I share many of the sentiments of this diary. I do not know that we can definitely say that constantly highlighting horrible Republican behavior is actually in any way productive.
You could make some assertions about some reasons this piling on is necessary; at the end of the day it is moot.
But, then I come across stories like this, that remind me why it is so hard to just ignore these assholes.
NH lawmakers brutally kill 4th-graders' bill in front of them
In the spirit of learning by doing, students drafted a bill to learn the process of how a bill becomes law. They proposed House Bill 373, an act establishing the Red Tail Hawk as the New Hampshire State Raptor. Even though it passed through the Environment and Agriculture committee with a majority vote, some representatives were far from receptive.
Rep. Warren Groen, a Republican from Rochester said, "It grasps them with its talons then uses its razor sharp beak to basically tear it apart limb by limb, and I guess the shame about making this a state bird is it would serve as a much better mascot for Planned Parenthood."
You can tell me all day long that it does not advance a productive agenda to constantly call out Republican idiocy. And I will not disagree.
But at the end of the day, to stand by and do anything except vehemently denounce such atrocious behavior when it comes to light, that, to me, seems to be just as much of a crime.
