What Republicans really believe but won't admit |
|
I want to put together a list of the core beliefs of Republicans. I mean the ones they really believe but cannot admit.
I will get the ball rolling:
1. Blacks and hispanics vote Democratic in large numbers because they are inferior and have a lower IQ.
2. If unions would just go away all companies would pay workers good wages and treat them with dignity and compasion.
OK you get the idea.

"God Bless Conservative, Born again Christian America and no one else! If you aren't a God fearin' Born again nut cake then you shouldn't be in America! Go to France!!!!!!"
It's what the conservatives believe, they just won't admit that they are a bunch of bigots!

it's because they're lazy idiots who don't want to work, or who don't work hard enough.
As opposed to the fact that all those who have money have worked hard and long for it and deserve every penny.
Public school teachers are all socialist liberals who are corrupting the minds of the young.

...blindly agreeing with what the Republican government says. If someone disagrees with the state, they are unpatriotic and possibly even in league with al-queda.

19. Say the opposite of objective reality: |
|
Slander the honest as liars, patriots as traitors, and accuse others of committing your sins. Call the objective media "liberals" and right-wing punditry "fair and balanced" Portray the poor and minorities as fat cats, and rich white men as a victimized group. Call logging "healthy forests". Call deregulating industry a "clean air initiative". Call tax cuts for the rich a tax cut for the middle class. Call Iraq the capitol of terrorism, and the mountains where Osama bin Laden sits plotting more attacks inconsequential.

21. "Negroes and muslims should be burnt on the stake" |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-01-03 02:38 AM by trigz
(well, or something like that) and what's more, they barely try to hide their racism. The policies of the Republican party are similar to what you'd expect from one of the outright fascist parties in Europe; extremely "religious", introducing repressive and undemocratic legislation, chastisizing entire religions or peoples as barbaric and then bombs them, imperialistic conduct abroad without the tiniest regard for international law and the international community. institutionalises domestic racism, quenches all criticism of the head of State by demonising the critics as "unpatriotic" or "traitorous" (much like the terms "un-German" or "Communist" under Hitler), delegates all power to their friends in big business to repress rebellion through effective control of the unemployment rates...yes indeed, the Republican party bears tons of similarities with a regular fascist party here in Europe.
Ah, what a nice rant. I need a coffee now. Have a nice day, dears :)

believe in smaller government and keeping them out of the lives of the populace unless of course it stops people from having obscure sexual acts like oral or anal sex.

26. off the top of my head... |
|
Homosexuality is a sinful and dangerous life threatening lifestyle... unlike the gluttony of Jerry Falwell, Johna Goldberg, Bill Bennet, and Dick Cheney.
Democrats are traitors on the war on terror, unlike Novakula who sabatoged the CIA.
Clinton his hiding behind every corner, under the bed, and beneath the stairs waiting to jump out... and is responsible for (insert any current problem or future problem).
The 600 conservatives of AM Talk Radio make up the liberal media.
Women who have abortions are evil and women that raise their children through government assistance programs are even more evil.
Bill O'Really won a Peabody, an emmy, a grammy, four golden globes, a nobel in medicine, and an essense award.

they would believe that there was once a Golden Age of American society where everybody was free. Then certain things happened that took that freedom away. The Golden Age ended, and now they must reclaim America and reinstitute a Golden Age. Often this GOlden Age is the 50's, other times its around the founding of the country - sometimes its both.
Generally race is thrown in as an achor point for the decline of their imaginary Golden Age. Race, class and sex seethe beneath the surface of any discussion with dedicated conservatives.

29. Take it to the conservatives |
|
I just joined this forum recently and I must say I'm hooked, not like Rush Limbaugh hooked, that boy has a monkey on his back named hypocrasy. Before I replied to any threads I emailed the Big Kahunas of this site and asked a favor. I asked if I could "recruit" fellow liberals in taking our message to a Uber-Conservative website called DocWeasel.com, their forum section. They gave me the go ahead and I thank them for that. Seems while taking a break from their book burnings they delete every liberal post. In fact, todays new war on liberals started off with the moderators of that forum beginning a new tactic. Using my name to post fictitious replies. Sort of like soldiers sending letters to the editor they neither wrote or signed. I say we give them more than a few to delete. Join me in taking the TRUTH to www.Docweasel.com the forum section under political animal.
I thank you for the support and I'm sure the world will thank you. LiberatedMind
p.s sorry for the cross posting but I need the help

A pacifist (for that particular war) Dodging the draft, is unpatriotic and treasonous.
A war-mongerer dodging the draft by using money and influence, is a patriotic hero.

32. What a trashy website |
|
Liberated:
I looked at the Docweasel site and after viewing some of the other discussions it looks like a forum for "sophomoronic", underemployed business school graduates who spend all their time in bars trying to get laid. It also appeared that there were maybe 20 different contributors...what a joke.
As with so many of the so-called "conservative" lists most of these clowns come off as the researchers described them; narrow-minded, bigotted, selfish losers who revel in their own stupidity.
Just my opinion, I could be....

33. If you give a tax break to somebody who already has a fortune |
|
and they have already acquired everything they need or want, they will actually spend more money just to stimulate the economy, instead of socking it away in some account offshore.
