ALL FAITHS, GENDERS, AND ETHNICITIES

Something that highlights the complete moral bankruptcy of Trump and his supporters happened Thursday evening. And was promptly mocked by Anne Coulter, a prominent spokesperson for rightwing causes and beloved of patriots everywhere. Which shows, perhaps, that the word patriot may be interpreted differently, dependent on your bearings.

Love of your country is fine. Provided you aren't really just in love with yourself. Anne Coulter loves herself too much to actually appreciate her country. Trump also loves himself. And likely only himself.

And too many conservatives love both of them.

While hating very much else.


"Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities."

-----Khizr Khan, father of Capt. Humayun Khan, graduate of the University of Virginia, killed while serving in Iraq in 2004.


I shall not quote the infandous Coulter or her repulsive hero here. You already know what she said, and what Trump represents. And, if you are reasonably intelligent, you will be now have read enough about Captain H. Khan to know how he perished.

And you've no doubt also encountered numerous ignorant comments, rife with spelling errors and bizarre assertions, while doing so.

You may have even left a dissenting remark underneath a few.

If you are angry, you have every right to be so.

Remember that in November.



Either you can chose to ignore the issues, and by doing so support the party of angry old failures, trailer park meth crazies, racists, bigots, evil real-estate developers and vicious mercenary conservative columnists, OR you can help ensure that the United States does not become a failed promise and a mockery of all of its values for at least four more years by voting Hillary in and many of our congressmen out.

It's up to you.
