The haters and abusers
I was watching an ASPCA commercial showing the terrible abuse against animals and it struck me that what is going on with the teabaggers and GOP is not much different.We have many cruel factions in this Country attempting to erase any and all safety nets for the elderly, young,unemployed,disadvantaged along with women's rights and gay rights!In many instances this could lead to death.These programs are life saving and necessary in a civilised society! Yet we have elected politicians charged with the well being of their constituents who are voting to eliminate programs to help U.S citizens.Some State Governors are gleefully attacking working families and State employees by eliminating benefits or decreasing them and it will get much worse.They feel they are victorious in the attack on the middle class and others that they deem expendable ,this victory in their small and narrow minds emboldens them to commit more crimes against those that trusted them with their lives.As long as we are silent and passive it will continue until The U.S. is in ruins ! We need the voices of sanity to crush these despicable spoilers ! Trust me you might rejoice now about what you mistakenly think is the "Right direction" But you will cry tomorrow when you no longer have the right to choose where you work or live or how much you make at your work.Make no mistake these destroyers of Democracy will never stop taking until there's nothing left and then they will destroy each other!
