You will never be able to get anywhere when you do this. You know, most poeple are not extreme conservatives OR extreme liberals. They're right in the middle. And your extreme hatred for Bush and conservatives is only going to make people, who otherwise would be happy to hear what you have to say, stop listening. I have done nothing the past 2 months but read about politics, particularly Christians and politics, liberals versus conservatives, democrats versus republicans. And I am telling you, that the biggest mistake democrats and liberals make is alienate everyone who doesn't think EXACTLY like they do. This is why the Religious Right has so much power- because the liberals fell for the bate. They alienate everyone different from them, and those people who would otherwise be voting democratic, are voting republican, because they feel that they have no where else to go

Get anywhere when I do what? Post two words on my livejournal in order to vent in a way that I understand? I'm not trying to do anything. I don't hate conservatives. I never have. I know plenty of them and am friends with quite a few.
I'm not trying to change anyone's mind on my livejournal. This isn't my political forum. Also, I'm not an "extreme" liberal. I am pro-life, after all.

Pro-life... good point. That's true.
I guess really, I'm not a conservative, regardless of what people might call me. There are many reasons for which I don't "count" as one. You may not be trying to really acheieve anything with your journal, but I must say that when you say things like "fuck conservatives" and your icons and stuff turn even someone like me off. And then I don't read what you say, just because I'm already predisposed to think that you're just an angry liberal- even though you're not. Maybe that doesn't bother you. But you know, the world never changes when good old fat and happy Americans remain in ignorance. You have important things to say. It seems that you do yourself an injustice by not taking the chance you have to share them. But there's no point in preaching to the choir, people who already think what you think will listen. Everyone else doesn't.
Lol, once again you're going at it as though I'm using this journal as a political forum. :-P My picture is what it is because I think it's funny and it says what I think. I don't like Bush. I don't hate the man, but I dislike him. A lot. Lol. I go to Spring Arbor University. You think I'm preaching to the choir? Roflol. You should know better than that. ;-) I had some kid on my facebook yelling at me and calling me ignorant and whatnot because I have a bunch of anti-bush pictures on it. It was ridiculous.
