No matter how bad it is it is ok if Republicans do it. But for anyone else it is hair on fire trash them. If you are a GOPPER you can sleep around, steal, abuse children, promote policies that kill people, lie, cheat, have abortions, use birth control, manipulate, intimidate, be violence, racist, bigoted, cruel, say the most insane hateful and outrageous things in public and on the media, et al.
But let even the most obscure Democrat or any one else who apposes you get as much as a hang nail and they literarily want to murder you in every other way except personally and I wonder about that. And the corrupt insane media just loves them
Don't you all just get so damned sick of this crap and want to spit fire?

(11,733 posts)And because of this, media worldwide are running think pieces about whether California voters should be allowed to decide whether it's OK to kill gays.
Of course it will never happen, but the mere discussion of it is giving cover and "permission" to hatemongers everywhere.

Bobbie Jo
(14,341 posts)You came dangerously close to criticizing Republicans in this thread criticizing Republicans.
MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)My point is that they should be fought and beaten, rather than appeased.
Bobbie Jo
(14,341 posts)Just taking note of a potentially rare moment.
Yesterday's Republican Party was pretty horrific as well. (see Reagan)
MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)How well do you feel that the Democratic Party's done in beating back Republicans and Republican "ideals" over the last three decades?
Bobbie Jo
(14,341 posts)It was horrific back then too. I can't imagine having beliefs in line with that union busting, homophobic SOB.
Can you?
MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)Wow!
As to unions... Republicans were pro-union, at least for some number of years. Not as much as Democrats, but much more than, say... the Clintons.
Bobbie Jo
(14,341 posts)So.....
Of course you know I was talking about Reagan. You're familiar no doubt.
Can you imagine lining up with him?
MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)I guess you read what you wanted to read, rather than what I wrote.
Sad.
Bobbie Jo
(14,341 posts)At least I can say I didn't contribute to the effort of putting him there in the first place.
I read what you wrote, and you disregarded what I wrote. Can't say I blame you, really.
Yes, it's sad alright.

(26,449 posts)You know in my experience Manny criticizes Republicans more than Democrats. I can understand those who are confused about this since many of those criticized are in today's democratic party.

Drone murders as another.

(2,102 posts)They're perfectly fine with it happening to abortion doctors and clinic staff.
At most they'll make excuses that blame the victim. "It's wrong, but..."

(30,677 posts)This quasi religious group holds the famous annual Prayer Breakfast that President Obama and Secretary Clinton attend every year.
Their "religion" teaches that believers are peculiarly and uniquely allowed by God to do anything, any crime, any outrage, including and this is a quote, raping a baby on the White House lawn if it will advance the plans of the Lord Almighty (in their opinion.) They own several rooming houses near The Capitol. and dozens of congressmen stay in the rooms there while away from their home states and their spouses. These apartments have been the scene of more than one illicit affair etc. It's really just the same old totalitarian appeal to any means that lead to the desired end are AOK. They have been around since the 30s, a heinous cult getting stronger every year and they run Washington DC.

Everyone should be aware of these thugs or be screwed by them --on the White House lawn.

(16,133 posts)One of them could perform a beheading a la Isis on all the networks and the discussion would be on his or her superior sword technique rather than the murder.
I don't get it. A person with a "D" after their name steps out of line, or has someone suggest they stepped out of line, they are done.
It is wrong, but it happens all the time.

(67,112 posts)Americans have no idea of the propaganda they are fed day after day. Dissonance from the MSM republican fascist regime is often silenced. There is a war going on in this country and "we the people" are losing.

(67,112 posts)This country will then clearly be a fascist regime.

Fox in the henhouse? There will be no more metaphorical chickens anywhere ever again.

(67,112 posts)realize or let it be known that about 1/2 of of Americans live on the edge of poverty, and would be there if they lost their paycheck for a few weeks.
We could all speak out, but far too many Americans IMO fall for the propaganda they are fed. And I think many just don't give a damn, they recognize directly or indirectly that "the system" is failing them. The republicans are keen on this and will work their damndest to turn most Americans into peasants/serfs working for dirt cheap wages so labor will be here at home.
IMO we are living through a great turning point in America.
