Conservatives hate freedom. This is historical fact, not hyperbole. Their own words and actions verify the argument.

As if bigotry, false economic assumptions (and outright lies), an inability to see that taxes create the system that keeps us safe and allow some to make ungodly sums of money, and just outright hatred of women, minorities, and anyone who doesn’t look or sound like them isn’t enough; yes, they hate freedom.

Why? Because when folks have freedom they embrace love, they embrace a touch of vice, a lot of fun, and try their damnedest not to be puritanical prudes and hate-filled assholes.

And that, at the end of the day, is what conservatives can’t stand.

End of story.

What an incredibly shitty day to be a Cubs fan.

Knowing that Daddy Moneybags of the clan (klan?) that owns the team is a rabid, dog-whistling racist shitbag is one thing. Knowing his brood is trying to extort $300 from the city of Chicago to fix up Wrigley while having at least $10 million ready to blow on racist advertising is even worse.

I’m still trying to get the family tickets to one of the Twins-Cubs games next month. I’ll still watch the team. But I’ll be damned if I am going out of my way to give this prick Joe Ricketts any penny I can avoid handing over.

And to hell with his kids for standing by him. If my dad sounded like a modern day Klucker, I’d call him out as a bigoted idiot like he’d deserve.
