Are they really evil, just because they don't share your utopian view of the world?

Hi Frank,

I am a very liberal Democrat and I do not think Republicans are evil. That is a harsh generalization. Generalization is a major problem for the 'talking heads' of both parties. I will agree however for the most part that Dems do not understand Republican points of view, because we are liberal and do not understand conservatism. Both are ways of life not political philosophies. So often it is very difficult to see or understand the other point of view. A great example is the war in Iraq. Do you favor it? I do not and never have (Iraq not Afghanistan). It basically is an immoral war. We initiated an attack, invaded a country we had not right to invade. (Afghanistan was different in that the 9/11 figures were there not in Iraq.) So a major problem we liberals face is that Republicans are generally seen as the "moral majority" yet they seem to love to go to war. Why is that? We all know how terrible war is. War I believe is EVIL. Killing your fellow human beings because they do not like you. The Republicans seem to see enemies everywhere and your solution often is to fight or condemn not to talk, not to try and understand.

Dems on the other hand have the abortion issue. For some reason many of us (not me included) seem to think a woman has the right to terminate an unborn child. Unfortunately I can not ague against it because it is a very personal issue for a woman and as a male I am not sure I can judge them on this issue. My point being that abortion is a very personal/individual issue, and each person makes their own decision. War is not personal or individual. You are telling a whole nation that we must hate and kill our enemy. It just seems worse.

Please do not counter with that we are right and they are wrong. They are people just like we are. We just need to talk. No man no matter how bad is truly EVIL, even Republicans.

There are three forces of evil on the march, they used to be found in both parties, they are all also mainly from a single Right Wing Authoritarian pathology, and are now exclusively Republican.

1; Corporately, the kleptocratic, monopolistic totalitarian economic model usually called Fascist, that is meant to wreck havoc on most peoples lives.

2 Theocracy, the insistence that a single Religious extreamist position needs to be imposed on everyone , and a list of thought crimes that they want to have the death penalty for, thus creating a mass murder campaign on most of America.

3 Creating a massive campaign of bigotry, to create scapegoats to focus massive hate, and thus inspire their mass pathological
following.

They do this because hate and fear give them power and what can be more evil than that.

I decide to have confidence that there is not any actual EVIL (as in having power), yet there's a unfavourable middle-theory seed planted early in some little ones' minds (possibly by way of austere or overly punitive parental figures) to which those little ones react for the time of their lives, inflicting those human beings (right-wing conservatives, as an occasion) to stay backwards (E V I L = a backwards stay), embracing negatives relatively of positives. My theory is that those anal-retentive slender-minded sanctimoniously hypocritical Republicans and Tea Potty evangelicals have been abused as little ones (per risk spanked for crying and/or overwhelmed for messing the britches for the period of potty-education days) and grew up petrified of being something that even resembles organic. So enmeshed in this backwards and faulty unfavourable attitude are those unlucky right-wingers that they undertaking their perceived shortcomings onto harmless others in a PANIC of being uncovered as having any actual emissions of any type. not evil, yet very very fearful of virtually each thing, and it is the trend that the Republicans and teabagging evangelicals inadvertently positioned forth into each thing they say or do. in the event that they weren't so religiously fanatical and unsafe for united statesa., i might experience a deep compassion for them.

A lot of Republicans are evil, but so are a lot of Democrats.

No, Mr. talk radio sheep.

Given some of the hateful crap on here, I will not lie and say they just good people. Most Americans dont buy the right-wing extremism on this site that YOU CANNOT GET AWAY WITH SPEWING IN REAL LIFE.

Most conservatives today would in fact accept segregation if this was fifty years ago,so you tell me!

Gosh! Most of the conservative rants on here claim liberals are godless and evil. Liberals rants about conservatives usually question their intelligence.

It is the extreme on both side that feel that way. Those that claim that do so because they lack debate, tolerance, and knowledge of the issues.

Because we expect people to exude personal responsibility and to carry their own weight in the world.
