It's angry hour at The One About... Just when I thought I had swallowed all the sick fucked up shit that the Republicants could possibly dish out. Just when I figured that the Right Wing Scum Suckers could not sink any lower. Just when I thought that there were a few areas of life that were just universal common sense, off limits to debate. That's when I have to go and find out shit like this...
As his Tennessee home burned to the ground last week, Gene Cranick didn't have to watch the tragedy unfold alone: He was flanked by his local firefighters. The firefighters initially refused to come to the scene as the fire raged—because Cranick had failed to pay a $75 annual service fee. As the fire, which began in some barrels, inched toward his home, Cranick claims he offered to pay them any amount to extinguish the blaze, to no avail. Hours later, his home, three dogs, and a cat were gone.I honestly thought that we had moved past this sort of thing. I thought we had left it discarded in the dust bin of history marked 1800's, along with shit like slavery, and child labor. But apparently not.
But there's more to this than just this one incident. Because there is a false narrative abroad in the land, and while it is most at home in the mainstream media increasingly it is finding a foot hold even in what had once seemed more Progressive environs. This false narrative goes something like this.
"Both the Left and the Right have some extremists but generally they are people of good will and good faith"
FUCKING BULLSHIT!
First of all, first of all if you support in any way shape or form any law, policy, etc., that allows, or even worse requires people to stand by and let someone's house burn to the ground, and innocent living things BURN TO DEATH, then you are not a person of good will and good faith in fact you are not a person. You are a fucking monster.
Just that simple. If you support, defend, apologize for, this sort of inhuman, monstrous bullshit than YOU ARE A FUCKING MONSTER and you should be hunted to the ends of the earth and destroyed.
But more than that, for those middle grounders that want to try and claim that the Left is as bad as the Right, tell me, what has anyone on the Left as it exists today done that is even close to what happened in this town? How many people have had their lives taken from them because of Left Wing Rhetoric? How many murders have happened because someone put into action what a bile spewing Left Wing hate monger put into words?
How many countries have been invaded to give people decent jobs at a living wage, and health care, and a quality education, and assurance of a decent standard of living even if they don't have a job at the moment?
Not sure? Searching your memory? Well let me settle it for you.
NOT A FUCKING ONE!
Because while Progressives might have some flaws, such as a tendency to value peoples long term well being over their freedom to disregard that same well being, or a tendency to attack symptoms rather than causes, we are nothing like the kind of hateful murderous pieces of disease riddled shit that think it's just fine and fucking dandy to let people starve, or freeze, or die of treatable diseases, or have their home burned to the ground and their animal companions burnt to death just because "They didn't pay."
Keep The Faith My Brothers And Sisters!
