The fact remains that the askew and misguided agenda of the Teahadist-Republicans is contrary to the fiber of democracy and what America stands for.


One may argue that the Republicans are hell bent on destroying the American dream; they are obstinate in their pursuit of decimating the middle class and worse they are also intent on turning our country into a theocracy.

These are the reasons for rejecting Republican-Teahadist ideology:

1- The erroneous assumption that if you cut taxes for the rich it will percolate into the general economy…this is otherwise known as Reagan’s TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS that just plain does not work, never did, never will.

2- The insistence of Republican-Teahadists to keep benefitting the wealthiest and the corporations giving them undeserved and lewd tax breaks and subsidies while the rest of the population has to pay for it.

3- The misguided idea that regulations are bad for business and that there should not be any because it interferes with the free enterprise system.

4- The total disconnect and disdain Republicans have for the middle class and the poor evident in their efforts to destroy all social programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and even PUBLIC EDUCATION.

5- The Republican-Teahadist refusal to even acknowledge that they created one gargantuan financial crisis that sent our country sinking into the depths of a very painful recession.

6- This mess they created is totally ignored and Republican-Teahadists have been not just opposing any legislation that would help fix the mess they left us with but also they are acting like saboteurs to torpedo the Obama presidency.

7- The concept that GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG and GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM…again a legacy of their dear leader Ronald Reagan. Government is as big as it needs to be for the size of our country and our position in the world as the number one power. Government is only a problem when it is in the hands of Republicans…as we have seen time and time again how our country prospers when the Democrats are in power and it languishes or the economy contracts whenever they are in power.

8- The daring and shameless position to make America default on its debt in order to gain political capital and make President Obama look bad…which they will not be able to do because by now the great majority of Americans know that our President has bent over backwards to cooperate and avoid disaster.

9- The insistence of Republican-Teahadists that our HEALTH CARE SYSTEM works just fine with the greedy insurance companies making an obscene profit out of people’s misery while providing absolutely nothing, producing nothing, and just taking in an immoral profit..These are basically parasites.

Essentially, all this spells TREASON to me…it is unpatriotic, un-American and totally immoral.

In a recent article in the New York Times PAUL KRUGMAN puts it very eloquently:
Corporate Cash Con (nytimes.com) — “Watching the evolution of economic discussion in Washington over the past couple of years has been a disheartening experience. Month by month, the discourse has gotten more primitive; with stunning speed, the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis have been forgotten, and the very ideas that got us into the crisis — regulation is always bad, what's good for the bankers is good for America, tax cuts are the universal elixir — have regained their hold. And now trickle-down economics — specifically, the idea that anything that increases corporate profits is good for the economy — is making a comeback. On the face of it, this seems bizarre. Over the last two years profits have soared while unemployment has remained disastrously high. Why should anyone believe that handing even more money to corporations, no strings attached, would lead to faster job creation? Nonetheless, trickle-down is clearly on the ascendant — and even some Democrats are buying into it.”http://www.ourfuture.org/sites/all/modules/daily_email/images/1px_trans.gif
