I am speechless at the hypocrisy I am seeing in this photo. There is not a kind bone in a rethug's body, and she wants us to be kind??



(Also, painting an American flag on a cross? Gag.)

The bars have a short bit, a gap and then a long continuous bit. They do not have the kind of gaps wording would have, even if the wording is indecipherable.

You can do more, by stating what you think they say. But for whatever reason you do not.

It's one of their favorite tactics. They're attempting to take the long-time calls from liberals for kindness, and saying, "Look! The Libs are being mean!"

Hendersonville is extremely wealthy per capital. It is surrounded by Pisgah National Forest that brings in all that cash and transplanted wealthy people to live near this amazing public Land. Let me see that same bunch of idiot cultist after this GQP sells off the Public Land for trumps billionaire oil and mineral tycoons. On the books right now waiting to be passed by GQP. Many millions of acres to be sold.
And the forest and cash flow ends. And all that poison from drilling and mining rushes down those mountains right into their water. And do I need to mention flooding down there after forests are eliminated?
Fuck those fools and their GAWD.

"Mother Earth News" which was based there in the 70s. It focused on DIY, and the ecology movement that lost steam in the 80s (along with most things environmental...sadly). It is really sad to see how that area seems now to be a bed of right-wingers as is most of the rural US.

It seems that nothing is more important now than wealth or the pursuit of wealth. Not only do we destroy most everything we touch these days but seem to relish in constant grow as we degrade our quality of life.
