The Republican Party is a Weapon of Mass Destruction
By D.R. Tucker
Imagine, for a moment, an organization that sought to deprive millions of people of access to medical treatment. An organization that did all within its considerable power to remove policies that ensured access to clean air and clean water. An organization that took the side of arms manufacturers who wanted no restrictions on the ability of people to purchase their weapons of street warfare. An organization that used media power to convince people that wrong is right, that black is white, that up is down, that ugly is cute. An organization that tacitly supported government officials abusing citizens. An organization that believed billionaires were an oppressed minority, and strove to concentrate wealth in their hands as the masses starved.
What words would you use to describe such an organization?
Those words must be the ones you use to describe the Republican Party.
The sickness of the GOP’s failed (for now?) effort to bury the Affordable Care Act says it all. This party has, in effect, declared war on every American not wealthy enough to afford his or her medical treatment. This party wishes to condemn those Americans to death, all the while professing to be “pro-life.”
This is unlimited moral perfidy. This is the mentality of someone who sees a man begging for bread in the street and laughs, before praising the one-percenter sitting down to a five-course meal in the fanciest restaurant nearby.
