...is about the right size, to accomodate the combined brains of a lot of Republicans.
I recognize that there are some who aren't as far to the right. Some, at least, are attempting to try to plug the holes in their sinking ship. Others, like myself, have already jumped off.
My "rant-of-the-day" has been festering, since that Sobby-Lobby-SCOTUS decision. This is my way of rinsing the red out!
Dems, Rebubs, Independents, Christians, non-Christians, athiests and pert-near everyone else, has the right to read this and take from it what they wish, or not.

I am taking a leap, here, to include my sister diarists in this preface: Most women can, and do, react to negative statements with civility, in spite of our "emotions".
Okay...

...I am sincerely sorry for using the term "refugees" and for not researching the "ins-and-outs" of our immigration legislation, prior to writing OUR LADY OF LIBERTY HOLDS A WELCOMING TORCH, NOT A STOP SIGN, STUPID! July 5, 2014.

To anyone that has read it, I was NOT advocating automatic asylum for those children. Only that they be granted the right to be represented through the "due process". without having to endure the vitriol some citizens of Murietta, California spewed at them, while blocking their buses' entry to that facility.

Ever since I saw the picture of our Statue of Liberty, with a sign beside it reading "Defending America", I have experienced one reaction after another. Shock, that someone could twist the meaning of that inspiring monument. Anger, at those who would want others to believe that she is barring them from our shores. Confusion as to why anyone, that was raised in this country and had the same history taught to them, could use our iconic symbol of freedom in such a negative manner. And, sadness, that one of our own had lost his or her moral compass.
What has our country become? What have WE become? What happened to "love thy neighbor, as thyself"?

How many nails do the Republicans have, anyway? I was sooo sure that shutting the government down was the last.
Guess I was wrong!
This chaos, which is our present Republican Party, has succeeded in denigrating and alienating just about everyone who isn't THEM! I can't wait to see what happens over the next few years!
Think about it...Look at what happened in 2012.
From "inside" pollsters to the Party Chair, EVERYONE had sooooo deluded themselves that they could NOT lose, that Romney was writing his concession speech in his hotel room AFTER Obama had been projected the winner!
They are so fractured that I can't even vision them holding themselves together with duct tape!
