America's thugs.

The Republicans,to nobody's surprise, had a summit this week at the Dallas Omni Hotel. Apparently much of this summit was devoted to a "hate fest against Harry Reid." I don't doubt that it was successful since Republicans are experts at hate. In fact, it's probably the only thing they're really good at. They're brilliant at hating women and have found so many ways to express that hate: lower wages, creating humiliating medical tests, withdrawing lifesaving medical tests. They're fabulous at hating African Americans, starting with President Obama who has been the recipient of most of their fury. They hate children and prove it with their constant attacks on welfare and education funds. They hate all non-Christians, notably Muslims and atheists. And, sadly, they hate America. Because if they loved it they would work toward making it better, stronger, and fairer. Instead they stubbornly cling to every position that is guaranteed to weaken our government and demoralize the majority of its citizens. Yup, the Republicans are the party of hate, no doubt about it.
