It's a Lowdown, Rotten, Nasty, Hateful Party
Watching the candidates for nomination by the party of GoPervs is pretty scary. The efforts to outdo each other in promoting war and torture says what element they have to appeal to. This is a party of subhumans, proud of their bestiality.
Candidate for the nomination of perverts Romney proclaimed he would double the Guantanamo Bay atrocity and received loud applause.
These are the stalkers who hate having treatment available to injured 12-year-olds. These are the child abusers who send illegals' children to prison. These are the thugs who protest under the name of Americans Against Hate, because Six Flags over Texas has a celebration of Muslim Family Day.
While you are reading this, these spreaders of mindless prejudice are telling families that practice the religion of Mohammadamism that they are the object of spewing hatred. From a blog, Cotillion, promoting the hate:
This would be really depressing and convince those of us who have decency and fairness as ideals if there weren't signs that the hate is causing a backlash. Pictures from Abu Ghraib created such revulsion among good people that the party of torture had to throw a lie and some bodies to the mob. Not even the rightwing press has accepted that ruse.
Congratulations are in order to some better kinds of folks here in Texas. Okay, the Dallas Morning News has turned from 100 years of support for the death penalty to active pursuit of responsible prosecution and an end to the death penalty. The sanity is spreading further, too.
Seeking a constituency among the cruelty faction, here outside of Dallas, Texas, managers of the little town of Irving invented a program for turning over the illeguls to Federal authorities. Funny thing, they produced a reaction.
As in the case of Abu Ghraib, a lot of basic human decency is being offended by the use of hatred and rotten, nasty, lowdown techniques to spread the rightwing view of the world.
Happily, polls show us the increasing distaste for the representative of those appalling winger subhumans, the occupier of the White House. As a figurehead, he's become the poison he spreads.
The tide is turning against rottenness, and it's not global warming, it's humanity. We're Baaaaaackk.

ICNA’s Muslim Family Day that will occur on October 14, 2007 is nothing but a charade, created to spread hatred, but veiled in a way to make the sponsoring organization look harmless. Six Flags will play host to this dangerous farce. If events, such as these, are allowed to continue, more and more Americans could become desensitized to those groups – fifth columns within our borders that wish to do us harm. It is up to those concerned to speak out against these travesties that threaten our way of life.
Americans Against Hate will be leading a protest outside Six Flags Over Texas, on Sunday, October 14th to call attention to ICNA’s ties to terrorist financing. Those that wish to get involved are asked to e-mail info@americansagainsthate.org.

For the second time in as many months, demonstrators clogged Irving's streets over the Criminal Alien Program, which allows local police to turn suspected illegal immigrants over to federal authorities.
Opponents of CAP outnumbered supporters about 6 to 1 in a demonstration where both sides waved American flags and spoke of justice.

Juan Carlos Hinojosa had to man the taco shop, Taquería Zacapu, on Saturday, but many of his family members attended the rally. Mr. Hinojosa opposes the crackdown in Irving, saying it has clobbered his cash register. His business's sales are off by more than a third.
"People are afraid to drive through the city," Mr. Hinojosa said. "Our sales were really, really good."

I love how they call themselves Americans Against Hate. Great post!
The party of subhumans? I sometimes think so, but then I remember that both we and the rest of the world have a long history of cruelty and indifference to suffering. Given the reason, or the chance, many of us would be monsters. It's an old theme in literature, and something our founders were well aware of. It's really a part of being human, not some bad gene that only some of us possess. If we didn't possess that ruthlessness, humans never would have survived long enough to learn how to write history.
What sets us apart from the folks who cheer for more Gitmo, I think, is that we don't celebrate that aspect of ourselves. We want to see that it only comes out when it's really necessary, and to try to listen to the better angels the rest of the time.
Great post, Ruth. I agree with Hecate, that's one sadly ironic title for a group who clearly let their prejudices get the best of them.
