it to America now.
It's been very painful to see the regression this country
has undergone since Nixon started separating the South
from its Democratic roots.
Why are we even having to ask that anyone's life matters?
This is just so wrong on so many levels.
Personally, I don't care if a politician is made to feel uncomfortable,
if that's what it takes to get civil rights back on the table.
However, these rights were fought for and won because Democratic
lawmakers listened to the noise of a whole movement, not because
they were personally attacked or embarrassed in order for activists
to make a public statement.
Also, if you really want to be fair about it as a matter of perspective --
where are all the well-deserved protests, attacks, and public humiliation
of all the Reep candidates that they need every damm day!
