Biggest Right-Wing Fear Regarding Equality? Losing Their Supremacy



Think about when you see the Gadsden flag and hear the rallying cry, “Don’t Tread On Me,” originally intended for use against foreign invaders. However, now, perverted and used by the Tea Party as if they are losing rights — no, others are just gaining what they’ve always had. And don’t pretend it’s about taxes, because if they really wanted to be taxed less, they’d go after the corporate tax code to make sure billion dollar companies paid their fair share so they don’t have to make up the difference… but no, they don’t. So really, who’s treading on who? That’s right — the supremacists are terrified their ability to reign supreme is being lost.

They are terrified at the thought that they may be losing their make-believe top spot as citizens. They are grasping so hard onto the remaining straws to make themselves feel they are better than someone, anyone, because let’s face it, it may be the only thing going for them.

And this is the real issue going on in this nation. Not the constitutionality of any law or business to deny customers or preventing people from voting — it all comes down to one thing — supremacy. They are terrified of actually being treated the same as others and not as superiors.

Well, to those people…. get over yourselves. Seriously. We are a nation of, by, and for the people. All people. Regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. It is the way our Constitution was written and amended. If you want to feel better than someone at something I recommend coming up with a hobby — and no, that hobby can’t be squashing the rights of others. Even though that currently is what you’re best at.
