The Marco Rubio American Freak Show

CONSERVATIVES IN IRAN and America are opposed to the new nuclear weapons agreement. Its the military wing of the Iranian government, and the extreme right wing of the American government, both of which, regrettably, wield considerable influence. The more moderate political leadership of Iran, the president, asserts that religious considerations require that his own military personnel accept the treaty. Maybe we could use the same ruse here: religious considerations require that Marco Rubio and all the rest of our beloved right wing extremist republicans accept the treaty, and quit bitching about it and trying to block it, because, in any event, they can't block it. Any true Christian accepts peace, right? Then why, other than extreme hypocrisy, does the American religious right oppose the nuclear arms limitation deal with Iran? Is it because the American religious (Christian) right wing is also the American war mongering militaristic capitalistic imperialistic right wing? Our modern American right wing conservatives are nuttier than ever. They deny climate change, using weak arguments like "its always changing anyway", and "its changing, but it isn't our fault", or "its changing, but not very much" - all because to admit climate change is to admit that we need to make fundamental changes in our economy and lives, which is anathema to conservatives. Marco Rubio calls Donald Trump "a freak show". Dude should look in the mirror. if anyone is a "freak show", its Marco and his ilk, slickly packaged. Rubio is slick, clever, well dressed, well groomed, with an impressive diploma. All that, and still, he's evil. these climate change denying one percent war mongering republicans are really frightening. We'd better hope they never gain total control of the United States. they already have control over much of it.
