You Republicans did to our military what the USSR could not do: demoralize
it, stretch it beyond breaking and set it back decades. And now you want
MORE wars?!Corporate Business Interests
The Republican Party claims traditional values. It has propagated a laissez-faire attitude toward corporate interests and has -- literally -- stood back and encouraged the rape of the earth. You are the party of the earth-hogging SUV. You have literally sowed the wind and reaped the hurricanes.This is as self-defeating as it is embarrassing for those claiming the moral
high ground, particularly those who say that their philosophy represents
traditional Judeo-Christian values. We all live here for crying out loud!
Will you now fight our God and Creator too for the "right" to burn the last
drop of oil while on a weekend jaunt to nowhere in your all-terrain piece of
garbage?Conclusion
The Republican problem is a systemic disparagement of government, community, faith in our institutions, family, God's creation and the mitigating institutions that put a check on something any party aligned with a religious movement should know all about: sin. Greed is not the only problem. Human weakness and stupidity (i.e., "sin") is the problem! And the genius of the American system is supposedly that we have a system of checks and balances to mitigate our fallen state. You have destroyed those checks and balances.Bush felt no guilt about promoting completely unqualified people to high
posts merely on the basis of social, ideological or political connections.
I'll take that a step further: I don't think Bush ever wanted the government
to work. You Republicans hate our government as bitterly as our terrorist
enemies do. You have been trying to deconstruct it. Since the government is seen as the enemy of freedom by you, if it doesn't work so much the better!We have met the enemy and he is us! When Islamists tried to destroy our country by flying planes into the Pentagon and the World Trade Towers, we rightly called them terrorists. When the Republicans in the Congress and the White House set about destroying our country, our standing in the world, our military and our economy, but much more effectively, you called them statesmen. It is time for all Americans -- including all you who are patriotic Republicans -- to sweep away these putrid earth-consuming, family killing, government bashing "me" worshipping individualistic fools--that or to watch our country be swept away by them. We can't afford eight more years of this willful ignorance.
Obama in 2008!
