Okay, this article will explain better why I am so angry at the Republicans than I ever could myself. It's the sanctimonious pricks looking down their noses at others while they are no better themselves. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or even a person who knows more than a skeletal amount about human psychology to understand that those who condemn others are most often those who are at fault themselves, desperately trying to divert attention away from their own sins.
For those who want examples, this list should make you happy. It's not a short list, and any of these facts at issue can be investigated if you so choose. I picked a few at random as I don't have the time or interested to look up each one, but I found nothing that wasn't recorded elsewhere.
And now, don't ever ask me again to be polite when referring to this band of degenerates, I simply will not dot it. Yes, we all sin and I make no judgement about that, but I will not have anyone stand in judgement of me, legislation "morality" that does not exist in their own life. Once again, BULLSHIT!
A holier-than-thou stance of the religious right, which allows them to preach about their superior morals, while personally engaging in corrupt, immoral, and illegal activities.
