Although the U.S. is a democratic nation, the Cons love to say it's really a republic - and it isn't an accident although the denial of democracy puts them in the ranks of any anti-American group like the American Nazi Party or the Johnny Rebs in our Southern States.
But let's take a look at the memes toons in the last 24 hours to see whether they really hate democracy, starting with this...
If democracy is all about freedom of speech, the Repugs are against it...
...along with a few things in the Constitution...
Slavery is quite anti-democratic too...
...and turning on your own country isn't too cool either...
...but the Cons do claim that they're all about safeguarding our civil liberties...
...safeguarding family values...
...and making sure that the church and state are one and the same...
...AND making sure everyone understands why democracy is all about equality in matters of race...
...and the sexes...
...and NOTHING will stop them on their quest to make sure that alternative forms of energy don't hurt the bottom lines of their corporate pals...
...no matter what havoc they cause...
They also have their own interpretation of the Second Amendment, ignoring all that "militia" nonsense.
But all kidding aside, the Cons DO have problems with democracy - as we see here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here...
...and here.
Because in the end, it all comes down to this...
********************
The so-called Conservative "movement" is all about the rule of the 99 percent by the rich 1 percent.
It's about equal rights for the rich and the unequal rights of the rest of us.
And it's about stealing from the middle class and the poor to give to the rich.
The Cons will cheat, lie, steal, and kill to get their own way, just like any other criminal organization does.
We pass laws against criminal cartels, so why can't we pass a law...
...criminalizing Conservatism?
Joyce, Jnr.
