"The Moral Collapse of the Republican Party"

[tytlyf]

This is nearly irrelevant since the Keystone pipeline, expanded fracking, and more drilling in the Gulf are all Obama's babies. Logically, the party is behind them -- the environmental argument has absolutely zero credibility. A corrupt government cannot regulate an industry because it simply can be bought off, which is all that happens with the current regime, and any fictional good this does is just that. You have to suffer from cognitive dissonance to think the Democrats give a single **** about the environment.

Banana republics mean that poor and rich people play by different rules, but it also means that whoever pays the most to the incumbents is the one that wins regardless of the impact. Anyway, I'm a Libertarian so I neither suffer from the need to have the government enforce morality (Republicans) or the government to ruin our economy (Democrats). I am aware that both takes are completely miserable and destructive to personal and economic freedoms.

BS. Answer me this, is man responsible for climate changing faster than normal?

Additionally, Banana Republic doesn't mean what you think it means. Must be the new buzz word in conservative media land. A banana republic sounds more like the republican establishment to me.

Banana republic or banana state is a political science term for politically unstable countries in Latin America whose economies are largely dependent on exporting a limited-resource product, e.g. bananas. It typically has stratified social classes, including a large, impoverished working class and a ruling plutocracy of business, political, and military elites.[1] This politico-economic oligarchy controls the primary-sector productions to exploit the country's economy.[2] In common parlance, a "banana republic" represents a legal system where the interpretation of the laws is more "flexible". So for example, relatives and friends of el Presidente live by a separate standard than the common people

I am not responsible for any intellectual deficiencies that manifest themselves on this forum, lack of perspective, or the fact that Democrats are currently running the system like a dictatorship, and worse the strangeness of blaming the party not controlling the white house or DoJ for the same.

The constitution is a secular document.

Partly agree. Technically it creates a religion called The United States of America. I'm not trying to make a point, just babbling.

The PP movement is religious based.

I was not aware that PP was religious based. Thanks for the heads up.

No one wants christian law in America.

I agree with you for the most part. There are a few.

The anti-abortion movement is religious based.

You didn't answer my question. Does man affect the rate at which the climate changes?

In response to one post:

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Friday rejected the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, ending the political fight over the Canada-to-Texas project that has gone on for much of his presidency... -- http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/06/politics/keystone-xl-pipeline-decision-rejection-kerry/

Given the things which went on in Americastan during this period, their moral superiority would be a hard case to make.

The Republican Party during that time was the major party fighting for rights for black people. It was Abe Lincoln's party, for example.

Good, America wasn't going to use that oil anyways. Greedy oil corporations at it again. Obama has made America stronger by not importing as much oil from dangerous nations.

Yep, northern progressive republicans were fighting for freeing the slaves, the southern conservative demoKKKrats were fighting for the states right to own them.

RW media still lies to it's audience about this to this day.

You'd be surprised, but then maybe you wouldn't be, how many people do not realize that the parties gradually switched positions on this and many other issues, although the "Dixiecrats" didn't go largely Pub until the late 1960's+.

I'm very aware of the spin. Conservatives continue to make the false claim that southern demoKKKrats were liberals. RW media does enjoy insinuating this, but you'll never hear them mention progressive/conservative in that context. If they did, the deception wouldn't work.

I am Canadian, so cut me some slack, but I've never heard of the Confederates labeled as liberals. They were southern Democrats who were conservative white supremacists. There was nothing liberal about them other than their desire to have a liberal amount of blacks slaves to do their bidding. *shrugs*

Please tell me that pundits a tad more reliable than say, a Beck or an O'Reilly are saying stuff like this. Honest, I've never heard the claim.

The only people saying it are in RW media. And if you browse comment sections of certain RW websites you'll notice conservatives repeating the same falsehood. They also like to bring up Senator Byrd, but fail to realize he was a demoKKKrat.

So, no one of any real consequence is claiming it then? An urban myth perpetrated by people with double-digit IQ's?

Essentially that's it. The usual suspects in the conservative echo chamber of disinformation. I would assume the people who believe this falsehood also failed American history in school.

I do feel for you folks down there though. I couldn't bring myself to vote for Hillary. That would be unconscionable. Trump.... ewwwww. I guess that leaves the Greens or Johnson.

What HORRIBLE choices.

It's not really about the candidates, although Clinton is much more qualified for the job. It's about who controls the parties and their policies. Republicans are corporate policies and democrats put forth middle class policies.

Being that I'm in the middle class, I have no business voting republican.
