we can't be fooled anymore - "Right to Work", "Leave no child behind"

When repugs name a bill it always means the exact opposite of the name. In both of these examples, there is no right to work and children are being left behind.

this started with nixon's 'managing healthcare' which was actually about managing it away.

so, i've learned that whatever a repug names, take the opposite meaning or the meaning that is most destructive to the 99%.

Teaparty etc., are motivated by greed and selfishness, fear and ignorance.

This cocktail is necessary otherwise they would be liberals.

Greed and selfishness are not exactly the same thing.

One can be greedy but also generous to others.

The average teapartier would rather a person die than take tax dollars to support.

Rick Santorum just the other day said in plain English he wants to kill a billion Muslims.




So yes, this well known, loud and popular Christian has openly advocated for murdering one billion human beings.
