Types of Republicans

In my view I have seen 2 types of republicans. The religious republican and the wallet republican. These 2 creatures have some things in common..but if they took time to look at each other with an objective eye they might not even like each other.

I will start out with the Wallet republican (WP for now). You can identify these guys buy how they are worried about tax increases for them and how their portfolio went down so much. Also how Social Security is a waste and how people should just save on their own. No this is true, partly. Social Security is not a "retirement plan". It is supplemental money provided to all Americans to assist those who either could not or did not save for later years in life. WP also do not want government in their way unless they need bailouts or deregulation to destroy our environment and to take advantage of the workers under them. They care nothing for labor or poor people. The most important thing to them is $$$ and staying on top. Examples are http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/17/michele-bachmann-were-run_n_167650.html

AIG, Halliburton, Bush Family, Rush Limbaugh, ect. We are not running out of rich people and they will not become poor by a few extra percentage points of tax on their 250k+ a year salary.

The next is the RR or Religious republican. Their 2 biggest beefs with "liberals" are abortion and gay marriage. These are not the most important issues....ever in an election or our nation. IF you find someone who first thing they say is something like Obama Killing babies...back away slowly you found an RR. The past 8 years have basically been an assault on science and intelligence by these people. Stem Cell research is important to finding cures to many diseases including cancer. Evolotion is real and we did not get here buy magic. The RR would have u belive that. Now dont get me wrong, I go to church, i have faith, but i also live in reality and belive that these 2 things can work together (science and religion).

Anyway, i am tired of writing about this right now. There are may sides to all issues. Try to look at everything your represtitives stand for.

Such anger

So I read alot of news and political articles. The best part about reading them are the comments at the bottom of the articles. Most all of them have much hate speech about President Obama and democrats in general. It is amazing that these people can get so upset about a guy whos only done this job for 1 month, but stood by 8 years of Bush. They probally cheer for him still.

I blame the media for this anger these people feel. The 24/7 assault on Obama from Fox, Hannity, Rush, and other of the same ideology are the cause of this deep resentment and anger felt by right wing supporters. I cannot remember people being so combative about their views before. The major change over the past 4-5 years has been these 24 hr "news" shows. What bothers me most about channels like Fox is that they lie about not being slanted or biased, when they clearly are. People get tricked into beliving that everything they say is "fair and blanced" when its not.

Their is also a Fox news effect. Fox news does a great job of trying to paint the other media as biased. This causes not only people watching but also the news channels to try and force more coverage for the right wing. This creates a distorted view of an issue.

Friends...please stop watching Fox's Fake news. Its not good for your health. It makes you and angry bitter conservitive. IF you must watch, then realize that Fox has an agenda. Do research of your own. Dont be a ditto head. Realize that if you shout words like Socalist, earmarks, or generational theft...i turn off my ears to you. The reason is you clearly have turn off your brain and just become a mouth peice to the Radical Right Agenda.
