I’m friends with a dead person from high school on Facebook…
… he gets more birthday greetings than me.
That’s what I thought when you started this blog. Also, I am completely fine with this.
Ren and Stimpy are going to dominate this blog!
I’ve just realized, because I’m old and know things now, that The Justice Friends were a parody of Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk (although I knew the Hulk one when I was little).
We are a liberal society. We are composed of liberal beliefs. Democracy is liberal. Education is liberal. Freedoms are liberal. The First Amendment is liberal. Separation of Church and State is liberal. Innocent until proven guilty is liberal. Our socialist society of civil servants is liberal. Social Security and Medicare are liberal. Free markets correcting themselves is liberal. Freedom of religion is liberal.
Conservatives get to live in this liberal socialist society with all its great and not so great standards. Instead of building on this society as whole, their politicians, pundits, and talking heads find ways to exploit cultural ‘tribal thinking’ and insecurities in certain pockets of the country and develop wedge issues and identity politics to gain supporters.
Their collective goal is to eliminate the very principles and ‘social justices’ that have been in place for centuries. They get to run against liberal ideals they can never eliminate, and for that, the idea that “liberalism” having to be stopped, becomes a meaningless, mindless dogma of the politically confused. You can’t stop it. It is an intrinsic part of the entire country.
Yet, with this canard of “if only we could get rid of liberals”, they yearn to “restore” the country to a time that never really existed. That only they can accomplish. Beware of such ideologies. Conservative Kool-Aid is not the answer. The nature of our country is to include everyone. To take care of those who need help. In this tough economy, now is not the time to forget.

Day 18 of not fucking with my hormones anymore
My skin is still clear.
I’m not constantly thinking about how terrible I am at life.
I’m staying inside all day because it’s cold, I’m playing video games and doing script work, NOT because I’m anxious to leave the house because I think everyone hates me and I might run into all the people that hate me.
I am a generally more happy and less of a humongous bitch.
