I seriously have had heartburn over this since the 90s, saw what the right was doing to tear the country apart, and it has gotten worse and worse with time.

The one constant is how this county relentlessly indulges their lunacy.

How they treated Clinton.
How the politicized 9-11.
How they lied the country into Iraq.
How they indulged all the craziness against BHO, like the hyperbole over his not wearing flag pin.
How they let the Rs throw an enraged temper tantrum over Ds passing the REPUBLICAN version of health care reform.
How because of that, they gave them the biggest mid term win in our lives in 2010.
How the Rs nominated someone caught on tape taking about grabbing women by the P______ that was a complete and total sociopath, and the country elected him POTUS over a decent and highly capable public servant.
How they threw fits massively disproportionate fits over Benghazi and emails.

I mean, if you are paying attention to that you know where this headed, because there is literally nothing the Rs can do or say that this country won't accept, while being just as relentlessly dismissive of "liberals."
