The Republicans do not believe that America should be a great country for all
They want to turn the American Dream into an endless nightmare for the many.

If America is not the best country for everyone's general welfare, then they're out to tear America down in the long run for the sake of the very few.

Shouldn't America be best for all, with liberty and justice to boot?

4. You mean only those entitled should have freedom? Hmm
That should leave most Republicans and definitely all of the teabaggers out.

8. They think America is a zero-sum game
And that freedom for some can only come at the expense of freedom for others.

And since they know they'd oppress and exploit others any chance they got to improve their own situation, they're convinced those others are just salivating for the chance to do the same to them.

Some people's minds just run that way. I don't know that there's much to be done about it.
