I have several friends who HAVE to hate Bush--not merely strongly disagree
with individual policies, but actively hate Bush--and anything else is
apostasy, is tergiversation, is personal betrayal. That's how they think. I
can speculate as to whether it's father issues, or their image of
themselves, or something in their personal life that makes this particular
Republican into the Father of All Lies. It doesn't matter. As long as I
don't press their "Bush" button, these friends are charming, lovable, and
devoted. When the "Bush" button is on, their postures change, their speech
patterns change, and one either shares their hate or is pariah, the
"rightwing fanatic" tattoo slowly healing on one's bicep.
What is it with those folks? How many problems do they think their attitude
helps solve? Why can't they oppose without gibbering? I have the same
problem with their fat-headed rightwing counterparts, gibbering on about the
Night of the Liberals and the Curse of the Mainstream Media. I don't know
when or how America got so simple-minded. What happened to nuance and
complexity?
Sincerely, Cassidy Dann
