I am repeatedly struck and horrified by the ignorance and misplaced zealotry of the greater right wing. I am disturbed by the polarization of our country and appalled by the staunchness and commitment to telling and retelling untruths and counting them as fact.
Here are some facts:
1. Global warming is a real thing.
1a. Attempts by the Koch brothers, et al, to squash legislation to reduce the U.S.'s carbon footprint and invest in alternative energies cost us the ability to be at the forefront of developing that technology and creating thousands jobs. You'll note that job creation is how they justify their putrid existence.
2. What people do in their bedrooms - provided it is consensual - is none of your business.
3. The decisions a woman makes about her body and all things related to it, including whether or not to give birth, should she be impregnated, is also none of your business.
4. Religion has no place in government.
5. Antiquated white men are not the proper group to be making decisions for a country that is completely diversified, yet has no representation to reflect said diversity.
6. Anger and a lack of dialogue that is minded toward compromise and forward progress is stunting.
7. A lack of regulation, leads to crises in nearly every single area where regulation has been proposed. as it pertains to financial matters, see: stock market crash and subsequent depression, see also, market crash of 2008 and subsequent deep recession, still existing today.
I can go on and on and on, but in short, we are in a terrible state where swaths of untraveled, uneducated masses seem to believe that god and assault weapons are somehow platforms for logical decision making.
Tea party, you disgust me.
