Republicans don't care

[realFedUp]

I'm borrowing this line from Janeane Garofalo
because it's true...

They don't care about huge national debts.

They don't care that votes aren't counted and elections rigged.

They don't care that the U.S. condones torture.

They don't care that our rights are being whittled away daily.

They don't care if your medical and library records are read by government agents.

They don't care if a government agent enters your home without notice or reason.

They don't care that Congressman are taking payola from contractors and lobbyists in exchange for contracts and legislation.

They don't care about clean air and water.

They don't care about smearing a good person's name for political gain.

They don't care about killing thousands of innocents, just the brain dead and cellular.

They don't care about the right of dissent, just about saving a piece of cloth.

They don't care about the law.

Add your own.

1. They don't care about anything but this quarter's bottom line on profits

They have no ability for delayed gratification, and they don't give a shit about the mess their children and grandchildren will be left with.

[realFedUp]

2. exactly

and our children and grandchildren will be left with.

[sui generis]

3. well, they're sociopaths. They don't HAVE to care

and they're quite proud that they don't.

Yes, what we knew all along is true: they really are mentally and biochemically defective, and that's not just rhetoric and hyperbole.

4. ... as long as ...

They don't care about huge national debts.
... as long as they collect and somebody else pays.

They don't care that votes aren't counted and elections rigged.
... as long as it's someone else's vote that's not counted and they do the rigging.

They don't care that the U.S. condones torture.
... as long as they're doing the torture and someone else does the fighting.

They don't care that our rights are being whittled away daily.
... as long as it's somebody else's rights and not their property 'rights'.

They don't care if your medical and library records are read by government agents.
... as long as their name isn't Rush Limbaugh. When it's THEIR records, they squeal like stuck pigs.

They don't care if a government agent enters your home without notice or reason.
... as long as it's somebody else's home.

They don't care that Congressman are taking payola from contractors and lobbyists in exchange for contracts and legislation.
... as long as they profit and somebody else pays.

They don't care about clean air and water.
... as long as it's not the water they drink and the air they breathe and they own stock in a bottled water company.

They don't care about smearing a good person's name for political gain.
... as long as the "smear" isn't actually the truth and the person isn't one of them.

They don't care about killing thousands of innocents, just the brain dead and cellular.
... as long as it's not them or the wage-slaves of global corporations.

They don't care about the right of dissent, just about saving a piece of cloth.
... as long as it's not them dissenting and the 'piece of cloth' isn't somebody else's flag.

They don't care about the law.
... as long as the sheriff goes to their church.

5. Isn't it both funny and sad that the faithful either don't see this or

don't give a diddledy-damn about any or all?

6. I wonder what the middle class right wingers think of this ...

Breaking News Supreme Court Decision = Basically, private business has THE RIGHT of declaring *homeowners' properties* imminent domain.

That means YOU have no rights to keep your house?!?

When the mercenaries are not able to be fully funded with the billions that were recently skimmed off the Iraqi War Chest allotment, The Draft will hit home to the Right Wing Working and Middle Classes in America.

It will, once again take another figurative 2 X 4 over the "easily led" (whipped up by hateful rhetoric to believe they're better) Right Wings' head to realize that Bush-Co don't give a damn about practicing HIS Christian faith nor about the welfare of the average American hourly wage worker. All their love and devotion is exclusively for those within the "investor class", i.e., 3 million and up invested wealth. And NO, that's neither you nor I - so please wake the F*ck Up!

Too many people are overly flattered when being told that they're ONE special (God's chosen) group (evangelicals, republicans, nationalistic Americans) is MORALLY SUPERIOR to all others. The EVIL Liberals are supposedly in co-hoots with the terrorists and they're like the Anti-Elvis = *They're Everywhere!* The forgoing propaganda is just plain NUTS but it feeds the ego of people who exclusively clique with only other members of THEIR GROUP.

Wake up dear American sheeple! Realize that Big Brother Bush-Co is punking US working people (all but the wealthy) out to both big business and multi-national corporations?

[realFedUp]

9. What's sad is they don't realize that liberals are working for them

and their rights and their children's rights.

It's kind of ironic in a sad and stupid way.

[Inland]

8. Well, you have to prioritize. First, gays & abortion have to be outlawed

There will be time to sweat the small stuff after the rapture.

[Double T]

10. right wing republican litmus test : when all that matters is me, myself,

and I and screw the rest of you

[realFedUp]

11. yeah, a real Christian ideal.

:sarcasm: more like Dominionist thinking.

[ElectroPrincess]

12. Yes, some right wingers ... but other have been so whipped up

with the boogie boogie boo "FEAR rhetoric" of a terrorist under every piece of furniture, that they want to believe (pseudo) Strong Authoritarian Leaders will protect them and always speak the truth.

When I was a young woman (19 y.o.) from a right wing libertarian family, I loved my Army R.O.T.C. drills. It's embarrassing but I bought into all the hype that liberals hated America. Why? Because it gave me more recognition within that circle of friends.

Unlike my husband of 23 years, I voted for Reagan not Carter. The right wing are basically "good people" but isolated from the rest of us. Therefore, just like with racial segregation, right wingers imagine all kinds of terrible traits that must belong to liberals. Why? Because their beloved Authority Figures say so.

The right wing OWNS the USA mass media - essentially lock, stock and barrel. Therefore, it will be all but impossible to reach the right wing now.

However, I suggest that we TRY - after the draft is implemented - to be forgiving of those moderate republicans, and perhaps a few Fundy right wingers, who are beginning to see the light ... understand the true motives behind this occupation?

A couple of good acquaintances at my parish know I'm liberal. They are right wingers but not bad people. Perhaps they make sense of their acceptance of me by saying, "Oh, she's an exception." However, I can see the wheels spinning through their eyes ... trying to process the fact that I served honorably in the Army, and yet, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Liberal Democrat. Really, these folks first began to like me as a person - now it is very incongruent for them to make peace with the fact that I'm not a Republican - like seemingly the rest of the Parish. ;)

Small steps will get us there. Please try to help those who are having a change of heart / mind. Let's save our TRUE ire for those who are in need of prosecution - The Leaders of this Mal-Administration?

[Double T]

14. I agree, the "FEAR" factor has been hammered, ingrained and...

embedded in many peoples hearts and minds as a means of controlling the population and swinging the votes. The operative word is "right wing" as I know many moderate (mostly sane) republicans do not buy in to all of Bush's lies and deceptions.

[Village Idiot]

13. Don't be ABSURD!!!

They care about huge national debts. How else would they be able to properly market cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Public Education and Public Television???

They care that votes aren't counted and elections rigged. Face it - if Americans votes counted, America could tilt DANGEROULY close to DEMOCRACY!!!

They care that the U.S. condones torture. This is why the current administration reviles the UN, international extradition agreements, the Geneva Conventions and the International Court of Justice. Without these policies, Americans MIGHT be held responsible for WAR CRIMES or CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!!

They care that our rights are being whittled away daily. They need the population docile and compliant. They need cannon fodder for the WoT, and they need it NOW, damnit!!!

They care if your medical and library records are read by government agents. How else are they to know if you haev been reading samizdat...oops - I mean subversive literature, Comrade?

They care if a government agent enters your home without notice or reason, because only then will government agents know if you are a terrorist or agent of a foreign or democratically elected government.

They care that Congressman are taking payola from contractors and lobbyists in exchange for contracts and legislation, because otherwise, how else would they get funding???

They care about clean air and water. Many visit oxygen bars regularly, most live in suburban areas free of smog and pollution...Hell...many of them own shares in companies that SELL clean drinking water!!!

They care about smearing a good person's name for political gain. They care so much that they are becoming best known for the practice!!!

They care about killing thousands of innocents, as well as the brain dead and cellular, but War is Hell and Collateral Damage is unavoidable when you use 500 lb. bombs to take out single houses and wedding parties.

They care about the right of dissent - they encourage it, as a matter of policy - how else can you know who to ARREST???

They care about the law. If you don't know EVERYTHING you can about the law, how can you possible abrogate, bend and pervert justice LEGALLY?
