A Few Reasons Why the GOP Hates America
(This Post is inspired By NanceGreggs, and I put my answer in that thread, and here as a separate post.)

Why do they hate the troops?

Deary, it isn't hate but disregard--they are, after all, but pawns, players, bodies to count and feed and arms-carriers to reload. They look so different on paper. They are sheer numbers. We hate to lose by the numbers, but this is what the numbers are there for.


Why do they hate the Constitution?

The Constitution is representative of a revolution in human thinking about government; it audaciously dares to propose that a government may be of, by and for the people--granted, but which people? It grants freedoms inappropriate and unthinkable to the rule of the wise and powerful and wealthy over their betters. It's a boring thought experiment by bleeding heart altruists.

Why do they hate our Democracy?

Democracy is nothing less than rule by the many--the people, and people naturally are base and barbarian. They care for little but to eat and screw their pitiful lives away, instead of working for their rightful masters--how dare they think they have a say in the world and how it should be run?

Why do they hate our country's natural beauty?

If by natural beauty, you mean our nation's many material resources, we hate it not at all--we'd do anything to exploit it, because of what it represents--sweet, sweet money. As for why we do what we do to it, you need look no further than the bible--it say (I paraphrase the Bible by way of Ann Coulter) "take it, rape it, it's yours." Meaning, ours. The deserving rich.

Why do you hate our children?

Why should anyone love your children? They are devourers of plenty that could otherwise be hoarded for the deserving rich. They are useless eaters, not yet able to work for their plenty. They are ignorant, and better off so, so that they can't fight back.

Why do you hate our freedoms?

Why do you think you should have them? They are inconvenient to your leaders, who know best. They spread knowledge you need not have, and provoke ideas you should not entertain. This can lead to revolution--and although this nation was formed by revolution--it does not need to continue in its so-called noble legacy of "freedom", "liberty", or whatever other egalitarian nonsense rings in plebian ears.

Why do you hate hard-working citizens?

Don't you know what kind of overhead you "citizens" represent? With your insistence on such things as vacations and sick time and health care, and a limited work week--you are all pathetic, human, replaceable. You cost a fortune that again, is better in the pockets of the deserving rich.

Why do you hate our unity?

You obviously, as peasants, have not read Machiavelli or Sun Tsu. Pity. But all who know the music of the 1960's knows "United we stand, divided we fall." Unified, you might be powerful enough to break the chains of ignorance and oppression--divided by so many things, racism, the so-called "culture war" and other distractions, you are weak enough to be easily managed.

Why do you hate your countrymen?

You obviously don't savvy the difference between countrymen and class men. We are quite loyal to those of our class, but truly--what can our countrymen do for us? Whatever they can do, they shall do by coercion, for if they knew the ends they did it for, they would never volunteer (speaking otherwise killed Kennedy--or perhaps I say too much?)

Why do we hate our national security?

A successful national security leaves a complacent populace, and while complacency is nice, it can in rare instances bolster the confidence of the brave, and create effective opposition to what we represent. Therefore, a faulty national security means insecurity--fear, the big stick to beat the masses into their corrals. The only thing you have to fear is fear itself--the thing we have to fear is--fearlessness. An actual act of courage is an astounding thing--which must be dissected to better understand and combat--like cancer.

Why do we hate our countries' allies?

The thing is: are there such things as allies? In truth, there are but two conditions to which another nation might aspire--a vassal state--like Britain, our former empire, which now does our bidding, and potential conquests--nations we will subdue until they do our bidding. This is what empire means, what it is. We make our history, our present, our future, our paradigm. Other nations may agree-or be squashed.

Why do we hate our country's moral values?

Moral values are an excellent incentive to good behavior, amongst the sheeple, but for the Supermen, they are a hindrance. They represent the conditioning of a slave morality (sklav-moral), nothing more. To those who would do well, abandon your provincial ethics, and embrace the creed of a master--support the GOP! Long live the Empire!

(I in no way endorse this bitter Q&A except as my own feeble attempt to grasp what goes on in the Authoritarian mind. I can be disregarded as an Anthropologist of sorts, trying to describe some other pack of primates. I may be off, but in my worst fears about humankind--these are the answers I forsee.)


(Disclaimer to my disclaimer--I'm pretty much not usually this "dark".)

2. I would say that the hate for the constitutions was big on list
It is the way they think. If you read anything about the history of Europe in Middle 1800 and thought the first world war you would find that hate of the people ruling them self a big item. Look at Nicholas and Wilhelm did to their countries with the thoughts that a constitutions may take their power away. England saw it coming and let it happen but these man just could not and just were fools to their people. Odd that England is about the only place left with Royals. Or I should say countries that let a Constitution come in still have figure heads in Royals. This GOP thinks like that. Rule by elite, education by elite. It is like a small gene pool to get thoughts from and if any thing it brings the country down fast. You need talent. By the way just to make you laugh. Nicholas the second and Wilhelm the second loved to cut down and saw up brush and trees. So did Regan. Do you think this mean anything? :silly: :silly: :silly:

3. Heh, heh--with the cutting down trees,
I imagine an internal monolog like, "And this is Enemy Number one, off with his head, yeah, feels good....and moving right along to Enemy Number two...saw him right in half...feels like being the King!" :evilgrin:

5. I always thought it funny the Bush, Regan and Nicholas did this
When I read the Kaiser also did I could no stop laughing. I am not sure why. Then I always just loved the Far Side. Czar, Kaiser and Bush do have some thing in common. In their make up, if you read about them, they all seem to be very unsure men. With father's that were some what better people. But they hide under this strutting uniform thing that God put them there. Like real second class men in power but not daring to face they were in way over their heads. Interesting men really and it seems unbelievable the harm they cause to them self and mostly their countries. Plus PLUS many around the world.

4. As "Conservatives" who dislike change (the past is always
considered better to them), of course they hate America - it stands for entepreneurship, ideas, progress, change - the very thing that scares them. They hate creativity, free thought - anything that takes the focus away from their angry God, their authoritarian top down structure. They are basically fearful people, so anything different from them makes them afraid. They really are to be pitied - living in a world that frightens them to their bones, thinking that everyone is after their "stuff", living only to wait for death and their "salvation" - yet if they truly believed in God, they would not live the selfish way that they did. They are quite obsolete - thus a self fulfilled wish. To me, they are less evolved in their very being - and perhaps this is what scares them the most. They know this inside, and realize that things move on, yet they are not wired to move with them - so they try to gum up the works, and do whatever they can to stop progress and keep themselves current.

6. I've suspected that one of the reasons that evolution
gets such a harsh reaction from some conservatives is because as an idea--its about change over time, and being neophobic they think, "Well, that can't be good."
