I'm so tired of the right-wing being hateful, cruel, spiteful, and dishonest. There is so much racism, bigotry, misogyny and sheer vile coming from the right-wing, and it makes me embarrassed to be an American. All the right-wing does is attack everyone who is not like them. History shows that their policies and ideology is to take away the rights and opportunities from the vast majority of Americans, and give it all to the rich. The Republican Party is filled with treasonous hypocrites, who want nothing more than to make the rich even more wealthy at the expense of the country.
I am not going to be silent. I am going to turn their tactics back upon them. I am going to use their practices against them. I intend to use my voice to stop their active destruction of my country, even while I remain a solitary voice in the wilderness of a red city deep within a red state, surrounded by the hate of the Greedy Obstructionist Plutocrats.

“Kensington is a tale of two cities - it is among the wealthiest parts of this country but the ward where this took place is one of the poorest.
“The judge-led public inquiry must be speedy and all residents should have access to legal aid and the support they need.
“Residents must also be re-housed, using requisition of empty properties if necessary, in the community they love.
“I would like to give thanks to the firefighters who risked their lives to save the lives of others, and the police and the paramedics who did the same.
“Some hard questions need to be answered. It cannot be right that in the 21st century a fire like this happens.
“It’s the responsibility of Government to tell us why the lessons of Camberwell, Southampton and Shepherds Bush have not been learned.
“There must be a proper ministerial statement in the Commons when the Commons is once again sitting and the Government must also immediately make sure the families affected have the resources they need.”
