"In which labels are used as weapons"
Yeah, it really takes someone really brave to bash a cat's head in, paint the word "Liberal" on its lifeless corpse, and leave it for the owner (who happens to be an Arkansas Democrat Campaign Manager), his wife, and his children to find, doesn't it?

I’m not going to paint Conservatives with a broad brush, but at least one person decided that he didn’t like them thar libruals wot are ruinin’ the U S of A! and tried to send a warning message to the family. And because of the graffiti, I’m going to have to believe that it wasn’t a fellow Democrat that committed this gutless, cowardly act.
Look, I don't hate the conservatives any more than I hate the liberals. I do, however, hate that people use the two words as weapons. Especially when the word "liberal" isn't actually an insult any more than is the word "conservative". Please, look them up. It only takes a second, I promise. Maybe you'll stop tossing them around so much. I can at least hope that's the case.
In today's world, politics have become a sports event to many people. They sit in their La-Z-Boy recliners and scream that the reason the world is so fucked up is because of the other team. And like all sporting events, when a penalty is called against your own team, you pretend to not have seen it. Against the opposing team? Oh, you better believe that you yell at the referee like he’s got brains leaking out his head for not seeing that horrible foul. And we all know that we want to be on "the winning team" ... even though we're not actually doing anything except sitting there on the couch chowing down on hot wings and pizza.
Nothing that I can or do will ever change that sort of mentality.
But the one thing that I can do is put a message out on the internet to call out one gutless prick who is apparently too cowardly to debate his views and instead resorts to a violent act of terrorism… and yes, I called it that because it actually is terrorism to commit this kind of action with the intent to terrorize another... to grow a fucking spine and step forward with a public confession. Not that they'll actually have the courage to do it, but...
If you think that killing a cat and trying to traumatize an entire family is how you win people over... well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re a fucking moron who deserves time behind bars. No, I'm not advocating "an eye for an eye" (even though this insignificant prick manages to knock one of the cat’s eyes out of its skull).
See, I won't ever advocate the bodily harm of another living thing in order to send a warning message to those whose viewpoints I disagree with.
That is what differentiates me from you, you pathetic little shit.
