Love Trumps hate?

GREENFIELD, MASS.-When I saw the cover of The Commons, I decided to look over this paper and see what the charming lefties are up to in Vermont. Wow! What a bunch of angry, miserable people! And you know what? I wasn't shocked, not one bit.

In case you missed seeing all their handmade, childish signs, the haters in Brattleboro (a town I will avoid like the plague) called the 47th President a "moron," a "clown," and a "rapist." I rolled my eyes at the "F-Elon" sign, but that's what I've come to expect from these rageaholics. And I'll bet most of them have a "Hate Has No Home Here" sign on their front lawns.

They'll say with a straight face that "Love Trumps Hate." Yeah, whatever.
