3. They need therapy and education
alternately: a GAW.

Lowest life forms on the planet, poor dears. And too stupid to realize this.

8. Silly and, in the long run, insignificant
Name me a ultra right winger that did anything important. You gonna say Reagan - well, Reagan didn't do a damn thing, he read speeches and all they accomplished is to have hastened the demise of a corrupt Soviet Union. Today, Communist China is poised to replace the USA as the world's economic superpower.

Name me ONE ultra RW Nobel Prize winner. Name me one Freeptard that came up with anything new. Well you can't because the same psychology that makes them Freeps also keeps them from coming up with ANYTHING new. Innovation requires the kind of thought that will kill any freep leanings.

10. Reagan, Soviet Union
Some would argue that Gorbachev and JP2 had more to do with the fall of the USSR than Reagan did. We was, after all, reacting to Gorby's initiatives.

How can they claim the USA won the cold war when 1/4 of the world still lives under the iron thumb of communism?

9. Here's the deal.
Knee-jerk, reactionary neoconservatives, which is what the R party mostly is now, is based mostly as an emotional reation to fear amd a desire to acquire control. Mostly it is the fear of any real change in society. This is why they cling to the concept of unchanging truth in religion. Freepers begin with a premise that they accept for emotional reasons and then find 'facts' to justify it. Since their philosophy is based in fear, their solutions to problems are either to deny it exists, blame those who are suffering, blame those delivering the message or react violently. All of these choices call for inaction. Rs accuse liberals of hating America because it does not occur to them that we are looking at the problem from a perspective that does not involve assigning blame.

Ask an R to justify his opposition to abortion and the conversation will ultimately turn to what rights the prospective father has in the process. The issue is not life, it is control. Rs would rather live in a hole than let the state exert any control.

Ds seem to come in two varieties: a mirror image of Rs that operate out of compassion instead of fear and those who seek a fact-driven basis for the governance of society.

They are basically children emotionally and intellectually. They can be very educated, but still see the world like children.
