We are all now just a little stupider for having even read this fearmongering manifesto.


Instead of trying to fix anything some find their comfort in just making stuff up and trying to project their own weaknesses and evil intentions and alliances onto other Americans. 


The hope is that the American people will just simply forget how bad things got under the previous Republican adminsitration... the TORTURE of bound defenseless detainees... the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression (The Bush Recession)... the Abramoff and Libby criminal activities inside the Congress & White House... and the list from here just goes on & on.


I truly believe that the Far Right has read one particular Peanuts Comic way to many times & simply spends all its time trying to act it out. It goes... If you can't be right... be wrong very very loud!

Here's the difference in people. Those on the Far Right often go the lie, smear and character assassinate route attacking Democratic Americans. I on the other hand don't think that mainstream Republicans are un-American at all. 


I simply don't see... Republican policies best protecting regular working families nor the poor nor the sick nor the elderly. 


I see... Republicans often lead with war to appear boisterous & dominant without much consideration to less deadly & much less costly measures that could achieve us an even better and more long term advantage. 


I see... Republican environmental & energy policies as in the the story The grasshopper and the ant. The "grasshopper Republican approach" fiddles away valuable time and doesn't plan nor prepare for winter (or an environmental/energy catastrophe). The "ant Democratic approach" knows winter is coming and works to prepare BEFORE there is winter (or an environmental/energy catastrophe).


All this said Republicans are certainly very American and their moderates have ideas that could be part of some solutions to problems we all face. Calling them childish names or just making stuff up about them does nothing to help anything.


When one plays the game to turn one American against another through made up fear it is clear they would not be one to follow but one to avoid.
