Why Republicans in 2009 are So Wrong in So Many Ways

I have come to hate the Republican Party, in part because of their beliefs (or Philosophy, or ideas on government and other topics), and partly because of the people who have taken Republican ideals and perverted them into its current manifestation. I use the term 'hate' very loosely, here, as what I feel toward certain actions of men goes beyond hate to reprehension, disgust, and other viler retributions. "But why?" You ask? "What have pauncey, inarticulate buffoons, who disrespect life, dismiss common sense and intelligence, and greedily siphon off decency, humanity and compassion for all life done to you?" Hmmm.,.. where to begin?

Watching contemporary Republican politicians like Jeff Sessions, I become disgusted by the hate inside of men. I hate that! And you know what's worse than Republicans? Conservatives! These hypocrites believe in the sanctity of life, except in war, poverty, and the bedroom. Why are Republicans automatically considered conservative? What does fiscal prudence, moral indignation, and slave trading have to do with politics anyway? Can't a drunken day trader or pot-smoking software manufacturer share in the 'America is King' mentality espoused by the GOP? And do you know what's worse than Republicans? Democrats! Socially liberal (Commie - Pinko) tree huggers trying to stem the tide of Capitalistic hegemony... tsk, tsk! Anyway, I digress.

In this vitriolic diatribe, I am trying to draw a line in the sand (the Mason-Dixon Line is a good place to start), between those people (typically men, but you do have the occasional foxy FOX commentator who's a princess in the boardroom and a prostitute in the bedroom) and the rest of Modern Man, which usually includes Women (although technically, it's the other way 'round). How can we all get along? I say we can't. But I digress.

If we ask "What would Spock (or, ) do?", our society could solve most issues (even by consensus). As long as the Gooey Goodness principle is the standard to which we all aspire, we could save the world. While the status quo is static and a graveyard of extinct thinking, aspiration requires the instigation of inspiration. When a new idea comes along, challenging the intellectual inertia of insouciance, we fight it, railing against innovation. Exacerbating the situation is the vested interest, which rarely abdicates its place of vaunted viability, vulnerable thought it may be. But I digress.

If we're honest with ourselves and stop buying the bullshit being espoused by the government, the media, and/or other dead heads who rationalize their hate, greed, and cheating as the 'American Way," we could instead follow the ideas of a host of good guys like Jesus, Elvis, Luke Skywalker, Gilbert Grape, and Santa Claus. But goodness has its yang, and dang it, we let the good die young. It may be right, and they might be crazy, but if the answer is to act with hate, it must be wrong. Believe what you want to, say what you will, but in the end, the truth will set you free. Act with love, believe in compassion; Act with love, share the best part of yourself; Act with love and save the world. Did I digress?
