It is republicans, REPUBLICANS, pure and simple. The whole fucking lot of them! In elected offices, in the public, in the media. They have been against dark skin, free thinking, intelligent people, and FREEDOM ITSELF, for as long as I can remember....and I am pretty old, so I fucking remember way back! They represent repression, greed, hate and control.

We marched in the 60's for civil rights, voting rights, the environment, women's rights, abortion rights (which affects the lives of both sexes!!!) and many many people were killed (think Ohio and southern lynchings), and had their heads busted (think '68 democratic convention and equal rights), and we marched against wars-for-money (think Vietnam).

Democrats, and liberals in particular, have been on the right side of every issue that supports LIFE, while republicans have sought to destroy not just life itself, but especially quality of life.
