11-Year-OldHispanic BoySings National Anthem, And GOP Racists Go Berserk



I am frequently attacked by former GOP colleagues from my years as a GOP City Committee member and accused of being a "single issue" voter - i. e., gay issues - so that my former friends who are drinking Kool-Aid by the gallon can ignore the utter racist and religious extremist nastiness that has become the norm for the Republican Party base.   The blatant racism and homophobia that go hand in glove with today's GOP is to me sickening and are displays of neither patriotism nor the Christian values that the GOP claims to worship.  The recent NBA playoff in San Antonio, Texas - a city that was part of Mexico long before American immigrants rebelled against Mexico - where an 11 year old Hispanic boy gave an amazing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner sent the GOP base into convulsions and spittle eruptions.  The video of the boy's performance is above.  The  GOP and "godly Christian" tweets are set out below via Liberals Unite are set out below.

Yes, the comments are ugly.  But that's the reality of today's Republican Party.  The party of our parents  or even of just 20 years ago is gone and its current incarnation is horrific.
