Mick Pence spke at C-PAC tonight, and his speech contained this gem:

“Despite the best efforts of liberal activists at town halls around the country, the American people know better,” Pence told CPAC attendees.

Evidently if we disagree with anything the GOP wants to do we are bad, bad, 'liberal activists' and we aren't part of the 'American people'. Not sure what we are, but we evidently just don't count any more. Of course with the GOP voter suppression and gerrymandering, that may be true.

Others will get in trouble for being another religion or the wrong kind of Christian.

3. One might consider ...

it appears that representation is now limited to only loyal Republican Americans, yet the rest of us are still subject to taxation but now without representation.....

Perhaps the KGOP no longer wishes to have us participate in the taxation part either???

Yeah right.... we will probably have to pay double.

4. Good post.

Is it all right with you if I incorporate part of it into a letter I am writing to my republican Congressman? He refuses to hold face-to-face town hall meetings, but he can appear as the keynote speaker at a local republican fundraiser.

I intend to send him a snail mail letter. I hear they get more attention. I am considering hand-writing the letter.
