I'm Not A Democrat, I'm an Anti Republican

The return of Benghazi is the latest evidence that the GOP is putting its
unhinged obsessions before the good of the country


Consider:

~A gun-toting maniac slaughters 20 children and 6 adults inside an elementary school.
The GOP response? Loosen gun restrictions.

~Banks and the finance industry nearly topple the global economy. The GOP response?
Oppose increased regulation of banks and the finance industry.

~Well over 90 percent of climate scientists present research in favor of anthropogenic
climate change. The GOP response? Suggest that the scientists have joined forces with
liberals in a big-government conspiracy.

~Economic inequality is increasing dramatically, especially at the very top of the income
pyramid. The GOP response? Propose cutting taxes on the wealthy.

~The food stamp program has grown since the economic meltdown of 2008, which led to
millions of Americans losing their jobs. The GOP response? Cut the food stamp program.

~Money is playing an ever-greater role in American politics. The GOP response? Cheer
on the effort of the Supreme Court's Republican majority to increase the role of money
in politics still further.

~Wages have been stagnant or falling for many years, and raising the federal minimum
wage is a broadly popular way of addressing the problem. The GOP response? Oppose
raising the minimum wage.

If any of this makes sense to you, maybe the GOP is where you belong. As
for me, I'll stay where I am: Voting against the Republican Party every chance I
get — and hoping it soon receives the incontestable rebuke at the ballot box it so
richly deserves.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

These things you listed above are good things.

I am anti Republican as well as anti Democrat.

The long list of unfortunate bad decisions by Democrats regularly penalizes the law abiding
citizen and benefits those with no respect for others or the law.

Gun control/outlawing legal weapons.

The democrats are taking gun rights away while illegally arming drug cartels and running weapons to Libyan and Syrian rebels.

The Democrats speak out against domestic spying, but have proven when Republicans are no longer
in charge they can abuse the system and pass laws to spy on all of us beyond what the Republicans
were ever accused of doing.

IRS/NSA

Obama has taken some of Bush's worst ideas and escalated them.

Obama has created more terrorists than Bush did.
