You did actually leave out one thing:
Republicans BELIEVE in all of the above, but PRACTICE none of it!

This is quite an over-generalization, but generally speaking, you are right.
One thing I'd like to correct is that Democrats have the best of intentions.
It's not like they think some people are inferior. They just think some people need extra help. They are naive to think problems can be fixed by expensive programs. What we end up is with people afraid to get a job because of all the government assistance they will lose if they do so. (I have personally witnessed this!) So the government program ends up doing more harm than good.

Actions speak louder than words....
"Republicans BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored."
See Patriot Act, wiretaps, going to Ashcroft to eliminate our Constitutional guarantees, rendition, Abu Graib...
"Republicans BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability."
LOL - - Just ask those people who were turned away at voting booths in Florida in 2000.
"Republicans BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity."
GWB was so great at free enterprise and economic growth. Not a single successful company. Nothing like primogeniture for you all.
"Republicans BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn."
In practice conservatives had the biggest and most bloated spending bills in the history of our country and STILL ran record deficits. Borrow and SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!!
"Republicans BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least."
Nonsense. You believe government should enforce arbitrary morality in people's bedrooms and determine their religion.
"Republicans BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times."
Are you "flip-flopping"? Too vague of a "feel good" cheerleader statement to respond.
"Republicans BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world."
Do you mean nation building? Or are you referring to the Republican Congress cutting GI pay and benefits in support of a missile defense shield?

Conservative economics and individuals being aloud to invest how they decide for is a real a techniques stretch from comparable-intercourse marriage. you're extremely attaining, too. A Conservative, via definition, is somebody that believes in classic view and values. Please do no longer argue that they do no longer. each thing the definitive Conservatives are doing is geared in the direction of that very element. As a Christian, you're able to understand that those issues are incorrect. bear in mind what the Pope reported approximately marriage? those human beings had us reeling so a techniques he had to describe it for them ~ that's a Christian company between a guy and a woman. that is not the prevalent public making the communicate, however the homosexuals that are attempting to smear the belief of marriage that way. no person is asserting they have the spectacular to get entangled in human beings's lives. the priority is those human beings attempt putting their unusual ideologies into our lives. have you ever had to be around somebody attempting to over run all of us with perverse innovations like that? that is extremely too lots to stand. they could understand that in the event that they're going to do some thing as unusual as being gay that they could face the reality of it. that is unusual, and it is going to have draw backs. we don't all could make exceptions for them.

Only a couple things I can add - republicans generally feel that concerns should be met head on and dealt with - democrats believe that any concern can be solved by throwing more money at it.
Republicans are not afraid to meet force with force - while democrats want to negotiate, try diplomacy, appease and simply talk, talk and more talk. When dealing with radicals, their policies have never worked, but that's no matter to them.

Oh, one addition. Republicans believe that senior military know what they are doing by experience and should be allowed to conduct military actions without micromanaging. Democrats (Harry Reid) think that they know more about military operations than a general with 30 years experience so they screw the entire operation up.
Robert K., I see that like most liberals, you can't even stay out of someone else's business even when you are directly asked to. Typical meddling liberal

This was addressed to "my fellow conservatives" so I apologize for crashing the party. But I used up enough time reading this post that I think I've earned the right to say that this is one of the stupidest things I've seen in a long time.
And to my fellow liberals; why are we wasting our time in here?

You did not. Very well said, very much the truth. The truth hurts them, so I'm sure your question will be removed shortly. They have to cry and whine everytime someone exercises their right to freedom of speech!

No, that sounds like all the propaganda I have been hearing for years from republicans.
Republicans BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored...unless you are not a republican.
What drool.
