They're counting on bleeding heart liberals to keep on taking care of their sorry asses. And we will, because we believe in equality and taking care of other Americans.
Like this guy:.
And he's top of their hate list.
I'm sure they are against everything the USA stands for. Truckload of treasonous Tenthers.
They have been reported to be in favor of moving to Russia. But they won't leave as their master and likely half of them are on disability and social security. They hate this country but can't afford to leave.They're counting on bleeding heart liberals to keep on taking care of their sorry asses.

~ Erich Fromm
More to the point was this one that kept me going many days:
You must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen. For restiveness, like light and cloud-shadows, passes over your hands and over all you do.
You must think that something is happening to you. That life has not forgotten you. That it holds you in its hand. It will not let you fall.
I wrote that passage down from someone reading it and carried it with me for over twenty years and put it away ten years ago. I transcribed it to my computer this year.
I hope it gives comfort, Sarah.
Reminds me of a few passages I've kept over the years, here is one:
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love, or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies?~ Erich Fromm

Good points there! What is Alternet's angle in promoting Russian PR, though?
I thought Alternet was pretty goo during the Bush era, but have read them less and less after they seemed to be going CT. I will read CT to see what the current memes are, but when I see the direction some takes, I suspect they're banking on their readers being fearful and gullible.

Efficient purevyors of outrage, poutrage and propaganda! They are the bestest! But...
Have you ever watched when real time events didn't match their totally biased script on their teleprompters?
I've seen in it in real time and they go completely to pieces. They are just going along and then the feed from the real world comes in and they're wrong and the crew look to the right and the left when reality takes a turn that doesn't fit.
