Hypocrisy

I feel like I need to address something that is really bugging me: Republicans. While hypocrisy is nothing new in politics, I feel as though the situation has gotten disgustingly out of control recently.

The state of the nation is bad right now. Really bad. I don't like the blame game whether it's Democrats blaming Republicans or vice versa. I will say, however, that I think a few Republican dichotomies need to be pointed out:

1. Believing in smaller government while legislating inside people's bedrooms
2. Blaming Bill Clinton for 911 and Obama for the shitty economy while failing to acknowledge that BOTH 911 AND the downfall of the economy occurred on George Bush's watch.
3. Fighting for the 'sanctity' of marriage while having no problem committing adultery and thus failing to hold your their own marriage to the same standard of 'sanctity'.
4. Believing in less spending while taking the US economy from a surplus in 2000 to the biggest deficit in the history of the country.
5. Being attacked by 'Afghanistan' but waging war on Iraq.
6. Believing in 'The American Dream' but conveniently turning a blind eye when manufacturing jobs left the US and headed over to China (and other places).
7. No belief in Universal Healthcare for all..aka: Believing healthcare is a privledge, not a human right.
8. Having no problem calling abortion 'murder' however not believing that women who have abortions should be called 'murderers'. (PS: What is it called when you wage war on abortion clinics and kill innocent people? MURDER)

I could go on and on and on..This country is run by lobbyists, big business and money. Republicans have been elected by (moronic) people to serve the people. How is being a roadblock to EVERY kind of reform considered serving the people?

STOP disagreeing with The President simply because you don't like him and because he is a Democrat. Consider the fact that the small steps Obama is making (ie: healthcare reform, etc) are putting new systems in place that may take a while to work but more importantly are designed to HELP people. Stop LYING that these systems are meant to HURT people.

Stop LYING about communism and socialism. (see McCarthyism)

I'm someone that is profoundly affected by many of the partisan wars that are being waged by Republicans. I am a gay male who is not allowed to marry and does not have health insurance. My father HAD health insurance and it nearly bankrupted my family a few years ago when he died.

I'm someone that just wants to live my life and stop having people tell me how to live it. For a group of people that believe in 'smaller government', Republicans sure have a lot to say about two basic human rights I should be afforded: The right to marry and the right to healthcare.

Democrats don't do everything right but at least they are coming up with ideas of how to make our lives better..Republicans just want the status quo and, more importantly, just want to see Obama fail.

One way we can all try and take our country back is to take OUR money OUT of the big banks and begin to support community banks. You want less government? Then lets begin to bring us back to a society of smaller businesses and smaller companies once again.
