From my cable news, my radio, and many of my conservative friends I hear the silly refrain…
It’s both sides! Both Parties are guilty! One is as bad as the other! It doesn’t matter! Republicans and Democrats are equally to blame!
Ever hear that crap? Gosh…It’s the main course on CNN these days. Let me tell you something. It’s ONE SIDE, ONE PARTY, and ONE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
It is REPUBLICANS who are the nasty stupid Wingnuts doing ALL the hollering and screeching at these Town Meetings.
My God man, equal my ass!It is REPUBLICANS who a few times a week are out in front of the death house here in Huntsville wallowing in their self righteous glory in the execution of some poor soul!
My God man, equal my ass!It is REPUBLICANS who most everyday are out in front of an abortion clinic waving nasty placards and screaming hate filled epitaphs at women already in personal turmoil!
My God man, equal my ass!It is REPUBLICANS who shoot doctors in the back!
My God man, equal my ass!It is REPUBLICANS who promote war and attend war rallies!
My God man, equal my ass!It is REPUBLICANS who hate taxes and love guns.
My God man, equal my ass!
At one time saying such things had to be prefixed with "conservative" when there was at least some tiny difference between "Republican" and "Conservative." But as these town meetings so well show us, the shrinkage of the GOP over the past two elections has caused an exodus of the reasonable voters leaving that loud wingnut Republican Base as a larger and louder percentage of the party, causing incumbent Republicans to pander to them or lose upcoming primaries to wingnut upstarts funded by the NRA, Right to Life and other extreme RIGHT-WING CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN groups. Not left-wing or liberal or Democrat. But Right-wing, Conservative and Republican. All of it all the time…
Oh and here is the historic list of what CONSERVATIVES stand for. Which these days has become synonymous with REPUBLICANS
Who nailed whom to a cross?
Who were the Loyalists to the totalitarian monarchy of “Mad” King George?
Who started the Civil War to defend and extend slavery?
Who fought to keep women as property?
Who battled against child labor statutes?
Who argued against the concept of free public education?
Who campaigned against the right of women to vote?
Who opposed anti-trust and monopoly legislation?
Who fought against workers organizing into Unions?
Who defended Jim Crow laws for a hundred years?
Who voted against civil rights legislation?
Who tries to overturn almost every environmental statute?
Who fought against Social Security, Medicare and the Minimum Wage?
Who is trying to pass legislation to discriminate against Gays?
Who is trying to enact the Ku Klux Klan’s central issue of eliminating affirmative action?
Who instills in our children the unique American tragedy of gungoonery?
Who have always put their wallets above the common good?
Who started World War II for Christ sake!
Conservatives or Liberals? Republicans or Democrats? Left or Right?
It’s the historic undeniable factual truth of the matter.
It’s the nature of the Beast.
