Republican Political 10 Commandments

1. Old, treacherous white men shall make all the rules.  Other ethnic groups and women will only be allowed to observe the process.

2. Thou shalt exalt party dogma above all.  Fact-based governance will not be allowed while Russians, crackpots and conspiracy “theories” are to be welcomed and encouraged.

3. Thou shalt keep your base fearful, using deceit if deemed necessary.
 
4. Thou shalt loudly proclaim the Christian deity as paramount to the soul of the country while claiming to know his will.  Your real gods will be the money changers whom you must not offend with assessments or regulations.  Allow them to commoditize everything from services to trees.  Tax structures will favor the money changers.

5. Government is to be considered evil unless it serves your personal whims and those of your benefactors or the military. 

6. Thou shalt rig the judiciary to suit your benefactors/crackpots rather than the masses. 

7. Thou shalt acknowledge only two genders, and only marriages between those two genders shall be recognized. 

8. Thou shalt not recognize reproductive rights for women.

9. Thou shalt pledge fealty to the NRA by supporting unregulated gun possession and use as protected rights. Soothe the victims of gun violence with thoughts and prayers.

10. Thou shalt keep health care in the free market domain even if Illness and penury befall the masses who can no longer afford it.

Reagan's 11th Commandment:

"Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eleventh_Commandment_(Ronald_Reagan)

That's one of the most pervasive and evil habits of almost all Republicans, including everyday voters....

But ultimately rejected it, since they (especially the Mango Menace) violate it all the time. In light of that fact, it made these seem much more relevant.

But good point in bringing it up!

Thou shalt only follow the Old Testament teachings as all that love your neighbor stuff is for wimps
