15. When Teabag Right Wing Idiots scream
Sat Apr 4, 2015, 10:40 PM
Apr 2015

“USA USA, USA” at their events in Washington...Does screaming USA in that context bother you?
and in fact that they wave numerous American Flags near the capital screaming hateful slogans at the White House.. Does that bother you? The right wing with the help of Corporations have been trying to hijack Nationalism ever since 911....The example I brought up is small part of that..
