Today we'll discuss two more ways they do so, one involving the suffocation of coal miners, the other the cutting off of sick people's medication.
All the while, the right accomplishes this evil with a smile on its face, boasting of their doing good deeds!

In short, I'll tell you why, it's not about amnesty--it's about keeping our part of the bargain.Included will be some clips of right-wingers that will make your hair stand on end.According to the polls, Americans clearly don't support mass deportati ...

Quite the opposite.Modern day Republicans don't walk around in Ku Klux Klan robes. But the GOP has engaged in a decades-old and still ongoing massive and intense effort to prevent African Americans from voting.

89 - Right-Wingers Can Be Proud: 2005 Saw The Greatest Income Inequality Since The Great Depression / Listen To McCain's Descent Into DelusionAs a general rule of thumb, everything right-wingers do is designed to accomplish one of two goals: either (a) transfer wealth to the already-rich from everyone else, or (b) distract everyone else from the fact that (a) is occurring. As far as (a), transfer wealth to the rich from everyone else, the right-wingers are succeeding probably beyond even their wildest expectations.Figures just released show that in 2005 income inequality continued to grow, by leaps and bounds.
