I find it funny that people actually expect me to think that in this election the Republicans are the party of freedom. Am I simply supposed to believe that the party of war is the party of freedom? In response to my support of Democrats this election, I am told, “There are times you need to realize that you need to stand up and for the freedoms that we enjoy.. Think about it..ok.”
I do stand up for my freedoms. That is why I oppose the Republican party. I wish someone would explain to me how the Republicans are the party of my freedom when they oppose abortion rights, oppose church and state separation, oppose protesters, oppose free speech, oppose federalism, oppose small government, oppose civil rights, oppose an independent judiciary, oppose equal rights, oppose due process of law, oppose science, oppose political dissent, etc. Can anyone find a single right that I have as an American Citizen, other than to bear arms, that the Republican party politically supports in this election? I’ve looked, and it simply ain’t there.
In this election, the Republican party is not the party of freedom, it is the party of totalitarianism.
I have no party affiliation. I care about civil liberties, federalism, church and state separation, education, science, and the national debt. The Bush administration has not done anything in the last four years to earn my vote.
(Hopefully, after the election, I can get back to blogging science.)
