Such enlightening and informative fodder!
 
Your deeply held beliefs are to be admired. They really helps move the needle forward in our country.
Sure can't call you narrow-minded or discriminatory, can we?

Thanks for sharing!

PS. Meant to ask, will you take just your share of Social Security and Medicare, as well as the entire Bush administration, with you?

Divorce Agreement Rejected

Dear American Conservatives, Righter, Slave Owners, Priates, Klan Members and backward supporters, et al:

You divorce agreement is being rejected for the following reasons:

•     Lack of definition as to just what liberal is on how exactly this is somehow anti American.  It is a common psychologicial response of someone in fear to place blame for preceived wrongs and ill upon innocent object and people.  The Psychological terms are commnly called "Projection, Displacement, Scapegoating and Phobias".  I have sought repeatedly for your parties to give a concise and clear definition of what this means and have received no consistent answer as to what the term liberal means, other than to recieve a tirad of hate and bigotry and threats and condemnation for asking questions, not just to me but toward my family and friends as well.  Mostly the threats are implied, not often they are open, but a dagger in the shadows is just as deadly as a dagger in the open.
•       To have a divorce implies intimacy and at least a past relationship based upon love.  I have no idea  who you are.  You have never promised to cherish me and keep me in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, to love me all the days of my life for as long as we both shall live.  You were not there at my bedsides comforting me when my mom died as I held her hand, you were not there when my father died of heartbreak 1 month later of loosing his partner of almost 50 years.  You were not at the graveside when I buried both, or had to settle their estate or to fight off the greedy conservative vulture who tried to steal away the estate like she had done to my grandfather who she had locked away from the family in a substandard retirement home where he eventually died before my dad could rescue him.  This same vulture by the way had only me advocating for her where her righetouess church and friends left her on the floor of her home 4 days unable to rise, resulting in her eventual death and amputation of her legs.  And still this loving creature left all that she stole from our grand parents in the hands of strangers.  Where were you to protect us or her? You were not there ever when my son was diagnosed with Autism and I disovered this great republican system was the one who had decimated research into preventing and combating autism in the first place, which meant little or no help as my wife and I paid out of pocket to the point of bankruptcy in making sure he was cared for.  You are never there at his IEP meetings, advocating on his behalf.  Your party declares him a drain on the system, not better than an illegal who you see takes money from America's mouths and wastes it away.  Who else besides me, stands betweeen you and him.  You who would kick him in the teeth and then kick him again for mumbling.  You have never once been to my house, or I to yours(you never invited me), to break bread and just fellowship or just to be in the company of friends.
  •     
•      Where were you when I was paying my own way through college and grad school? Working two jobs, paying repairs on my own car etc.  along with full time tuition cost and the outrageous costs of books with no scholarships or finanicial aid.  You were not there to lend any moral support or offer resources and after I graduated the only time I heard from you was when you called me a Socialist and Liberal because I educated myself at my own expense and didn't tithe or put money into your political ponzi schemes.  I got called socialist because I questioned instead of blindly following political party lines or established church doctrine (yes, I left the church and had the gall to approach God on my own and he answered).  I got called socialist because some of my best friends are gay and lesbians or somehow don't fit the mold.  The same people mind you who were there always for me when needed and not needed.   I got called socialist because I dared help those in need and advocate for those who needed help.  Homeless, Disabled Veteran, black, white, asian etc. rich and poor alike.  It didn't put me in a corporate office where I could robb at will the American people, skip out on paying taxes, keep a double set of account records which differ from another and toss the occasional gnawed bone to the masses.  However, it gave me great satiisfaction to relieve the suffering of many and help them piece back together their lives and very few thanks I got, but I wasn't looking for thanks, I was looking to help.  It's called service, but that too seems to be bad because any small compensation I get for rendering service, I get accused of robbing and milking the state coffers (interesting to note again from those who do not know me).  Even my well earned rest egg is called into question, even though retirement means I will make much less than I do now which is a struggle to make ends meet even living within our means.

Therefore I propose there is no divorce because there never was a marriage.  we can't even have an annullment because you were never there to even consider consumation or lack thereof.  This is an illusion created by a deep seated psychosis which needs immediate psychological attentions.  However, I regret to inform you that service is no loner available.  You see, Mental Health Services have all been decimated in California.  It doesn't matter whose fault it is, that is the fact.  Your policy has worked fantasticlly.  You've alienated the only ones who could have helped(by insisting your party alone was the savior of mankind) and now that the final hour has struck you are out of meds and the delusion is full blown but there is no one to help, not even a padded room or spare straight jacket.  No one but us who you have labeled liberal, homo lover, socialists etc. and every other vile name you can pull from the depth of your poisionous unconscious rotted soul.  The difference is we still offer you the help, even though time and again I've had to knock the knife from your hand before you can slide it across the throats of those I love.

There is one other consideration and that this was a forced marriage, which in reality equates to slavery.  If that is the case, my delaration is one of freedom as opposed to a rejection of divorce.  You are no longer my master, really you never were but now therapy is in order for you and that calls for a brutal presentation of the truth openly so there is no misunderstanding and witness to your own liberation ann chance at freedom.  The ball is in your court to take it.  If you do or don't doesn't matter to me, I'm not responsible for your ills but I am here to help which is more than you really deserve from me.  If the boat sinks, I will help you but if you drag me under I will let you go to the depths unless you stop fighting me and work with me to get you to shore or someplace where you can hang on.  The time for adulthood is at hand, grow up and stop jumping up and down in the boat throwing tempertantrums and all of us may make it to shore.  Otherwise, over the side you go.

Dear Wolf.  I read your post with interest. First I must say I am sorry about the problems that you have encountered in your life time.  I guess we have all had some problems, many of us like you have worked our way through college without help from the government.  Somehow some of us made it work and don't blame everyone for the trouble. 

I hope you life turns around and you can enjoy what you have left.

TallTrees.  Please don't get me started on Social Security and Medicare until you become fully familiar with why they are is such ruin today.  Every change for the worse in Social Security was made during the regime of a Democratic President.

Have a good day all.

Bvjack,thanks for the well wishes.  I have to make it clear at no time I expected any one to help me out, coming from a depression era family it was a rugged individualism and by our own bootstraps all the way ethic that drove our family, and it worked very well for us.

My objections come to the overall application of the labels and name calling (not by you) but by folks who have no clue as to who or what I am, but nevertheless are too eager to see me as an adversary because I don't share the same political beliefs.  Honestly I've got to the point of not caring what they think about me, and honestly at times turn it to my amusement.  However, they don't stop at me but continue to move on to my family and thus as a parent, I have to think of the potential risk such actions infer.  The point being judgement is passed without even knowing ME as a person,and the labels all too easily applied without thought to the repercussions or logic behind it.  What i posted here is not even 1/100th of who I am or my life expierence, yet minus that small amount of info many presume to know myself and motives so I approche it as an open inquiry and take the tact "if you don't want to know, don't open that door even if it is unintentionally being opened-assuming that I will answer anyways."

I believe political ideologies etc.  can be laid aside.  But it takes a huge amount of effort and a shift in thinking that many people are not willing to make because it entails some major and often time unpleasant introspection and asking oneself some very hard and difficult questions 

Wolf.  Thanks for the intelligent and polite response.  I do agree with you on a lot of what you say.  Have a good day.

Wolf, thanks for sharing your sensitive, personal stories - A perfect, real-life counterpoint to the nonsensical ideals promoted by BVJack's trying-to-be-clever-and-don't-care-who-I-hurt post.

BVJack -
1) Ignorance breeds contempt.
2) Ignorance is bliss.
3) Contempt is not bliss.
4) You are missing bliss.
5) When you find bliss, you have found truth.

If I posted an "I don't care who I hurt post" then please accept my apology.  I did not try to hurt anyone and perhaps I am not as intelligent as Tall Trees who seems to be able to read into my posts what wasn't meant to be there.

Tall Trees,  I appreciate your humor and I do not take exception to your last post.  I think we may see things differently politically however that is no reason for us to take jabs at each other. 

Enjoy the great hill area and have peace in your heart.

BVJack

See Bill Maher's input that, though humorous, is particularly relevant to this discussion:

Bill Maher: New Rule - The Party of Stinkin'

Enjoy - or not - as the case may be.

Bill Maher does have quite a sense of humor. Wonder why the liberal NBC kicked him off and he had to go to HBO to get a show?

the clever thing about the title, The Party of Stinkin', is that it's up to you to add the last word (ha): liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, whatever. If you're going to tell truth to power, it helps to be somewhat independent.
