The Next Time a Right Winger Tells You How Great They Are, Show Them This...

by Milt Shook

How in the HELL did so many incredibly stupid people get to be in such a position of power in this country? I'd really like to know.

More importantly, why do so many people not only VOTE against their own personal interests, and the interests of their neighbors, but also advocate for positions that apparently run counter to their stated belief system. And why are people whose lives are obviously more messed up than those whom they are lecturing, constantly hawk their self-righteous bullshit to the rest of us with regard to ethics and morals? I've always believed you clean out your own barn, before you start talking about someone else's barn stinking.

And here's the ultimate question; why do they always seem to get a forum that is equal to everyone else, and why doesn't anyone call them on their rhetoric?

Now, if you listen to a right winger, wherever they live is a goddamn paradise, where everyone lives a chaste, moral, Biblical life, and everyone who lives in a "liberal" state might as well be living in a jungle. Right wingers, of course, are all moral, peaceful and God-fearing, while we liberals are all heathenous retches who kill babies and coddle terrorists.

Of course, we know they're delusional. And yet, no matter how delusional they are, the press will give them a soapbox, where they will get to say whatever they want, and no one will call them on it at all.
