I share the same sentiment as you Divinity. For the past 40 years the Religious Right take over of the Republican Party has fostered nothing but hatred against people who were not like the Conservative shitheads. Lies and spiteful language against Liberals and Progressives, lies and hateful language against gays, lesbians, people of other religions, hatefulness towards other Christians who were not Conservative, and lies and hatred against our people, the atheists and other freethinkers. They even declared that Secular Humanists as an enemy to their way of life. Oh yes, I also remember the Conservatives saying that atheists should not be considered citizens of America and that liberals were being unpatriotic for not supporting the Neo-Con war in Iraq. And the Dominionist language against our people, threats to our existence both veiled and not so veiled. I remember all that shit. Conservatives were the ones who poisoned the well of political discourse.
The only sad thing I can say about this is that more Conservatives were not shot.
Yes, I admit it, I have hate in my heart. I gained it honestly.
