This is your party to a T.


You all talk of compassion while practicing homophobia and bigotry daily. You claim GAYS areout to destroy the American way of life,” a charge that conservatives like to toss at anyone who does not agree with their narrow view of the world. In your eyes, if you question the actions of our President, you are anti-American. If you question the war in Iraq, you are unpatriotic. Anti ARAB and Muslim talk is commonplace. If a woman has an abortion- DAMN- she is the DEVIL... Please dont preach of bigotry- you guys wrote the book...
Although I don't agree on a couple of things, this post of reeds is very good.

Parts that I liked the most:

This has to do with many things, not only with politics or "Republicans", but with society in general.

I have heard it, an absurdity.


If you question the war in Iraq, you are unpatriotic.

Ditto. Absurdity came after the lies.
Chiwas the post would make more sense if it weren't directed at an entire political party. He pretty much calls Republicans homophobes. Every one of them.
