They don’t merely hate us – they have contempt for our very existence. We are being victimized by them. They want to destroy our way of life, and it’s not just that – they want to destroy it forever. Any hopes we have, for our children, our country, the Earth – they want to destroy all of that. They’re not like us – they’re not valid citizens, they have no conscience, and they’re really so alien that the world would be better off without them. Anything you think is good, they’re against that. They don’t value the same things we value; if left unchecked, everything – EVERYTHING will be gone, and there will be no hope. No hope for us, for our children, forever. Even when they sound like they might agree with us on some minor thing, it’s really part of their longer term agenda to weaken all that is good and usher in a new way of life that is disgraceful, unlawful and will bring ruin on us and our civilization. Sure, freedom of speech is one thing, but really, when people have such vile and destructive ideas, the ideas themselves hurt our civilization, and this is a case in which removing the contagion of those ideas is probably justified.
I’m embarrassed (for us) that I have to add: this post may have some sarcastic content.

It’s about those people who crack their three minute egg on the right side of the egg. The correct method is to crack the left side of the egg.

Those who hang their toilet paper the wrong way.

Don’t do it. We have to figure out a way to use their own strength against themselves to self-destruct.
And urr… I hope this is about what I think it is about…

OTOH, I have it on good authority that they’re terrific dancers.

I first read that as “Designated Hitler.”
I suppose one _could_ make some kind of joke out of that.

I think it’s the people that decide the next piece you’re going to get in Tetris.
I find myself ranting about ‘them’ all the time. They really are bastards.
