But I do agree with some of the criticism. It is too long and logical for some to read and understand. Racism is at the root of much of the problem. Ignorance and meanness are a terrible combination. Of course the fact that all this is fueled by some very rich white people makes things worse.

I would love to know the average annual income, education level and government programs they receive of those who call themselves members of the Tea Party. Can they explain how rich mouths like Limbaugh have helped their lives? Can they not understand that we think no better of them than most people do of the Westboro "Church" members? I am pretty sure you would not get many conservative Republicans to support picketing soldiers funerals. It is intolerable, but I consider the hatred of the President, the birthers, cutting food stamps and education funds as bad as the actions of those Westboro folks.

Oh, rats, I have gone on to long...... no one who needs to read this has that attention span.
