Republicans Don't Like Women. How Tehgay.

Every day from the GOP, a fresh outrage, a fresh immorality, a fresh slap to human decency, spitting on people less fortunate, an ugly faith in social Darwinism, built on, at best, an odd, anti-Jesus, puritan interpretation of the Bible that considers wealth a blessing on the worthy, that fetishizes the horrors of an Apocalypse, and seems to regard suffering and weakness as evidence that it is deserved, that it is a mark of the unrighteous. Jesus' message was, you might recall in passing,  the exact opposite.

But this contempt for American women is breathtaking. GOP to women: your and your children's lives are less important than special tax breaks for exactly the people who don't need the money.

None of this would save anything like the money that would come from say, ending subsidies TO oil companies, cutting military bands - yes, bands- by 2/3 (savings in the hundreds of millions), or greatly increasing the maximum taxable earnings for deductions for Social Security, or of course ending the tax breaks for the wealthiest, a moral principle for which they were willing to shut down the government, or cutting a single carrier group.

They like men who look like women, though.

Anyway, it's unnatural, and just because it's fun and you can get used to it doesn't mean it's right. Republicanism, I mean.
