OMG...just when I thought I'd heard it all from the right-wingnuts....

In justifying the fight/push to defund the ACA:

"Slavery and the denial 0f women's voting rights were also once the law if the land too"



Uhh....yeah....because *that's* a valid comparison!

I find most keep it quiet about being a Republican but it has not failed me for years when they acknowledge it without asking (something I never do). Dead give away for Obama haters is when they say it is not because he is black you know for certain it is why they hate him. I just assume these sorts of things bounce around in Republican heads and am thankful I am not a telepathic.
