The Right Speaks Truth: "We Don't Care" [View All]

[Tamyrlin79]

In the protest against Sheehan, the Right has finally shown their true colors. "We don't care" is the simple, unvarnished truth, and they came down to rub that truth in our faces. They have no shame, because they simply do not care.

They do not care about soldiers and will sacrifice any number to get what they want. They do not care about the innocence of Iraq or the Iraqi people. They do not care about anyone's rights but their own. They do not care if others suffer for their actions. They do not care if others die as a consequence of their decisions. They do not care about anyone who disagrees with them. They do not care about their neighbor or their fellow man. They do not care about the poor, or the environment, or the general welfare. They do not care about torture, or decency, or human dignity. They do not care about ethics, or honor, or virtue. They do not care about justice, or fairness, or equality--except insofar as those values pertain to themselves. They do not care about love, or truth, or peace.

Indeed, they do not care. And that, in short, is the essence of the problem with the Right. They have named their own flaw, the source of their hypocrisy, and proclaimed it as if it were a badge of honor, rather than the mark of shame that it is.

Along with video of their chant, I see the definite potential for a very damaging political commercial.
