Reply #9: the people who celebrated then [View All]

[drmeow]

are at tea party rallies now and would celebrate if Obama was assassinated. If Jesus were around today, they'd assassinate him, too. Not that I'm comparing JFK or Obama to Jesus by any means - just that there are people who are so ideologically wedded to inequality (because if there is inequality then for them there is always someone who they are above - if the US is number 1 then just the fact that they are Americans makes them better than someone else) that they hate and fear anyone who talks about or advocates equality. Too much of their self worth is tied to downward comparison, inequality, and arbitrary ranking that removing that inequality makes them feel worthless.
