Funny thing is, "The United States of America" are just words to Conservatives.

With all their bluster and blather about "Rah Rah Rah Rah USA! Honor, dignity, respect for the law, courage, something you libs know nothing about, etc" . . . the reality is, they couldn't be less united if they were paid.

They yap about "loving their country" while hating 75% of the people in it.

They live in some supposed high school world where a pecking order is in place . . . with them on top, of course. The notion of "most and least deserving of the spoils" applies; the "least" reserved for people who aren't them.

They have no problems flaunting their "Protestant work ethic" on their sleeves while putting in place a hierarchy (public and private) run by mostly rich, white male third-basers. Oh, and they also do this while ripping the living hell out of an actual hard working Christian while making the man that sent this country on a treason-flecked rocket ride to hell into an untouchable legend.

These supposed lovers of the disciplined and brave military and police elected Donald Trump, a haphazard, undisciplined, labor stiffing, serial bankrupter of a sole proprietorship CROOK who continually had to get bailed out/coddled by the Saudis, China or Russian Oil-igarchs with mob ties.

THIS is DISCIPLINE? Your president is a fucking JOKE. An EMBARRASSMENT. A DISGRACE. A vote cast out of SPITE and HATE. A reflection on your corroded values and jaundiced view on your fellow citizens.

There isn't any notion of "United States". They're either on the "Politically Isolated and Heavily Armed Republic of Jack Shitkicker" or "The Fortified Basement War on Ideas of Archie AnCap".

"Union", "United States" and "America" . . . . are nothing but WORDS to them.

Oh, and by the way, conservatives NEVER get to Red-Bait ANYONE EVER again.

they are militia members and dream about a race war to purify our country....


and we let these people take control of our government because of self-rightous "we can't support the lessor of 2 evils bullshit" voters/non-voters


so we deserve what we get until WE take back our country

Simply look at the people he employs.

Steve Bannon is like something out of a comic book.
