Why I am not a Republican
As all of my loyal readers are aware, I do not belong to any particular political party. Yes, I’m one of those evil conservatives, but I am also a staunch libertarian. I’m a firm believer in individual liberty, limited federal government, and common sense fiscal discipline. The Republican party pays very weak lip service to these ideals, yet – as the old saying goes – the proof is in the pudding. The GOP’s pudding is a foul, rancid concoction of elitism with more than a little hint of totalitarianism.
In many ways, I dislike the Republican party more than I do the Democratic party; the Democrats do not even bother trying to hide their totalitarian agenda. Granted, they wrap it up in sweet-sounding words – like fairness, social justice, equality, yadda yadda yadda – yes, the words are pretty, but when examined, they tell you exactly what the Democrats want: control. For example, do a Google search on Margaret Sanger, then run a comparison of the number of abortions sorted by socio-economic classes, and compare the results to Sanger’s (and Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsberg’s) rhetoric. The results might (or might not) surprise you.
Republicans, on the other hand, claim to uphold the values of personal responsibility, then proceed to blame all of societies ills (and their own many foibles) on someone else. They claim to uphold common sense fiscal discipline, then frivolously spend money in a manner that would make even a drunken sailor green with envy. They claim to believe in individual liberty, then attempt to pass Constitutional amendments to force their beliefs on others. The claim to represent strong family values – at least when they’re not with their multitude of mistresses.
I could go on all day, but I think you get my point.
The Republican party has earned its current place as the minority party. The complete betrayal of the values they claim to represent, combined with an epidemic of noodle spine-itis has made this possible. Maybe one day when the Republicans start walking their talk (and find their testicles), they’ll be less deserving of their state of disgrace.
