What do the Republican beliefs teach our children?
1) "Taxes should only be cut, not increased", "We should want our own money for retirement, and not share to help others"
Translation for a child - It's okay to be greedy. It's okay to never share, or give to help those in need.

2) "We have a right to carry guns", "Shooting and killing animals help the animals by keeping the population down"
Translation for a child - It's fine to have a weapon. It's okay to hurt or kill animals, regardless if there is no real need.

3) "Marriage should be between only a man and woman", "Gays are sinners"
Translation for a child - It's okay to hate. Even if two people love each other, they shouldn't have the same rights as others.

4) "Poor people are lazy", "Poor people should go find a job, and quit complaining"
Translation for a child - Ignore what you learned about Jesus Christ helping those in need. Poor people are not as good as you.

Feel free to add others...

2. Might makes right. Those with the most weapons can do whatever
they want. No one else's opinion counts.

4. Wall-Mart does not need to pay it's employees because you should be more
motivated than to work at Wall-mart all your life. It's NOT Wall-Marts fault it's YOUR fault you don't make any money. Wall-Mart GOOD! Wall-Mart Workers BAD!

5. Trick question:
Teaching our children is NOT a Republican belief.

Teaching leads to knowledge. Knowledge leads to self-empowerment. Self-empowerment leads to independent action and self-governance. Think the Republicans want that??????

I don't think so.
