Disgusting.

Editor,

Real Americans believe the words of the Founders, that every person has inalienable human rights -- to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that how or whether any particular person worships or doesn't worship their gods is their own business and furthermore that the United States is governed by "We the People" not by any religious sect; that the United States does not start wars of aggression or torture people; that no one, including rich people, public servants, and corporate decision makers, is above the law; that people accused of committing crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty; that prisoners are entitled to a speedy and fair trial before a jury of their peers; that our president is accountable to Congress and the courts; and so on.

Republican race war, class war, and culture war are so out of touch with real Americans' conviction that it is not every man for himself but that we are all in this together that it is disgusting. The un-American, hateful, selfish, corrupt, unpatriotic, divisive tactics of Republican lying, cheating, thieving scoundrels who could never win an election in this country fair and square make me sick.
