Imagine the histrionic response from the Republicans if Democratic leadership said the same regarding disaster relief in Louisiana, Texas and Florida. These are shameless vile people whose depravity knows no bounds.

I believe we Americans held a mirror up to ourselves with this election. What we found staring back was not pretty. The truth is many of us are bigoted, ignorant, gullible, simple minded, unapologetic hypocrites. In short, the ugly American. I come here seeking refuge and resistance.
