It’s easy to figure out what Republicans are “for” – just take the opposite of every f*cking thing that they say. If they’re for “freedom in Iraq” they’ll be the first ones telling us that what happened at Abu Ghraib or in Gitmo is “nothing worse than what happens at a frat hazing”. If they’re for “life” then, of course that’s a selective concept that does not extend to death’s row, foreigners or anybody that poses inconvenience to their other hodge-podge of an ideology. If they’re for “education” you know that they’re planning a world in which privileged kids in little lord fauntleroy outfits cavort about a fountain in-between latin lessons. If they’re for “family values” it’s probably just a mental typographical error for “coprophageal fun with teenage midgets” but it sure as hell has nothing to do with what normal Americans think of as “family values”.
Given how strong the Republicans are about demonizing every other segment of society for political gain while touting their own false moral credentials, they are the height of lying sh*tbag hypocrisy. The world may be full of people with very flawed or unkind personal guiding philosophies, but it takes a Republican to spend endless years railing about something “horrible” all the while doing it himself.
From that standpoint, the Republicans get extra culpability points because they simply can’t argue that they don’t know they’re doing something wrong. After all, these are the guys who are simultanteously proclaiming themselves the world’s experts on the wrongness of what they’re doing.
