Which is pretty much true of everything Greer writes. But doing a "speed reading" scan of the entire article reveals some very good and in fact excellent points, as you mention.

The main message of this article is that despite professing to be "family values" and "Christian", the Republican Party (aka: right wing) are ANYTHING BUT Christian and family-values oriented in their policies, in fact they are the exact opposite -- so much so that they are actually advocating and attempting to enforce policies that SATAN himself would endorse whole-heartedly.

Unrestrained capitalism destroys life, as does unrestrained Republicanism Jessy169 Dec 2013 #15

Agreed, and those of other parties that chant their mantras are too. A view that leads to death: freshwest Dec 2013 #19
