I refer to her as "Hillary." Go ahead, Josh, tell me I'm sexist
and laughably preposterous.

I refer to the witch as "the Cackler."

And fortunately for you, you live in a country where you're allowed
to do exactly that.

And if she gets elected, she'll immediately set about stripping me of
that right, like all socialist dictators do.

Man, you are one angry dude.

Is there something inherent in US politics (or is it politics
generally?) that leads to this sort of vituperative factionalism? Or is
it the way it's reported on? It does seem from some of the views
expressed here that America will tear itself apart over what seem from
here to be quite small differences. Perhaps when the policies are so
similar, all one has is personal attack.

As Beyond the Fringe had it all those years ago, the Americans have two
political parties, the Republicans who are the equivalent of our
Conservative Party and the Democrats who are the equivalent of our
Conservative Party.

Mind you, we now have the Conservative Party who are the equivalent of
our Conservative Party and the Labour Party who are the equivalent of
our Conservative Party.

When Reagan was in office, he and Tip O'Neill (another congenial
Irishman) would have drinks together some evenings, after being
vituperatively opposed to each other during the day.

When [vituperation redacted] were elected, the country immediately began
dividing, which is to be expected when people of absolutely no moral
value or worth are put in power.

So that's your explanation for the division. Now, as I often said to my
children I don't care who started it, what I want to know is, what are you
doing to stop it?.

I do my best to stomp on insane liberals' horrible ideas. They're like
vampires; they have to be invited in, but once they are, it's hard to
find enough stakes for their black hearts.

Josh is no liberal.

he's an imposter.

he's a paid shill for the wacko rightwinged nutters.

yes, i said rightwinged.

if they had two wings they would be flying instead of bitterly trying
to convince everyone else to cut off their left wing.

anyway, no real liberal would ever waste so much time and energy on
honorifics, FFS.
