Looking back….the Right’s uproar over Americans speaking any language other than English was like child’s play compared to what they are willing to condemn now. They despise anything good, anything that offers a hand-up, anything with common decency at its core. From Due Process to SNAP benefits, from suicide hotlines to Head Start, it’s all a no-go. Intolerance is their guiding principle, cruelty their badge of honor.
