3. You know how you can infer a higher-order principle of some sort
from some particulars and then you test the principle and revise it if necessary, match it to similar principles, and/or hypothesize dynamics between it and different principles, and look for particulars that fit the principle-patterns that you've worked out, etc. etc. etc. . . . I don't think Repuglicans do any of that.

They just take whatever they're given.

4. Very astute observation.
Right wingers are myopic, short-sighted, unable to see past the immediate gratification of what their greed and power lust dictates.

Like children, they need to be GROUNDED by very firm parents who don't buy into their petty temper tantrums EVER. Those parents are us. All of us. We are many and we are sane.

6. their big picture is less taxes, less government, and trust corporations, but
you're right. It's sold to the average joe with misdirection, gossip, and character assassination.

8. "Both parties do it" is now the republican favorite response to anything.
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 05:23 AM by B Calm
Yesterday I mentioned about the REPUBLICAN Governor of Indiana giving away our toll road to a foreign business, that was what a republican said back to me. When I came back with name one Democratic Governor who gave away a toll road to a foreign company, all I heard was silence.

10. A republican that don't lie, ain't got nothin' to say!
And they are the double negative experts. Fear and skeer is all they got to sell the country. A bunch of childish, narrow minded, paranoid, losers and all their ill gotten blood money can't fix that. They know they can't win ANYTHING without stealing, cheating and lying.

A good rule of thumb is...If a GOPer's lips are moving and smirking...he's/she's totally full of shit!

17. Years of the parents "Experts" teaching the kids bad habits.
The kids see the parents bully, lie, cheat and steal and they think it's okay.

The pubs teach the kids it's okay to be a total asshole yourself, but it's only bad to be bad, if you're the other guy. Why wouldn't the kid turn out stupid like Bush, Cheney, Trent Lott, Mitch and that sow pig wearing the purple heart band-aid in front of gawd and everybody and so on?

I condemn THIS repulsivecan repugnantcan sow...

44. Their "Big Picture" is pretty much worthless to us infidels, so what's to talk about?
They all know the Plan, at least one of two contradicting and cooperating worldviews, it's their basic premise of operation. What's left is dissing those not "in on it" and making a quick buck here and there.

For a lot of 'em, it boils down to Armageddon ASAP, complete with the presumed nuclear jihad. "Come Lord Jesus!" Yea, when the pile of bodies reaches forth unto the heavens themselves, the Christ will descend upon a staircase of bloody human flesh in glory to judge the living and the dead, and they and those very much like them will be "saved."

For the major players, the Big Picture is all about empowering Big Money, and financing Big Power. Their "Kingdom of Heaven" is the realization of corporate supremacy enforced at taxpayer-funded gunpoint, where all boundaries and barriers cease to exist for the transnationals, and the commons are completely dominated by wealthy elites. They'll talk the Godspeak, too, when required by political pragmatism, but it doesn't mean the same thing to them that it does to the rest of the congregation -- at least, not in the compartmentalized part of their minds where they hold the completely opposing set of principles that govern their day to day activities.

Why the heck would they talk about that big picture stuff? It's much easier to get good conversations going about the minutia, like the "gay agenda" or how intrusive government is keeping them from owning their choice of weaponry. Bring up either of the "Big Picture" topics, and it's not even worth discussing. The congregation doesn't understand the second picture enough to talk about it, the players don't really give a shit about the first picture, and neither wants to seriously discuss the Big Picture they have in mind for the planet with an "outsider". Why not? Because deep down in their heart of hearts, they know their Big Picture is cruel and ugly, and they are ashamed of it.

46. I have the opposite view
They never want to get into details about how their great plans are to be implemented. They just speak in grand hyperbole and vague concepts.

For instance, ever notice that they'll never describe what Iraq will look like if America "wins"? Will it be Sunni or Shi'ia? What about the Kurds? And all the smaller factions?

They never want to talk specific details, only generalities (e.g., Freedom, Liberty)
