No end to Republican dickishness (a rant)

Any reasonable person has to wonder why Republicans/Teabaggers are such mean-spirited dicks, completely void of empathy.

What most people would consider to be decent, they are against. Health care, education, jobs, caring for veterans, extended unemployment insurance, a livable minimum wage, immigration, voting rights, fixing our crumbling infrastructure, reasonable gun control, aiding the poor and disabled, school lunches for needy children, meals on wheels for the elderly. But being against all of this is not sufficient. They want to do away with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Not to mention giving less than full rights to women, minorities and anyone they consider to be among the “Thems.”

They have seized partial power of our government through voter suppression and gerrymandering. They can enact their agenda of cruelness in the states they control, and they can block progress on a national basis. And they are aided and abetted in their dickishness by the MSM (which is nothing more than big business).

Their arrogance and non-stop lies make them intolerable. Their leaders and propagandists create a parallel universe in which most of them are content to live in ignorance. Why are they filled with so much anger and hatred? Beats me. But what I know for sure is that there will always be people like them. They’ll never go away and it’s up to us to do everything possible to keep them from ever seizing the levers of power in this country. They are a bigger danger to our freedoms than any outside enemy could ever be.
