GOP's Idea Of Liberty And Freedom

The GOP's idea of liberty and freedom is the freedom of employers to rape their employees and the freedom of religious zealots to strip women of all their rights. They support the freedom of political and economic bullies to persecute and punish the weaker elemnts of our society. They support the freedom of the rich and powerful to steal fortunes at the expense of the many.

They also support the freedom to murder and kill people with impunity and walk away free.

Not even close.

In fact, I would guess the establishment right opinion-makers are probably more against Zimmerman than for him.

Here's an article from NRO's Rich Lowry with the headline 'Al Sharpton is Right'

You don't see that every day.

..the right to FREEload on the healthcare system, by championing the right to refuse to buy health insurance, yet demanding FREE ER treatment upon illness or accident.

The image below was in an earlier post. I wish I could remember whose to give proper credit. It refers to the Tea Party, but it appears to me that the TP and the GOP are one and the same these days.

Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is often the only protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy.

That is the repuke party of 2012
