A Tentative Theory about the Difference between Odd Dem and Repuke Beliefs

[Mike 03]

I could be way off base, and I confess that up front.

It is true that people of both persuasions hold odd, unscientific views.

I definitely hold many, and am not shy about saying that I do. But I would never even consider trying to persuade someone else to believe what I believe, or set into motion legislation that could affect others who believe differently.

It would never even occur to me to influence others...

This is not true of Republicans. They wish to harmonize private, unscientific, religion-based concepts with legislation because they have this idea that what is good for them is good for all of us.

I think that is the main difference.

Speaking for myself: I don't think it's odd to have unscientific beliefs, but I do think it is odd to interpose one's unscientific beliefs upon those who do not believe what you believe.

If that makes sense.

1. If you would research it you would find that conservatives have always been the same exact way

as they are today since FDR was elected and even before FDR. Remember conservatives admired Hitler right up to the day Japan attacked America. Then there was our favorite republicon McCarthy who in the 1950's lead the charge to put "god" on everything from money to the court house. Don't forget his logic on the subject, commies didn't believe in "god" so by putting god on everything it would stop commies from using it. The last 30 years have been just a repeat of McCarthy era tactics, only commies were replaced with godless liberals. It's why we are seeing them implode lately, the country shifted away from conservative ideology and they are left behind once again. One trick pony show.
