Oh yes of course it's all to be blamed on "the Republicans", because we
all know human nature is a one way street, yes?

You're a raving hypocrite and only a partisan polemicist like yourself
would seek to turn a food group into politics talk.

They're largely incompatible, thankfully.

But that won't stop trolls like YOU from salting the fields and burning
your perceived opposition down.

What a self-serving ladle of bullshit you slopped out here.

Take your false indignation and carry it, and your political animus,
back to where they belong - in a POLITICAL group, you asshole!
