CONservative ("right"-winger) thinking is naturally counter to our physical beings.

"We are all born beautiful but the RWingers have been deformed by their ideology..."

And to add insult to injury, they've even perverted the very word "right." I don't even like using it anymore. Because their idea of "right" is TOTALLY WRONG!!!

His love of and devotion to her throughout the entire ordeal she's experienced has been nothing short of incredible. Her strength and inner beauty has been so glaringly evident I can't imagine *not* being inspired by her.

Two remarkable human beings that I never cease to be impressed by. They are all kinds of awesome.

if I ever saw one. They were clearly made for each other. I feel in my heart Gabby will make continued progress over time, but I'm so happy they're getting this recognition now.

They're both great examples of turning tragedy into positive activism. As a couple they're unbeatable.

for congress? I could see him being an easy candidate for president eventually. Any repugnant party opponent would look foolish criticizing him.
