Ok, so apparently popular opinion is that I hate feminists, women, African-Americans, homo-sexuals, Mexican-Americans, liberals, foriegners, socialists, communists, minorities, and the 9th circuit court of appeals.
I don't hate any of them. I disagree with many of the listed "-ists." That goes with out saying. Hate is a very strong word, and should not be focused on ANY group. Ever.
Lets address minorities (which should technically be called pluralities soon at this rate.) I have nothing against them as people. A few elements of their cultures may annoy me, or even upset me, but i still support their right to be here (legally) and to express themselves. I am against any of them getting special privileges. I am also against illegal immigration, for a very simple reason. Its illegal, doofus. You wouldn't let someone get away with rape, murder, theft, assault, etc. so should they get be rewarded for breaking this law? That said, the immigration system needs reworking, but that is a different post.
Now socialists and communists, those folks believe in an anarchism of an overly simple, disproven theory. Well, technically socialism is still around and in use, but there is a reason why Europe is moving to the right. Chavez has impoverished Venezuela. Communism failed, epically. The soviets could not make it work, nor could most of Eastern Europe. China is trying to achieve some weird hybrid of capitalism and communism which is destined to fail due to their opposing natures. The bottom line here is that I firmly believe in the merit of free markets.
Feminists, You got picked on lately because you have been visibly annoying. This was actually supposed to be a general post, but the example was reflecting feminists. The next one, I happened to come across, and even with the age, I found some good stuff in there. If you really want to know why you are so easy to pick on though, this guy has a good explanation written. My biggest complaint is the fact that it is a way of trying to secure special privileges. That and the horrible economics behind it. Oh, and according to the U.S. Census Bureau figures, of every 100 women in America, there are only 97 men. In other words, men make up about 49.2% of the population. Women are not a minority in any way, shape, or form.
Above all, liberals make me mad because they have no common sense.
Keep in mind, as much as I dislike what you say, I will always support your right to say it, within reason (obsecenity, for example, is an exception.) I promise, I won't hate you for it either.

You forgot these people to add to the list of those you supposedly hate: fascists, Jews, and transvestites
1) This who thing with Mexico is so stupid. The USA could not have asked for better neighbors, according to my native Swedish roommate. He's right. Two federal republics founded on the principals of human equality and capitalist economics... For some reason because they are brown, people don't want Mexicans here. Or maybe it is because they speak Spanish. What is wrong with making America Bi-lingual? we are one of few nations that do not require fluency in 2 languages of our students. Don't tell me that we do, cause I was taught jack shit for Spanish in high school, fluency requires years of immersion, not 9 months of lectures.
2) I have a request to make. Go to the Oneida Native American reservation in Green Bay. Ask the locals about their opinion regarding illegal immigration, that is the settlement of lands by foreigners, without the legal consent of the current population.
3) Socialism and Communism (Trotskyism, NOT Stalinism) actually require MORE government regulation, generally of things you conservatives like to let run wild, like big business... The lack of regulation in Capitalist systems is why our gasoline costs $3.50+/gal while petroleum companies log record profits, for another fiscal quarter.
The less government part generally refers to the destruction of laws that control people's individual rights (in Socialism; Stalin kinda fucked up Communism). And as for the fall of the USSR, you're conversion of those nations to Capitalism has ruined their economies, and their governments. And don't say this is a good thing, too. Oh whaaaah! The Soviets hurt people and invaded countries like Afghanistan.
The US during this SAME time altered all kinds of elections in Latin America and even backed military dictators that rose to power after the democratically elected leaders opposed to allowing American economic influence in their nation were assassinated by CIA funded/backed operations.
4. Women are not a minority in any way, shape or form huh?
It seems the only way shape or form that you have proven they are not a minority is in number. By Pay they are a minority. By rights to what they may do to their body they are a minority. By what they are told is "proper for ladies to do" they are a minority. But there are more of them than there are of us, there is a GREAT injustice, in that fact.
Thank you, Andrew. Well put.
I would also like to make a comment about the quality of this blog, "Goose," from one blogger to another: Calling the reader "doofus" in order to make a point is highly ineffective.
If you truly feel so strongly about these things, I support your right to write about them on your blog. But to stoop to name-calling will never convince me of the validity of your views. I know it is possible to write about something that makes you mad and do so without reverting to name-calling. I do it a lot on my blog.
If the points you make are so just (as you seem to believe they are), then they should be able to stand on their own merit, without any of that extra childlike language.
I think the childlike language was put in to lighten the mood of this post, not necessarily to demean anyone in specific. However it was probably unnecessary.
Andrew, you comment was great.
"Goose," I didn't realize that all minorities share a collective "annoying" culture. I'll have to tell my minority friends from Mexico, China, Jamaica, and Israel that their cultures, traditions, and holidays are actually all the same.
Kate - I don't believe that's what Goose is saying. I believe he is saying that he is labeled as a "hater" of everyone deemed a minority and he's trying to disprove that.
"A few elements of their cultures may annoy me"
I misread this sentence to be "culture" instead of "cultures." I apologize.
