What's the best way to sum up the Republican ideology in a single sentence?

[ck4829]

This is what you've got... A dystopian nightmare where teachers are evil mind controlling sorcerers, Muslims are out to murder you, gays are out to murder you, atheists are out to murder you, it's persecution and genocide when you don't get your way, union employees get more benefits and that is just abominable but when CEOs get 400 times more than you then that is just the free market and opposing that is SOCIALISM, everyone except for you is on welfare and/or participating in voter fraud, science is a tool created by Satan to test our faith and don't count on support from smart people, and food stamps are the mark of the beast, who do those people think they are anyway, supposedly needing to eat, right?

For me, it's...

Smirk and Snarl. And man-o-man, did they reinforce the meme: EVERYTHING they touched in their eight years of "never was" TURNED TO SHIT. Everything.

Who could have foreseen that giving over control of the nation to an over-aged sociopathic frat boy and his PNAC psychopath sidekick would be a bad idea?

43. Greed is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and ...

“I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed — for lack of a better word — is good.

Greed is right.

Greed works.

Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Greed, in all of its forms — greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind.

And greed — you mark my words — will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

Thank you very much.”

— Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas as the villain in Wall Street, 1987)
================================================================

Sounds like Bain Capital - "“I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!"

"Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." - hmm, I thought the righties didn't believe in evolution. I thought God wants us all to be wealthy, if only we'd try, and only Gordon Gekko, Mitt Romney, Ann Romney (in her own special way), and a relatively few others really try.

A solitary species is a species whose members cannot exist as a group because every resource is fought and contested over amongst them. That's where republican ideology is taking us.
