I admit that I was at first kind of swayed by what _dahne_ wrote, because she wrote it so matter-of-factly. I found myself nodding in agreement and thinking "This isn't all that bad at all!" However, swordygardener's piece-by-piece rebuttal revealed the writing for what it really is -- sugar-coated-and-frosted shitcake.

Good lord. I feel unclean now for having agreed with _dahne_ prior to reading swordygardener's response. I think I'll go take a very long, very hot shower.

Also, heaven forbid the Republicans should be "right" on anything! D: They're not the fucking Ku Klux Klan, for fuck's sake. They might have some prejudiced views and intolerant policies, but they are not founded on the very idea of intolerance. (For the record, I don't really like the GOP, but dear lord, I know better than to blame the entire party for loudmouths like Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin!)
