Thought of the Day: When A Conservative Speaks

An angel gets its wings? I presume so, why else would they say the most obnoxious remarks on a regular basis, if not to provide angels with wings? Why would they say whatever comes to mind with no regard for the words they say, if not because every time they spoke, an angel is able to fly?

Here are just a few examples of Conservative jackassery. I just have one question: How do they get away with comments like these? I understand that people have a freedom of speech, however, there should be consequences given certain things being said. Comments made by the extreme right, from the big names of Fox News to the random old lady on McCain's campaign trail that claimed Obama "is an Arab", are so strewn with hate and racism and violence, I don't understand how they can be made on such a regular basis with no reprecusions. How can somebody get away with saying a Senator from Washington should be hanged for her political beliefs? I don't understand where our country's sense of civility went to. What happened to the proper debate and civilized governmental conversation that defined our country in 1776? It seems like the country that was founded then, on the principles of debate and reason, has been replaced by maniacs in the last half century, lunacy is the definition of our political conversation today, madness the tone of choice for the loudest speakers. And it's so out of control, I don't know of any way to fix it.
