"15 very bad things Republicans would do if they got their selfish way.

by Dennis Rahkonen

"... Here's what an unfettered Republican Party would do "for" America:

3) Stubbornly deny the existence of ominous climate change while blithely pumping more pollutants into the environment from lucrative, dirty industries and practices. Although reputable scientists say 350 carbon parts per atmospheric million is the safe limit for sustained life on Earth, Republicans dismiss the frightening fact that we're already at a carbon level of roughly 390 ppm.

5) Continue to criticize and insufficiently fund public education, advocating private schooling instead, thus entirely ignoring that progressive public systems are used in every country that has education outcomes superior to our own.

11) Continue to lie about the alternative, affordable health care for all that some fifty world nations' people overwhelmingly support, thereby propagandistically leading Americans to think that having private insurance whose premiums are rising at rates three times higher than our pay -- and which routinely denies coverage when it's required most -- is somehow preferable

13) Shamefully try to lend credence to their avarice and social irresponsibility by revising the Bible to obscure passages that place human need before abject greed, attempting to turn it into a facilitating guide for modern peers of the temple moneychangers whose tables Jesus angrily knocked to the floor (and who undoubtedly wouldn't be mentioned in the amended version that one conservative group is actually, amazingly trying to put into circulation)."

1. Here's the new right wing edited version of the Bible

"It is easier for ... a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."

2. News Flash: The Republicans Are Getting Their Selfish Way

and that's been true since Reagan. The question is, how to stop them and their Democratic collaborators who have sold themselves to the highest bidding corporations?

3. If they selfishly give me healthcare that everyone else pays for, I'm all for it.

4. I don't agree with #6 - Eliminate abortion.

The RW love the fact that abortions are currently legal. This enables them to instantly energize their base to raise money and vote for RW fringe candidates that claim to be 'pro life.' If all abortions are made illegal, the tables would be turned in terms of ability to energize their base, and they know it.
