Alaska Tea Party Rep. Don Young is the Personification of Everything That is Wrong With America

http://aattp.org/alaska-tea-party-rep-don-young-is-the-personification-of-everything-that-is-wrong-with-america/
"For more than forty years he’s been Alaska’s only Representative. He’s a blatant racist and an outspoken misogynist, who openly waxes nostalgic for the good old days when white men didn’t have to share power with anybody else. He uses racial slurs openly, in public conversation with constituents, in interviews, and does not understand or care why it’s wrong. He’s loudly, obnoxiously homophobic. He’s a jingoist. He’s anti-science in a state that depends for its very existence on science and engineering. He’s anti-science in the state that is most directly affected by the terrible results of ignoring science. During what was arguably the single most important vote in the House in the last forty years, Don Young went on Safari to Africa.
Don Young is an outdated Neanderthal who long ago lost touch with the modern world.
He’s 81 years old and he’s not going to change and he’s made that goddamned clear. And he doesn’t have to. He’s going to go right on being Don Young."
