Reply #11: True colors are shining through - and not in a good way [View All]

as in the song...What we have here is all the Repukes falling all over each other in order to prove - to the most radical of Teabaggers - that each is more hardcore, hardline, and lacking in compassion than the other guy. It's like a bunch of high school guys bragging about how many women they've beat up, hoping some nearby woman will be impressed and wooed by the manly talk.*

Except only a very damaged woman would be seduced by such blather. And only the most deranged sociopaths in our society are impressed with the Repuke's attitude toward human life.

This is nothing new in their attitude except their honesty about it. Humans can be ugly and cruel, and our society was built over the corpses of the victims of those who don't see each human as "fully human."

What we need to remember is that this will backfire on the Repukes - very, very badly - and that's a good thing. And secondly, no matter how low you've been brought by the current situation, DO NOT let any politician, corporation or anyone else tell you you don't matter.

YOU MATTER.

Don't take their words personally - as heartbreaking as they sound to the ears of decent people. Remember that most Americans care very much about one another and about taking care of the least of these.

And give that beautiful woman a virtual hug from me. :hug:
