Another “comment” from the sourced article (for your reading pleasure).

“The GOP thinks they have accomplished something— they have. They have alienated the majority of humans on this planet, who used to look to America as the dream and and future fulfillment of every humane hope of the world. They have showed off a part of our population who support racism, contempt for the poor and sick, and out-of-control corporate and personal wealth. It appears to all that we not only oppose a decent social safety net, but but that we agree to a political system that no longer functions for the benefit of its people. America’s former vaunted democratic republic is a sad, dead joke.
Reading the foreign press online, it seems that Europe and much of the rest of the world have caught on to what is going on here, faster than a lot of our own people have. But, pessimistic as I have been about our future, it now seems to be coming clear to the majority of Americans.
We don’t want to be this small-minded, hateful, hypocritical theocracy that the Right-wing has tried to turn us into, with its lies and propaganda. We all can see the place that having such an ugly national character will lead us to— and it is a shameful, depressing sight. The America I grew up in had many troubles to work through, but we had a beautiful ideal in our future.
If we allow the GOP to destroy the possibility of that beautiful ideal, in the name of a robber-baron economy and a mean-spirited, dog-eat-dog society, then America, for me, will be dead.”
CW, I think maybe the deranged Chris Matthews wrote that comment.
I also love reading comments. Yahoo has stopped all commenting because, I believe, the majority of the replies were conservative! Anyway, here’s to Free Republic, another comment:
