FreedomAngel82]

32. I know how you feel

I've never felt this much anger for someone before like I do Bush. *sigh* It's a weird feeling for me hating someone like this and makes me uncomfortable sometimes, but I know it's also healthy to not bottle up my emotions. So it's nice to keep a journal and rant and rave and have a place like here at DU. :)
