TODAY'S REPUBLICAN PARTY

 

The Religious Right MAGA-Morons that control today’s Republican Party are not “traditional” Republicans.  Today’s Republican Party has totally abandoned all traditional Republican and true Conservative beliefs and policies.
 
The Republican Party no longer believes in –
 
· individual freedom and human dignity
· limited government involvement in the life of the citizen
· the rule of law
· the separation of powers
· fiscal responsibility
· open markets
 
The platform of today’s Republican Party is not based on legitimate political philosophy and values but on ignorance, racism, bigotry, and fascism.  It does not want a government based on freedom, equality, and the Constitution - it wants one based on racist and repressive distortions of protestant Christian doctrine.
 
Today’s Republican Party wants the government to legislate what you can read, what you can think, who you can love, how you can act, and what public schools can and cannot teach.  It supports banning books, censoring history, and suppressing the teaching of anything that does not strictly conform to extreme fundamentalist white Christian nationalist propaganda.
 
The 1954 Republican Party platform included the following policies -
 
· Provide federal assistance to low-income communities
· Protect Social Security
· Provide asylum for refugees
· Extend minimum wage
· Improve unemployment benefit system so it covers more people
· Strengthen labor laws so workers can more easily join a union
· Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of sex
 
And the 1952 Republican Party platform stated -
 
“We hold that government, and those entrusted with government, should set a high example of honesty, of justice, and unselfish devotion to the public good; that they should labor to maintain tranquility at home and peace and friendship with all the nations of the earth.”
 
Today’s Republican Party puts the personal wants and desires of a totally self-absorbed corrupt, ignorant, and incompetent demagogue, convicted felon and indicted traitor Donald “the man who would be king” Trump, above our country, the Constitution, and federal and state law.
 
It is clear the greatest threat to American freedoms and democracy and true American values is today’s Republican Party.  If America is to survive it is vital that all intelligent and patriotic Americans vote against every Republican candidate in every election at every level.
