So nice to be loved
So Representative Robin Hayes thinks “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.”
Let’s take a look at that statement.
First of all, according to Representative Hayes all liberals are hateful. That’s a big statement right there. I wonder if he really believes that. Chances are that he’s just reflecting his own personal hatred toward people who are not like him.
Now, on to the good part. He’s saying that liberals are not real Americans. I have grown to really detest the concept of a real American. Everyone who says that seems to think that a real American is someone agrees with their way of thinking. Recently a senator wanted to go through the ranks and sift out the real Americans much like Senator McCarthy some time ago during the Red Scare. I thought we would have learned our lesson. But then I guess not. We have people who honestly think that Obama is a terrorist. Funny how many of those people think are in the Congress. Or maybe, and I know this is going to be shocking, they just have different ideas! Oh no! We can’t have that!
On to the three categorical entries for real Americans: work, achieve, and believe in God. So, according to Representative Hayes the liberals hate people who work. Really? So they hate themselves? Or is it that there is this massive number of people who don’t work, and they’re all liberals? Achieve? Ok, so liberals don’t achieve either? Well, if by achievement you mean getting somewhere by violating the things that the liberals believe in, I could understand that. If your brand of achievement means to rob, exploit, cheat, and harm many for your own benefit I’d gladly say that I hate everyone in that category. But that’s not the only kind of achievement, and I don’t think that was the kind that Representative Hayes was thinking about. So once again he’s accusing the liberals of never achieving anything and being bitter because of it. Nice assessment of humanity!
And on to the last, and my favorite. Representative Hayes is trying to pass off liberalism as Atheism. Now think about this for a moment. Liberals, nearly half of the country, are Atheists? Why, that would be quite impossible given that Atheists only made up about 13% of the country’s population in 2000. I can’t imagine it has gotten that much bigger since then. 25% maybe? A possible number given the drastic increases in atheism, but certainly not the entire liberal population of the country.
So what’s he trying to do? He’s trying to say that the other side of the political arena are a bunch of lazy, good for nothing, godless heathens. Is this true? No. Is what he said hateful? Certainly.
But there’s even something worse. When first called in to account for his words he denied them. Flat out. No question. He had said no such thing. That was until the tape appeared.
You know what that makes Representative Robin Hayes?
A liar.
Plain and simple. Isn’t that nice? Is that the 11th Commandment? “Thou shall cover thine own ass at all costs?”
I wouldn’t characterize myself as a liberal in the slightest, but to be honest there’s little to like about the Republicans these days, and this guy exemplifies my issues. Whatever ideals the party stood for, and for many still does, has long since eroded away from the top level leaving a group of rotten politicians whose main job in life is to maintain their positions. Not that this is unusual, mind you, but they have a bad case of it. I think the Republican party needs an enema. Kick out the old guard and get some fresh blood in charge. Not that they’ll do it, but honestly that would be nice.
