I am amazed at how crazed and sadistic the GOP has become. They were always bad for the country. They were an evil seed spawned in the 19th century. As bad as they have been they are simply murderous now in all their policy decisions. The GOP is an embarrassment to the flag they have stolen.
They are worse than small pox to me. I could never pledge allegiance to the flag along side a Republican today. They are disgusting in their attacks on the most vulnerable in our society. The fact that they have not been totally repulsed and put completely out of power says something about how far down our country has gone to the dark side.
The new Ryan budget is so vile. Ryan should be run off the public stage everywhere he goes. I do not know what we are going to do if we do not come to our senses. It just seems that we cannot get past the obstructionism. And we have a president who still somehow believes he can make a deal with the devil.

Police
Clergy
Elected Officials
Doctors
the Wealthy
Everyone has taken advantage of their power and has manipulated the system over
the past 35 years to move all the money to the upper 5%.
Now, the middle class (who spends what they earn) has no money to buy product
and support the businesses of the upper class.
I imagine they figure that the end is coming from the conflicts in the Middle East
and they just need to make as much money as possible and live as high as possible
before the end comes.
And when the end doesn't come - BOY, you gonna have some really pissed off people here!

(8,556 posts)Everything you post is designed to incite hatred and encourage other posters to appear like intolerant authoritarians.
Its all crafted to lead people to conclude that violence will be the only answer. But of course you always stop just short of stating that directly.
It's ridiculously obvious and kind of sad that you get away with it.
