However, not all of them speak so openly.

PFAW highlights these stories because they suspect -- truthfully, I suspect -- that most of the GOP, including elected officials, think precisely this way.

We ignore them, or try to hide them, at our peril.

Thus why we have Right Wing Watch.

Never forget that the GOP is a theocratic party of barking mad idiots.

What year was the transgender class given? I learned about communism, because I was in school in the 80s. Too bad my Dad didn't know that - he was a public school teacher, guidance counselor, vice-principal, and principal.

These are the type of people we're supposed to "reach out" to in order to "move forward". Screw that. I don't want to move in any direction with a-holes like this.

Has anyone else noticed there seems to be a coordinated effort to trash free (and mandatory) education for all? I've noted for some time that many republicans don't want an educated public; education, to them, is desirable only for the "ruling class" (i.e. rich Republicans).

People who know just enough to keep the machines running, but don't question the system.

I have read them saying that there are certain things (religious dogma) that are not to be questioned.
