At the request of a dear Friend, I will now offer an equal-expose of the U.S. Republican Party and its gaggle of troglodytes posing as civil servants. Please note as I do so that this post is NOT in any way, shape or form an endorsement of Hillary Clinton in next year’s Presidential election. Indeed, it is actually my earnest personal opinion that it would actually be far better in the long run for American citizens to have any one of the 17 (18? 19? 20?) currently-running Republican reprobates win the 2016 American Presidency — if for no other reason than each & every one of them (far unlike Hillary) is quite open about their adoration of egregious levels of military spending, their unjust & illegal military conflicts, their kissing up to Monsanto & Big Insurance & Big Ag & Big Paper & Big Oil, and their deep-seated disregard for minorities & women & homosexuals & the poor. With a Republican winner, only the most deluded of Americans (unfortunately about half the U.S. population) would fail to finally understand that the American political system is completely broken, and that they will have to rebuild their communities themselves. If a Democrat wins, on the other hand, the insidious illusion of change &/or progress &/or repair &/or restoration will remain, and humanity will fall yet another four years behind in the ever-grimmer (and ever-tighter) race against time to save our species.

That having been said, it is indeed only fair to give the Republicans their factual due … And hence, the following:

*The Republican Party expresses an open disdain for the poor … While the Democratic Party at least talks like they want to help the downtrodden (they don’t, of course, but at least they SAY they do), it is a long-standing and openly-professed belief of the Republicans that the poor should essentially fend for themselves. Republicans want to repeal the 14th Amendment and deal harshly with all immigrants (legal & illegal alike) … Republicans want to limit (or entirely do away with) the federal food stamp program that helps feed 45.5 poor Americans every month … Republicans want to privatize the social security benefits of the 67+ million Americans that currently receive them, and they want to severely limit unemployment benefits to those in need thereof as well.

*The Republican Party is notoriously biased towards the richest 5% of the American population, at the direct expense and to the direct detriment of the other 95%.

*The Republican Party is filled with climate change deniers … Yes, I realize that most climatologists are in agreement now that it is probably already too late to completely prevent an imminent climate catastrophe, AND YET every bit we do to at least try and stop it will help to minimize the damage that is sure to come. And yet how can Republicans try to stop a catastrophe that they refuse to admit even exists — an imminent ecological shift of dramatic proportions that 97% of climatologists agree is indeed rapidly on its way?

*The Republican Party has made its allegiance to Big-Oil & Big-Coal quite open … They have been favoring personal profit over environmental preservation ever since the Reagan years, and they show no signs of letting up until there is no more environment left to rape & pillage for profit.

*The current Republican Party is about as pro-military & about as pro-war as any political establishment since the “glory days” of Tojo, Hitler & Mussolini. They want a war in the Middle East in the worst way, they are Hell-bent (literally) on getting involved in one as soon as possible. And this makes perfect sense — for politicians in general are interested in personal power & personal wealth about all else, and the best way to fulfill both of those objectives is to use one’s political pull & congressional connections to start an international conflict. It works every time — just ask Bush & Cheney & their Iraq-war Halliburton cronies.

*The Republican Party wants to continue their longstanding abandonment of both America’s crumbling education system (especially inner-city public schools) and its equally crumbling infrastructure.

*The Republican Party wants to repeal Obamacare and fully privatize health care … Say what you will about the watered-down version of Obamacare (that is indeed far too weak to adequately serve many of those it should be serving), the solution to the American health-care crisis is NOT privatization. There are literally dozens of countries around the world with fully functional health-care systems (I am currently living in one of them). As such, American politicians have NO EXCUSE for not emulating any one of those systems (or combining the best facets of several of them) to care for the American people they have promised to serve … To do any less is (and will continue to be) and absolute moral outrage.

*The Republican Party is in favor of perpetuating the privatization of prisons and the intensification of sentencing severity to keep those prison fully … In essence, the “land of the free” is anything but — and the Republican Party is primarily responsible for this embarrassment.

*The Republican Party has totally sold out to Big-Ag — in the form of huge monetary subsidies for the insane cruelties inherent in the Big-Meat & Big-Dairy industry, and in the form of pro-GMO legislation designed both to control the content of what you eat AND keep you from knowing the same.

That having all been said, Hillary is indeed on track to become the Democratic candidate in 2016, and — as I have stated before — Hillary would be a FAR worse President than any of the current Republican candidates (and yes, this includes Donald Trump) … Like most of her Democratic comrades, Hilary talks the sweet talk while walking the slimy walk. Just like the Republicans, she is funded by Big-Ag & Big-Oil & Big-Insurance & Big-Military (and she will owe them all once elected — BIG time) … Just the Republicans, Hillary will provoke international conflicts & engage U.S. troops in illegal wars that will claim thousands & thousands of innocent lives (see Libya in 2011 — disgusting!) … Just like the Republicans, Hillary will cop out to climate change deniers and anti-environmental corporations (Just watch her approve the Keystone pipeline within a few months of becoming President) … Yes, my Friends, just like the Republicans, Hillary will lie & manipulate & cheat & steal — not only to ensure her own continued poshness & power, but also to give her monetary providers the political & economic favors she has already promised them.

So, I have now fully & factually exposed the Republican Party for the corrupt institution it has long-since been & long-since become. AND — at least this time around — it still goes without saying that IF you are truly determined to vote —– then I encourage you to vote Republican.

Peace to ALL … S
