the indiana fiasco should point out to america just how out of touch the GOP is.

while americans are embracing diversity the gop fucking hates it.

i watched the right's politicians this morning talk about 'fixing' the law and calling it 'mis-interpreted'.

bullshit, it's government supported discrimination.

Such as:

"PHOENIX, March 30 (Reuters) - Arizona's Republican governor, Doug Ducey, said on Monday he has signed into law a controversial measure blocking women from buying insurance that includes abortion coverage through the federal healthcare exchange."

and of course their goal to destroy social security and medicare by privatizing those programs, repeal Dodd/Frank, etc. etc. etc.

and they mostly happen to be concentrated in one region of the country. I really doubt most American's are on the side of most progressives, that is a pipe dream.

There is nothing wrong with conservative politics. Conservative politics are the bestest in the world! They are infallible! They are perfect! And everybody likes them! They just don't know it yet!

If people don't like conservative politics, it's not the fault of conservative politics, it's the fault of the people!
All it takes are a little bit "messaging" and "clarification" and the people will realize how stupid they have been to object to conservative politics!

This reminds me of an episode from 1953 in the communist German Democratic Republic: People had demonstrated against an increase of the working-quotas.
As a response, Kurt Barthel, president of the east-german writers association, penned an op-ed, lambasting the workers for betraying the government and how hard it would be for the government to trust the workers again.
In response to THAT Bertolt Brecht wrote the poem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_L%C3%B6sung , suggesting that if the government distrusts the people, the easiest solution for the government would be to dissolve the people and elect new ones.

the majority of the people in the "bible belt" and the former confederacy. The repub leadership and strategists are hell bent on pushing this cultural and regional division, and they are not idiots.
