Sexual Escapades, Criminality, Corruption, Bribery, Amorality, Brutality Etc Ok If You Are GOP

We as a country enter the twilight zone. Anything you do as a Republican that is evil and despicable is ok. But let one bad word slip as a progressive it is the guillotine for your reputation, or your position. Sure Democrats are as human as anyone, but generally they are treated differently than many Republicans.

Some of the most vile and hateful rhetoric coming from GOP reps continues to go unanswered. These verbal trash mouths are treated as heroes and elevated on the public stage. Dare a Democrat even support any initiative that is even remotely progressive or socialist and you would think the world is ending.

Well under conservative ideas the world is ending for any kind of kindness or decency. Food stamp recipients deserve to to starve, the sick deserve to die, and the unemployed deserve to be beaten. Enter the twilight zone when such ideas have support of any human being in their proper mind. We are no longer a decent country and have nothing to pledge to or salute if such disposition is celebrated.

Given the serial perils posed by the Keystone XL pipeline, large numbers of American people have stepped forward in protest. They have demonstrated both in affected states and in Washington DC, they have spoken up at public meetings, and they have created online videos to spread their message. Some have taken to acts of civil disobedience, such as locking themselves to equipment and blocking the paths of construction. Every action taken has been peaceful and non-violent.

And for their efforts, they have been labeled as terrorists: http://www.omaha.com/article/20130617/NEWS/130619686/1685#company-terror-laws-may-apply-to-keystone-xl-pipeline-foes
