Over the holidays I drove from Kansas City, MO to Cincinnati, OH to visit family.  I live in the city, and tend to be uncomfortable in suburban and rural environments.  I also tend to see a different demographic on a regular basis than that you would find in a rural farm community or the upper class suburbs.  Along the way I saw a great deal of this.  I also saw a completely different disgusting side of America, bathroom graffiti.   I believe it is the expression of the most ignorant in society.  You’ve all seen it.

There used to be a note of who to call for a good time, now it’s hate for Muslims and the President.  Disagreeing with the president is not something I am condemning, I disagree with him often.  This stuff was no doubt straight up racism.  Someone in Illinois seemed to think it was appropriate to make lewd comments about “The Planet of the Apes” & the first lady.  These were often accompanied by comments supporting wars in the middle east.  They were not specific on what war, only that they feel if you are a Muslim you should be killed.  Is that not exactly the kind of thought process that leads one to fly an airplane into the twin towers only in reverse?  This is a little look at the cycle of violence in action in even the most uncivilized minds of American Citizens.

The comments ranged from claiming the president is a socialist and that he was born in Kenya to the classic symbol of racism and hate, the swastika.   They go on to hate migrants and Muslims.   This all makes me wonder who exactly are these people.  It also strikes me as almost funny.  These are all pro-war, anti-migrant, racist comments of the most ignorant type.  It strikes me as funny simply because this is what the Republican right wing has for some sort of support.  These are the ones who support government control of migration and war.  I do find the walls of a toilet to be the appropriate place for such comments if there is a place for them at all in society.

I guess that Larry Craig did just have a wide stance, he was out campaigning in the restroom. He was writing GOP campaign slogans for the like minded fascist right wingers.
