There are many in the Republican party disillusioned by the last few administrations. Lumping all Republicans is narrow-minded. Beginning a phrase with: "All Republicans" is no different than starting a phrase with "All Christians" or "All Whatever". It is stereotyping and if it is wrong for some groups it should be wrong for all groups, right?
I am not arguing it is akin to saying "All insert-ethnicity-here" as i understand that religion and political affiliation are choices - unlike ethnicity. But I digress ....
Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt were Republicans. I think many Republicans adhere to principals espoused by Republicans like them and are opposed to the current (as well as many past) administrations. Same with the Democrats - not every Democrat is a "Clinton-democrat". And besides, the US
is a republic after all.
The divisive speech I hear will not get us out of some of the sticky situations we find ourselves. Name calling and the inability to listen and understand others viewpoints will not pull everyone together - it only pushes us further apart.
I will add the disclaimer (though it should be unnecessary) that I am neither Republican nor Democrat.
I will also add that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
OK - one more thing - the fact that we who live in the "Land of the Free" whose founding fathers risked all so that we might enjoy unheard of liberty have to worry about armed thugs with badges bursting into our homes for growing a fucking plant makes my stomach retch.
I think i'm done now - carry on
