Having had to put up with *&%$!!! Republicans, I now got the treatment from a @?>&^!!!! Democrat.

Part of what I had to say to someone who got mad at me because I treated Obama like a human being:

The only thing that is obvious from your bizarre pseudo-arguments is that you are nowhere near as confident as you claim, and that you resent anyone saying anything negative about your attitudes. And that is not words in your mouth, it is my conclusion from your completely absurd behaviour. It is my privilege to draw such conclusions, and as you have been increasingly rude and increasingly aggressive, it is my privilege to say so to your face. Rudeness, defensiveness, aggression, and a complete refusal to consider your own behaviour, are your pattern of behaviour in this exchange. Because I really would miss you from my f-list, I have put up with more from you than I would from most people. I will now do the last thing open to me, which is to state plainly that this is my last word and that anything you say from now on you will be for your own benefit. Jesus Christ almighty, do I have to put with goddamn Republicans teaching me to suck eggs, and then with equally narrow-minded and aggressive Democrats who call me all sorts of names because I do not think the sun shines out of the arse of (any kind of) politicians? I really have had enough of the both of you. You are the mirror image of each other, and where arrogance, defensiveness, aggression, projection, and know-nothingism are concerned, you deserve each other.

I lovingly refer to them as "Republicrats."

Welcome to the two-party American political system. Bleh.

My late grandfather was of the opinion that there was no genuine distinction to either Democrats or Republicans when it came down to business, except for one: the names of the parties.

He was in office (magistrate and later circuit court judge) from the '50s through the early '70s.
