(5,275 posts)But too bad it took all what you've gone through to have you "get it" and quit carrying water for billionaires and war profiteers (millionaires too).
And it is not unlike Rob Portman and Dick Cheney being anti gay till they knew they had a gay child. Not being able to show any empathy or compassion when it doesn't impact your life.
The inability of a large swath of the right to empathize, to be able or willing to put themselves in other people's shoes, is partly why we're in the mess we're in now. I'd guess the other part is a problem with critical thinking and not taking Limbaugh's and other rightie wack job types increasingly insane rants as any kind of truth.
In the end it's better late than never though, we can use all the help we can get to take the US back from the plutocracy it is now.
