My open letter to the generic, rank-and-file Republican/Conservative in solidarity with the 99%.

Posted on November 22, 2011 by R.H. Smallwood

I get it. You hate them. You think none of them are worth the effort it takes to spit on the sidewalk. So much venom, anger and disgust for so many people- thousands, millions of people- our children, our workers, our future- while the real villains slip by. The real >>>
