Skinner asks the DUmmies, "Do you ever get tired of hating?"

With his THREAD, "Do you ever get tired of hating?" Head DUmmie Skinner has caught his DUmmies on the horns of a dilemma. On the one hand, of course they really do HATE President Bush, Republicans, conservatives, Christians, normal people, et al. On the other hand, as liberals, they know they are not SUPPOSED to hate, since they think of themselves as the people of Peace, Love and Tolerance. So let us now all join hands and sing Kumbayah as we watch the DUmmies swing back and forth between their inner cauldron of boiling rage and their outward self-image as the Tolerant Ones, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson--filling in for the exhausted Newsbuster, PJ-Comix--is in the [brackets]:

Do you ever get tired of hating?

[Do you ever get tired of overseeing the insane asylum called DUmmieland, Skinner?]

There has been a lot of hate on DU recently.

[You couldn't be referring to the slams directed at the now granite-cookied Party Pooper Pitt, could you?]

I think it's safe to say that I hate George W. Bush.

[I think it's safe to say that BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) is universal in DUmmieland.]

I actually get tired of hating Bush sometimes.

[At those times you switch to hating Cheney, Rice, Limbaugh, the Pope, weak Democrats in Congress. . . .]

And if you do hate sometimes, do you act in a way that contributes to the atmosphere of pervasive and relentless negativity (or even hate) that sometimes takes hold here on Democratic Underground?

[So now let's hear from the pervasively and relentlessly negative DUmmies, as they are caught between their true feelings and their peaceful self-image. . . .]

I see it most clearly in religious types.

[This DUmmie considers "religious types" as the real "haters." Ironic, because I have long held that DUmmieland is FUELED by its hot hatred of Christianity.]

Around here, I see it frequently directed AT "religious types."

[DUmmie Common Sense Party wins a Kewpie Doll for a brief moment of mental clarity.]

Skinner, I hear you and Want to Say Something Here. A few of us were at the Yearly Kos over the weekend. It was extraordinary and for me, a haven for political junkies. . . .

[Now this is something SKINNER hates! Kos has blown by DU as a "player" in the political blogosphere--due in some degree to Skinner's own passivity in running his forum.]

After almost seven years of BushCo, the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning is the possibility of hammering another minuscule tack into the empire. . . . at the core is a barely contained simmering rage. . . .

[Kumbayah, my Lord, kumbayah. . . . Continue with your rant, DUmmie warren pease. . . .]

So I'll stay pissed until the stakes are pounded into what's left of the hearts of these vampires and eagerly await their day at The Hague. . . . Now that would turn anger into boundless joy. . . .

[WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!]

I hate Cheney and Rove. I really just feel sorry for Bush.

[OK, that makes it all right then.]

Fusion of the polarities. The challenge of our era: STEEP STEPS TO 2012. . . . We live in a world of polarity: day and night, man and woman, positive and negative. Light and darkness need each other. They are a balance. Just now the dark side is very strong, and very clear about what they want. They have their vision and their priorities clearly held, and also their hierarchy. They are working in many ways so that we will be unable to connect with the spiral Fifth World in 2012. . . .

[Makes sense to me, DUmmie SpiralHawk. Please continue. . . .]

As Mr. Barrios sees it, the dark side works to block fusion through denial, hate, and materialism. It also works to destroy those who are working with the light to get the Earth to a higher level. They like the energy of the old, declining Fourth World, the materialism. They do not want it to change. They do not want fusion. They want to stay at this level, and are afraid of the next level. . . . The dark power of the declining Fourth World cannot be destroyed or overpowered. It’s too strong and clear for that, and that is the wrong strategy. The dark can only be transformed when confronted with simplicity and open-heartedness. This is what leads to fusion, a key concept for the World of the Fifth Sun. . . .

[When the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars. . . .]

I personally never get tired of hating W, Cheney and the other Bush losers.

[Spoken like a true DUmmie!}

I'm drawing back somewhat, so I can rebuild my energy, I have a feeling that September is going to be a long hot month, and hate is going to spike.

[Try to reenter that kind of September. . . .]

Bush and Reagan, maybe. . . . I hate Reagan, more than I hate Bush. . . . Reagan, I just absolutely hate with a deep passion I'm not even sure I understand. . . . I still hate him. I don't even feel bad about hating him. . . . I hate Reagan. . . .

[Let me see if I've got this straight: You hate Reagan.]

I get tired of seeing the hate shown to certain people here. The "certain people" I'm talking about valuable DU members who put their hearts into getting information to us that the media won't touch. We should always appreciate that, even though if the information they learned behind the scenes didn't pan out due to later circumstances.

[Could the "certain people" getting the hate be--oh, I don't know--a certain "journalist" whose truthout scoop "didn't pan out"?]

I will never get tired of hating Bush until he's marched in front of The Hague and put on trial for war crimes. Him and his whole crew -- Cheney, Feith, Perle, Novak,Rove, Rumsfeld, Rice.

[The Million Man Frogmarch to the Hague!]

This week, I'm writing all 57 of our Dems who voted w/ W on FISA. . . . I bought some stickers of footballs, baseballs, and basketballs this week...guess what I'm going to be saying to those 57 Dems...FIND YOUR BALLS! Oh, and I bought stickers of EGGS for our women Reps...FIND YOUR OVA!

[I'm guessing Barney Frank was not among the 57, because I don't know what kind of sticker you would use for him.]

There's always time to write these cards...usually while I'm watching Olbermann.

[Keith Olbermann, the King of Hate.]

Yes I do hate. I think Karl Rove is the creator of about 25% of mine and Cheney another 25% and Bush another 25% and the rest is BushCo the enablers and their blood sucking relatives.

[Do you use a Hate-o-meter or something to figure this out?]

You feel hate for Charles Manson. Examine what Bush has done to us, the nation, the world, and just like the death penalty is necessary for Tim McVey, Hate is the only emotion you can feel for Bush! Nothing else can satisfy that need!

[What the world needs now is love, sweet love. . . .]

Hate can't even come close to my feeling for some people. . . .

[I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. . . .]

Do I ever get tired of hating Bush and Cheney? My first inclination was to say that yeah, sure I do, hate is bad for everyone. But no, I can't say that I'm tired of hating them. I guess it just feels so right.

{Back to normal in DUmmieland!]
