Political foes not friends.

*Excuse me if I pass on all the kumbaya moments and hand holding going on after the recent shootings in Virginia.

Don't get me wrong, I will certainly be civil to those who hold opposing political views than I do, but don't expect me to be their friend. Not. Going. To. Happen. I have very few friends to begin with, so I am not going to waste my energy or time with someone who I view as an ideological foe. You tell me your views, I tell you mine, and we keep it popping.

Anyway, watching pundits on the right bemoan the acrimony an rancor in our political debate is laughable, since they did more to contribute to the current state that we are in than anyone else.
The result  has been terror laid upon us from the right in droves. [See below]
One republican politician, right on cue, blamed the shootings on Obama.

I refuse to be lectured to by these talking heads from the right who have made millions of dollars peddling in hate. [Ted Nugent??!! Are you kidding me?]

Their glorious leader built his campaign around a lie, and he made hateful comments about the former president for years. What was his reward? We made him president.

So now after one horrific incident I am supposed to cede the moral high ground to these clowns?
I don't think so.

h/t to the following commenter from mediaite.com for reminding me of all of the following incidents of right-wing domestic terror.

"Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?"
 
I guess the kumbaya moment is over.
