Republicans complain about video games and Hollywood, routinely whining that the influence of the mainstream media on the next generation is destroying America. They claim that the unGodly and the sexually immoral are encouraging young people to become degenerate, God hating heathens, bound for eternal damnation.
The Republican agenda is destroying the fabric of American society.
Who is really destroying the fabric of American society? Is it the gays with their homosexual agenda, and Disney with their top secret plot to corrupt the minds of all children via cartoon feature films with catchy theme songs? Or is it another segment of society altogether? A segment of our population that teaches American youth that violence is the answer to all problems; one that role models disrespect for everyone, from teachers to the police, to the president; a segment of our population that pretends to be Godly, but values wealth more than humanity and role models that truth in everything they say and do?
Republicans are horrible role models for Americas young people. Representatives of the GOP promote an agenda which is racist, classist, sexist, violent and uneducated. And thats only the tip of the iceberg.
Here are the top ten reasons that Republicans make horrible role models.
Its OK to degrade women.
1. Sexism. Republicans have consistently voted against the equal pay for equal work act. Republicans have repeatedly stood against the Violence Against Women Act. They consistently pass legislation that attempts to take away a womens right to determine what happens to her own body. They blame single mothers for the ills of society, almost as often as they blame gays, liberals, atheists and the devil.
