hkellickDo you know what I honestly don't get..
it's the number of Republicans who seem to really truly believe that Obama is some sort of terrorist or socialist or whatever, and that once he's elected (as is looking lucky) the end of the world is going to come.
What I really don't understand is the FEAR, the pure unbridled FEAR of Obama? Is it Racism? Is it that they actually believe the oft-corrected lie that Obama is a Muslim? Is it just that despite the last 8 years, they're afraid of what a liberal government is going to do to the 'Morality' they hold so dear? (My God! Obama might make it legal for Gays to marry!!)
I honestly don't understand it, but I don't understand the anti-intellectualism branch of the GOP that seems to comprise at least a pretty good portion of the base. How on earth can people happily live with the belief that science is a crock of ****, but God provides all? I don't understand that. I'm not sure I'd ever want to.
I hope these people find some peace in their president, and can find a way to let the fear go.
