As you can probably imagine, the viewpoints we express at Last of Our Kind do not sit will with everyone (can't please them all I suppose). We are a fairly new blog, and we are proud to present to you our first two articles of "hate mail" or "anger mail" or "fan mail" or whatever you choose to call it.
The first was a response to our post about Palin's nod for VP:
I agree, pal. Bring on the VP debate. Obama has been preaching "change" from day one and he picks a multi-term, east coast, establishment insider for his VP. Change ? ! ?
Yeah right.
You libs went to bed early this morning thinking a slam dunk victory was all set for Nov. You woke up later this morning, saw McCain's bold choice for his VP, sobered up a bit, and thought, "Oh shit. . .We have a fight on our hands ! ! !"
I live in a very liberal city, work with a bunch of libs. A lot of bluster from them this week during the convention. They were very quiet today.
Bring on the debates, pal. The American public may shock you with their decision in November.
The second was a response to the same I think:
U survive off of people who have nothing. No ideas, no productiveness; people who support Obama have nothing. Palin was brought on the ticket to bring forth the real conservatives, the conservatives that founded this country
You all again, bring forth the issue of experience. seriously..........Governor of he the greatest state of the nation trumps a couple years of doing nothing in the Senate. All u libs come up with NON issues or completely just don't understand how a prosperous economy works.
All Palin supporters know what she is running for and all those that don't know still have a hell of a lot of learning to do.
Again.........GOVT WILL NOT SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS!!!!!!
WE DO NOT WANT TO BE A SOCIALIST SOCIETY!!!!
Don't U just luv the arguments presented here? I know I do. I'm pretty sure the "conservatives" that founded our country were the so-called "libs" of their time...breaking away from the rule of another country, refusing to be governed by leaders that showed little concern for their interests, and creating a nation by rebelling against another. Sounds REAL conservative. REALLY conservative. Excuse me a moment while I drink up the irony of that argument, it is too delicious not to savor.
I present these bits of fan mail to you all so that you can see for yourselves that it is not only the McBush campaign that makes absolutely no sense, but it is also their supporters that make no sense.
I am very sorry...but when U must use the letter "U" instead of typing two more letters to form the simple word "you," you have already damaged your credibility beyong repair. I have my doubts that you even have an understanding of what a socialist society really is. And I have a lot of trouble believing that you have any real understanding of how any economy might work (much less a prosperous one). You are right...I do not know how a prosperous economy works because I forgot...I have not experienced one in eight long years, and if your candidate wins, (a candidate that admits he knows very little about economics) I think I may spend four more years not knowing how a prosperous economy works.
It is very simple...McCain just does not get it, and neither do his supporters. They have little to say about issues, and very few actual facts or quotes to back up their claims. Just like McCain's campaign ads. Claiming that your dear Sarah Palin is a reformer and against the Bridge to Nowhere, when she actually supported it to get elected to office. That lobbyists are bad despite the fact that several of their top campaign advisors are former lobbyists themselves.
McCain and his supporters are so confused and baffled, that they have actually managed to step on their own feet and eat crow more often than I ever thought possible. Everyday, more and more claims from the McCain campaign are debunked and fact checked to show they are false. Confusion has officially set in. Like I said in the last post...Deceived into Delerium.
Happy to add salt to your bitter tasting crow,
-LoOK

The prosperous economy that you talk about was a result of the policies and tax cuts that Ronald Reagan and Bush I put in place. Clinton instituted the largest tax increase in the country's history. As a result, Bush II inherited an economy that was on the downturn while Clinton was still in office.
Conservatives believe in limited government, low taxes and strong national defense. Socialists believe in a redistribution of wealth via high taxes and entitlement programs, collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods and services. Real conservatives are no fans of Bush (he's done as much to socialize us as any democrat) but can in no way support a terrorist sympathizing radical like Hussein.
Do you forget "No new taxes?" Bush the first raised taxes as did Reagan.
The "real conservative" Reagan also wanted government so small that he emptied many mental hospitals creating the largest growth of homeless people in history.
"Real conservatives" are no fan of bush, yet he was elected not once but twice.
Senator Obama believes in a shifting of taxes to help the middleclass, which is what this country is based on. It is the middle class that lives, dreams, and thrives in this country.
As Senator Obama has stated time and time again those makeing over $200,000 a year will simply be placed in the tax bracket put in place during the Clinton years when (as you probably will argue against) real wages did rise, and the country was very prosperous.
real conservative will vote for a liberal republican as opposed to a socialist like Kerry or Gore any day. Lesser of two evils.
I didn't forget that, Bush I raised taxes, but that still doesn't cancel out the fact that Clinton raised them more than anyone did and the current economic situation is partially attributed to that.
Hussein wants to cut income taxes for the middle class, but there are a host of other taxes (social security tax, windfall profit tax, payroll taxes, business taxes and an increased death tax) that are going to go up that are going to affect the middle class just as much. Raising taxes is the exact opposite of how to fix a slow economy.
Wages may have risen during the Clinton debacle, but it economy also tanked during that time. After what? After he raised taxes.
And how could I forget about his oil tax that is going to raise prices at the pump as well as heating oil.
The raising of taxes you mention that Senator Obama plans to raise is only on people making over $200,000 a year.
As you can see as put together by the washington post:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/06/09/ST2008060900950.html
the middle class really does save under Senator Obama's plan, while Senator McCain simply doesn't get it.
