GOP intolerance: “It’s part of their political DNA”

Here is the bottom line Gay folks being married is not a threat to heterosexual unions. That threat is DIVORCE,by people who do not take their vows seriously. I cannot express in words my distaste for the “religious wrong” and their extremist allies. I did not serve twenty years in the Army,defending all that the country stands for,to see it hijacked by Christo-Facists,and other hate mongers

They may have gotten bigger, but I sincerely doubt any of them have grown up.
:(

Amen. No, I cannot take a joke. You’re being a dick and a bully, and I don’t have to take it. Or, that’s what I would have said to my Jr. High school bully if I’d not feared for getting pounded into the ground. The RNC, when they do things like this, are just Jr. High school bullies who grew up.

How Republicans see the world:
Racism, homophobia, etc. – “freedom of speech”
Criticism of the church’s practices (ie pedophilia scandals) – “religious intolerance”

Thank you so very much , so very much indeed

thank you my friend

Well said.

Nowadays, those initiatives have become a sure way to rally LGBT civil rights supporters.

A few cycles ago the GOPers would drag a ‘Save Marriage’ initiative on to a ballot to rally the troops, with positive results, from their point of view. Faster than I would have guessed, gay bashing is a loser for them outside of the Slave States. The world has changed, and they missed it, and yes, they can’t help themselves.

Let’s also not forget their overt and continuing anti-gay intolerance.

The Republicans were the ones who insisted that letting gays and lesbians serve in the military would destroy America’s ability to defend itself. And most of them are open about wanting to reinstate DADT.

They’re the ones who not only insist there’s no need for laws banning discrimination in housing or employment for LGBT Americans, they turn right around and insist it should be the absolute right of someone to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

They’re the ones who, unlike the Democrats, have not given up the anti-gay animus and who continue to cite bigoted lies as the reasons why they oppose same sex marriage.

The GOP wants the LGBT vote and support — yet at every turn show they despise us, and would just as soon see us all dead.

Yeah, that’s gonna be really effective…excepting of course, the self-deluded such as LCR.

Not a coincidence since it was followed up by Ronnie visiting a Nazi cemetery to honor the people buried there.

Think of all the happy poor people with health insurance who will be voting Democrat in 2014.

Indeed. But it’s more than a dodge, it’s a leading indicator of a bully.

Dear Santa,
Please send a lump of coal to any and everyone who self-identifies with the GOP. And give Jared Leto my phone number.
Thank you.

It is part of who these people are. Then they bring it to our government. Wonder how some working people and poor folks could ever vote for them? The answer is simple , the rightwing plays to their hatred. How is it possible to vote against the best interests of your family , your community ?

Well , who wants that “N” in the white house.
He’s a secret Muslim .
He wants to take our guns away
He’s not an American
He’s a fascist
He’s a communist
Did I mention he was black?
And he’s a Liberal !!
And as for Liberals
They hate this country
They are not our fellow countrymen
They should be used as human shields
We should kill all but a few to keep as relics
To list but a small sampling.
What we have is a group of people driven exclusively by greed and hatred. They want to go back to “The Good Old Days.” The “Good Old Days” was fiction unless you were a white heterosexual male.
Not so if you were gay , black , or female. If you were gay , you damn well better stay in the closet. If you were black , you damn well better get off the sidewalk. And if you were a woman , you damn well better do as you were told. It was not even illegal to rape your wife.
What they want is what they have always wanted. All they have done is changed clothes.

The GOP is made up of selfish hateful bigoted people. Saying that they just can’t help themselves sounds like we should feel sorry for them and that’s the wrong message. What we should be saying is they need to be consistently called out for their hateful divisiveness.

The NRCC tweet that “Happy Holidays is What Liberals Say” really fried me.

Same here. But I suppose that’s the point, really–flaunting their superior godliness in the most obnoxious possible way. After all, what’s the point of accepting Jesus into your heart if you can’t endlessly brag about it afterward?

The Republicans are singing from an old hymnal that contains this paraphrase of a tune from the musical “Cabaret”:
Fouling my nest again
Wish it weren’t true
Nothing I can do
Can’t help it

But I bet you already knew that…

the gop are anti intellectual because they for the most part don’t qualify intellectually, hate, bigotry, racism and intolerance are passions of the ignorant and the gop don’t even meet that standard.

As the old Latin saying goes: “Silence gives consent.”

and, what’s even MORE telling, is that they are as quiet as churchmice when rightwing colleagues and talk-radio extremists perpetuate these hate-filled distortions and lies.
