"No wonder the nation suffers.
Republicans at campaign stops jeer String him up! and Obamas a Muslim. Get him out of government, with no correction from candidates. At least McCain in 2008 had the decency to set the record straight.
The nation is bitter and disillusioned at this time not because a Black man sits in the White House, but because of false propaganda spun by the right. Hate breeds irrational thought where the hater easily accedes to angry outbursts and violence. Millions dominated by these unfounded emotions become a movement which transforms into future civil unrest, if not skewed elections giving way to bad choices and destructive policies. One cannot think clearly if overcome by hate and anger, especially if those passions are based on false premises.
And this bitterness and disillusionment directly stems from the off-base religious right. Certainly, Republican consultants may be faulted for capitalizing on the evangelical white vote, but the base itself is at fault for bastardizing Christianity. Jesus is not pleased."
