A Helpless Unsettling Feeling is Slowly Growing

Strangest Tribe

Something wicked this way comes...

There are no answers, no fast solutions.

This country is as divided as ever.

McCain wins...better cancel your travel plans to see the world, we won't be welcome.

Obama wins... the nut cases here at home will have a revolution started within a year.

It's pretty scary

move to Canada.

They're not going to take on 50+ million immigrants or possible refugees.

Really?

Don't goad me into transcribing what your own imagination can concoct...

Honestly, the hate groups in this nation are scary, and that combined with the hair trigger of something as simple as the outcome of the Rodney King trial (if your memory should serve you) can illicit such an emotional violent outcome.

I'm voting Obama...

I just hope our country has found some collective ease and social acceptance in it's civility since the turmoil and hate-filled 60's.

do you ever venture far from your comfort zone?

try it sometime.

It's not a very long walk for me.

there was an interesting thread going this morning that got locked before some issues could be properly addressed.
Makes you wonder what can be discussed around here.

Does anyone else here live where they are afraid to place an Obama 08 sign in their yard?

Around here they don't speak of "if" he gets assassinated it's "when"...

and some around here are saying the only way they'd place an Obama sign in their yard is the day "it" happens they'll place the sign in their yard in hope that the blacks won't burn their house down when "it" happens.

If you think the hatred of the right wing, mask wearing KKK towards Obama is stronger than the left wing hatred of Bush, then you are wrong, imo.
The only thing we are more afraid of is Cheney having to step in.

OK, let me ask you, would you wear an Obama 08 t-shirt into a country diner/coffee shop where known clan sympathizers often frequent?

Nevermind

let me get this straight...

you live in some racist, white-supremacist area of the U.S.... and you think that if Obama wins, then these 'known clam sympathizers' will start a revolution within a year?

sadly, I have to agree with spyguy: what year are you living in?

I wish I was making this shit up... but it's pretty scary how people are where I live.

and no, moving is not a viable option, I farm...my family business for nearly 120 years.

The known Democrats around here are tightlipped about their presidential choice. We will keep it secret all the way to the ballot box.

And it's not the low rent rednecks that scare me... It's the racist that live in 3 story mansions and drive Cadillac Escalades that are scary...

They can passive aggressive your shit right to financial ruin.

But that's not expected to be understood by someone living in some flat in a metropolitan area.

Yesterday... true story... conversation at local gas n go

Redneck 1: "Look redneck2 there's an Obama sticker on that car out at the pump."

Redneck2: "prolly one of those nigger lovers from the college, got a feelin we're gonna start seeing a whole bunch of those here directly.."

Redneck1: "yeah, I gotta get me one of those signs to put in my yard when they kill him so those crazy coloreds don't burn my house down...hahahahaha"

Sheriff deputy1: "redneck1 I bet if I offered you a free dinner you wouldn't put an Obama sign in your yard?"

Redneck2: "he wouldn't do that for a new Coyote tractor...hahahaha!"

Redneck1: "no fellas... can't say that I would nor Hillary either"

Redneck2: "Sheriff, what do you think... he got a chance?"

Sheriff1: "I don't see it happenin, but you can rest assured there's gonna be some screaming from some of those people before it's all said and done."

Sheriff2: "yeah, we've already discussed election night... We've been keeping an eye on those Obama signs so we know where to expect trouble.."

Redneck2: "well when they shoot him it'll be worse than him losing the election.."

Sheriff2: "either way...fellas... Either way"

I just sat there and grinned the whole time.

I can only vent here.
