OK, Let's Discuss DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 03:41 PM by Beetwasher
Repubs are pro-lynching. Not a smear, it's just their "philosophy".

Repubs set up prison/torture camps just like the Nazi's. Not a smear, that's their "philosophy", why don't they defend it?

Repubs steal from the poor to give to the rich: Again, absolutely true assessment of their "Philosophy".

Repubs think LYING TO START A WAR TO ENRICH THEIR FATCAT FRIENDS is perfectly acceptable. That's their "philosophy".

Feel free to continue to add your own.

1. America should follow the right path...
<clip>

Republicans, on the other hand, believe that Americans should follow the right path and it is their job to define and enforce that path. There is no need for individual choice since all Americans are expected to toe the line. The people support their government.

This is why I have a problem with today's Republicans. I'm not sure what happened to their beliefs in a small government that stays out of its citizen's lives and is managed as fiscally responsible as it expects its citizens to be. These Republicans have been replaced by religiously biased war profiteers.

Republicans today believe that there is one path and if you are not following it you are simply off course.

If you are off course, then you fit in to two categories of lost souls.

The first category is full of good people that simply need guidance to get back on track. Republicans are happy to help. In fact, it's their duty. They make a pretty good profit at it too.

The second category of lost souls are consumed by evil. These people are too independent to be lead by anyone and the best way to deal with them is to enact laws that will catch and contain these people. Evidence of this can be realized in the fact that the United States, The Land of the Free, holds more prisoners than any country in the world including China. Security and Prisons are big business in America too.

That's what scares me the most today. It seems to me that everything from the Iraq War to Social Security is being driven by a need for wealthy Republicans to profit from our government.

Why do we allow these war profiteers make US policy?

The answer is even scarier. With a debt so high that our children's children will still be paying it, it is the poor that support the Republicans. The very people being abused the most. Because… they think it is the moral and ethical choice. As the wealthy get wealthier, the poor get poorer because they support it.

16. What's bad
is that Democrats have supported the prison-industrial complex too.

Far too much for far too long.

3. Yeah, makes me want to join Charlie Rangel in calling for a draft
If you start sending the sons and daughters of Halliburton into the Gulf, their attitude toward this QUAGMIRE will totally change.

7. Rethugs are the party of white psuedo-Christians.
Rethugs believe that only Fundie Fascists should get our tax dollars, those so called Faith Based, tax breaks and donations. It's their philosophy.

10. Republicans loathe the Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights
Except for the Second Amendment, which they misread. And if the Flag Protection Amendment and Dominionist manifesto Amendments pass (which they will before they get their white, Christian asses kicked out onto the street--or dirty back roads--where they belong), they'll love those as well. That's their putrid philosophy.
