The Republican Party is a subversive, anti-Constitution, anti-American Party
It is unfortunate that the Tea Party jumped on the wrong side of history.

The Preamble of our Constitution states:"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The Republican Preamble states:"We the people of the United States, in order to provide for the common defense, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Because Republicans do not believe in forming a "more perfect union" or "establishing justice" or promoting "the general welfare". Except for defense, they want to destroy government. Not just some government, but all government. This has been their goal since the Reagan years.

When they are not in power, they scream about the dangers of huge deficits. When they are in power, they run up deficits intentionally, as large as they possibly can, to destroy the government's power to spend on programs that might help the people. They are not honest about their intentions. They lie to their supporters and the American people. Just as they are doing now. The Ryan plan will create even larger deficits so they can call for the dismantling of Medicare, Social Security, and all programs that help the American people. This is nothing short of subversion.

1. And unfortunately the Democratic Party has made a habit of co-opting and enabling them as of late...

3. You can be a Republican or an American but not both
Everything the Republicans currently stand for is completely anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-Government, anti-tolerance.. The only thing they are not Anti is Wealth and Power...

4. Sad thing is, the Democratic party isn't far behind.
It's what happens under the two party/same corporate master system of government.

6. My only problem with your OP is that it is not quite scathing enough to convey the full range of
dastardly depravity pubs are foisting on our nation, its fiscal integrity, and the old, poor, and middle class. :thumbsup: :patriot:

8. and anti-Christian too
I mean sure they claim they are Christians but honestly, they follow the words of Paul, the first fundamentalist.

9. Very true.
Most of them are like Rush Limbaugh. And look at how Lawrence tore him to shreds.

10. I've never like "Saint" Paul.
Most of the teachings of Jesus are noble, but Paul ignores those or twists them in most of his letters. Hell, the only good thing I can think of in Paul's epistles are the "Love is" verses and I'm not sure if the book those come from was written by Paul. Honestly, James is the best of the New Testament epistles. His teachings on money are lost on the modern day conservative "christians."

13. And when were you born? The republican party has been nothing but
what you described since Nixon. Just study history.

14. Don't forget the police state they require for crotch sniffing and making sure there is no fun had.
They also are fond of prisons but the market can run those.
