The GOP: God; Country; Hate

Yeah, the GOP is the party of rank hypocrisy. They love God and they love themselves the country. But let me add some generalizations here. Many of them hate black people, Muslim people, Hispanic people, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Shintos, and just about anyone else on this planet who isn’t a pure white American “Christian,” with the “proper” Christian beliefs.

These are a minority of Americans who really need their own planet. The problem is, they want to own this one. So everyone who isn’t the right color, or doesn’t believe the proper dogma, is the “enemy.”

There are many sects, word wide who have their beliefs and will slaughter anyone who doesn’t share them. ISIS, is one good example.

But is there really that much difference between them and our homegrown crazies? I don’t think so.

And like it or not, most American religious, bigoted know-nothings are Republicans. Many of them will help out their neighbors in disasters, donate some money to charity, and help the homeless. Nonetheless, they are still among the worst haters on the planet.

Having said that, let’s hear your opinion/defense/rationalizations of them.
These are the people who are making American bigotry/racism/hatred continue to exist.
