My sister is a rightie..and its not that she has a difference of opinion that irks me,..its the amount of hate she pedals..good bye to her!

My wife has a cousin who is married to a rightie who also spreads hate..good bye to him

My oldest friend..same way..


All of these people are racists and bigots and refuse to admit it..they even used the N word an still said they were "only joking!"

Together they would make a soap opera of ignorance and hate..

If I could I would write a script for a TV show about them all but I would face two problems; One is that no one would believe people could be THAT stupid and second..I would not know whether to sell it as a comedy or a tragedy..

I have a hard time with that. I view your politics as who you are. Flashmann Jan 2013 #1
