Liberals and Regressives

I’ve come to say, if the Republicans lived up to their principles, I would never have been attracted to “libertarianism” (my version, not RonPaulish libertarian). About Republicans, at one time, I was kind-of like my dad, who I was told said he wouldn’t attend church with us because he knew what impieties the house of hypocrites committed every week. I knew what R’s were supposed to stand for, and they didn’t seem to.

Prejudice against the GOP is often just mouth-frothing insane, no question. Even the less unbalanced will look at the worst R’s and tar the whole party with them, like saying hustler preachers caught with their pants down, or Jonestown, typify Christianity.

And it doesn’t help when so many RINOs and DIABLOs really are shady, crony crooks.

A “liberal,” fooled by the propaganda, might learn to admire core Republicanism by understanding that despite many Republicans’ behavior, its principles best achieve those noble liberal humanitarian intentions. True hardcore Regressives, however, would never appreciate those principles, nor respect solid Republicans like Palin or Cruz or Gowdy, because those full-hearted principles are the utter opposite of the empty ideas of their collectivist tyranny.

The national GOP “leadership” has never learned that uncompromising principle wins elections and strengthens the nation. Or, maybe like their pals “across the aisle,” they do know, they just don’t care.

Party on.
