Why is this fucking botched joke of Kerry's still getting traction?
I got a fucking email from my sister after her promise of never sending me this crap again. She knows how personal I take the war. We've got family still over there.

And I get that insulting letter from that woman who wrote letters to a bunch of politicians calling Kerry names.

So I get upset about getting these emails after she said two or three times she wouldn't do it anymore. After the last time about it, she promised she would send no more. I quit blocking her. So, she sends this.

My RW mother and my sister tell me I take this too personal. Hubby and I have a nephew who is on his third tour. The cousin is on his second. Hubby and I are both vets. How can I not take it personally.

Sorry, this is rambling, but I'm tired of their rah fucking rah of George Bush and how christian he is.

1. Cut them off...
No emails, no phone, no contact, until they grow up and stop it.

I did the same to friends and brothers until they cut the crap out.

They know better now.

4. Just tell her you are re-labeling her mail as spam
and this time she stays on the spam blocked list.

6. It's been three fucking weeks.
Hasn't Bush done something idiotic in the past three weeks that we can harp on, like, oh, fucking up which Vietnamese flag to fly?

7. you might say something like,
Is that all you've got?

Seriously, the right wing doesn't have a lot going for it these days. If the best they can do is harp on this little issue, they may be done for.

9. I stopped communicating with the right wingers in my family a long
time ago. It was the only way to resolve the situation.

10. Well, I bitched enough this time...
sent her a scathing email and she swore she wouldn't email me again.

You email me this shit and I'll dish it right back at you. I'm tired of being made to feel like crap when I get this shit, but if I speak up, I'm a horrible person for getting upset over it.

I'm not allowed to get mad over this goddamn war and the fucking maniac who started it all. I'm not allowed to get pissed or take it personally that we have family over there who could die any second. I'm not allowed to be offended or upset because fellow veterans are getting the shaft and not getting the help they were promised by the government.

But, yet, I'm supposed to NOT RESPOND to an insulting letter. I'm not fucking allowed to say what I think because it UPSETS YOU! It doesn't matter that it upsets me. What the hell am I anyway? Am I some fucking strange asshole that you can treat any way you want? Why are you allowed to send me this shit after saying you wouldn't anymore?

It would be nice if my feelings counted for something by this family I'm in. I've had to listen to Kerry, Clinton and a few others get trashed, but I'm damned if I say one tiny negative thing against that moron in the White House.

I've asked to not be subjected to this shit, but like always, I'm ignored. How about I send you crap that insults your religious beliefs? How about I email you stuff that says christianity is a sham and is only for fools? That'd be pretty damn insulting to you. You take your beliefs very seriously and I'm not going to trash them by sending emails written by someone else.

That's because I respect you and your beliefs. That's because you're my sister and I love you. I don't want to upset you or cause you grief. I won't do it because it's not right.

I wish you could do the same for me. That's all I've ever asked.


She was pretty offended by my use of the word 'fuck'. I love my sister, but what a hypocrite. I've heard her curse like a sailor on shore leave. :eyes:

Either way, it solved the problem.
