Well....I'm glad it wasn't just me that saw all those things. I was afraid I was projecting or something....

(Oh, Ebbie....thanks! "sniggeringly smarmy"!!.. I was too aghast to find words.)

(Yes, Bobert...they "want to rule". That IS the main difference I find between todays left & right... the Democrats/leftists hope you will agree with them, but they want to at least allow everyone to live, love, worship, assemble in their own way; while the Republicans/rightists want you to think like them: but if not, they wish to control what you can do and to impose standards of behavior, etc. on others.)
(Yes, I KNOW they are not all like that, but the extremists that are having so much influence in the Republican party these days are SURE they have **truth from on high** as to how things should be done...and many of the delegates to this convention are from that extreme wing).)
