Trouble Brewing in GOP

Sir;... I really believe you have framed the problem wrongly... Stiring a shetpot is not brewing coffee...The republican party has been the mouthpiece of conservatism, and a chainsaw for government too small to serve those most in need of government; Yet all this was but a front for an aggressive internationalism that cost a lot of money, ultimately denied this society taxes, and saw the export of our jobs and capital in an avalanche of capital in search of cheap, or slave labor...
Regardless; you cannot capitalize the world without decapitalizing your own land, and this act of internationalism meant to make empire has only hastened our domestic decline... Our internationalism supported equally by both parties, but made possible primarily by the pro-business prejudice and nationalism of the right has been the cause of our decline as a nation, and the fragility of our economy... So; what is it y'all want???
More of republican medicine will kill us... Treating the poor offcasts of capitalists success is breaking the population, and they are not going to go away, and they cannot possibly assume the debt run up for senseless displays of raw military power... If the poor could support themselves with labor, they would do so... They cannot find even the most menial or meaningless occupations... The government cannot afford to fund them doing nothing, and if it should attempt to fund them doing something worthwhile, some private concern would demand to do so at a profit, and with half the people...
What does the republican party propose to do with all the illegals and legal aliens invited in to this land as a boon to profits??? What do they intend to do about global warming but deny it??? What do they intend to offer those struck by disasters except the evidence of a government too poor, and too powerless to help itself??? What do they intend to do with the armies of unemployed, who have played by the rules, acted as individuals, never engaged in collective bargaining, never demanded the rights of a human being once -who are now shiftless, dispossessed, and desparate??? What do they intend to do with the world republicanism has created for us all, where the enmity of billions is turned against us, and can no longer be contained, when we have not the money to even consider resistence???...
It is good to see the sniveling, sniping, backbiting, scab picking exercise of republican self criticism... The democrats as a party have had no unity as the republicans have... The democrats have been the party of loose ends, and everybody else... There is always more unity in a negative purpose than in a positive purpose... Good has many faces and expressions while evil has but one...What the republicans have managed for years is a policy that appealed to many, to small businessman, to farmers, to whites, to evangelicals, to middle class, and naturally, to the rich... Regardless of policy, only the rich have been served in practice... The tax revolt of the farmers and middle class served the rich; but served them not at all, and was for most only a false economy... You can deny education today, and pay the price tomorrow in more prisons and prisoners, and in higher costs for educating your own children to a respectable standard... You can deny infrastructure today, and when it is falling around your ears and business is rumbling out of town in search of new, you can see the damage done when it is too late to fix it...
Everything government should be and do, republicans have denied...The churches support the greatest immorality that denies to all their rights, and sees the theft of citizens lives and livelyhoods, of their commonwelath; and then feels hurt when government allows ubiquitous immorality that is always the bed mate of poverty... What they have encouraged is a blind and ignorant policy that regarded individual knowledge as a threat, and social knowledge as treason... They have bought the idea of America as a world cop without selling how to pay for it...Now that they are finding no money in it, many are ready for retreat...
You can call for larger government or smaller...The terms are meaningless, and can only be sold to the ignorant on the basis of stupidity... The proper size of government is the proper size, and it will some times grow of necessity, and some times shrink... If you do not like some aspect of government, like pollution regulations, then you can get enough of the dense to follow you into permitting their own poisoning... Why should intelligent people be governed by the ignorant??? If enough people say such regulations are necessary, and big business cannot prove otherwise, they sabotage those regulations by escaping from them abroad, or by starving government of the funds necessary to enforce law...The whole nature of the republican party for many decades has been one of subversion of our aims, and our will, and the perversion of policy based upon catch words like: less government...
As Santayana pointed out: When there was a general consensus as to the goals of the society, government was carried on in anonyminity... We only have to be so on top of the situation today because as a practical point society is not working for anyone... The republicans have thrown a monkey wrench in the works...The democrats who need for government to work must make it work over the resistence of a sizable minority of hard core, last stand republicans...And it is this essentially nagative, and pessimistic view of government, of democracy, and humanity that republicans suffering so to repackage... On Christmas day, when the people have to open a beautifully packaged pile of crap, you cannot expect they will not notice they have been hurt, had and dissed...
The problem for the democrats in making the government work for the people is still harder than the task the republicans have before them... Democratic failure is republican success without so much as a lifting of a finger...The democrats do not have the money to advertize their desires let alone to fund the government... They should point out all the many billionaires too poor to pay taxes who have plenty to fund elections...The people may have noticed the perversion of their democracy has gone right while their poverty has come left... And if people do not have the means through government to achieve justice which is also equality and wealth, then they must get their justice in the streets and through their own actions...The spectacle of a people taking revenge with interest for justice long denied can be seen through the rheumic eyes of history, and it is nightmare...
The republicans used to be on the right side of history, but only for a moment... Now, the only good that can come out of them is the total destruction of the government based upon the long encouraged resentment of farmers, evangelicals and middle class, and this resentment has been the pet of the rich, baited by bad government in republican hands, and fed by the high taxes failing government inevitably demands... Since the democrats have followed essentially the same economic ideology as the republicans to the brink; they have little claim to leadership... All they can do is govern, and if possible, govern alone...With success, they will have enough of money to do what needs doing; but if they cannot find the will and power to tax the rich, they may as well destroy the government as the republican party would, and set the people on the trail of their stolen commonwealth... I would prefer revolution while I am still young enough to enjoy it, but we will only have it when the republicans offer the people no alternative...

I also see no political solution to the GOP's dilemma, but I vote for a death with dignity. I appeal to those Republicans who would sacrifice principles for power to please just join the party that has already done so, and leave the GOP to die in peace.

Re: cathy jones;... Principals are the problem... Governments, societies, economies, religions are all forms of relationship which should be dynamic and fluid, always flexible and able to adapt to changing circumstances and new problems... Ideals, forms, principals are all ideas people form as abstractions of reality, and they are not better than reality, or more true... So what if we base our social forms off of principals or moral forms we hold dear and think true??? We still need to make human reality work with, and for the human beings- who are alive today, and hopefully in this way add to the survival potential of future generations...
I don't care what kind of gold plated principals I take from the past... I don't care how much days passed worshipped their vaunted principals, because if they led to our discord, our discord is my reality, and the problem is always that people who are true to their principals, are untrue to humanity...
We have suffered the tyranny of ideas in the past century...Nazis and Communists alike were willing to kill human being to feed to their principals... Not one of those people was willing to suggest a little slower progress and a little more sensitivity to human needs... They simply presumed their principals were correct as they steam rolled millions under their wheels...
Enough is enough... If enough people have suffered and died to feed the economy... If enough people have went to war, and suffered ignorance, poverty, disease dispare to keep the economy working, or the political system malfunctioning then the principals are the problem and not the people, and the people are the solution, and not the problem...
Would you say the operation was a success, but the patient died??? Would you say your marriage will be a success as soon as your husband drops dead... The form is never more healthy than the relationship... The principals so many seek to realize are killing us the closer they get to perfection... Well there is no perfect marriage, no perfect forms, no perfect principals; but those which come closest are good because they serve the relationship and structure cooperation so that both ends of it get what they want and need out of it... Anything less is not a good form; and you have to recognize that bad forms do not just kill their members, or suck the life out of them, but lead to their extinction, so that not even their children survive....
Our principals are killing us... And when you consider that the entire story of history is the story of changing forms, and that it was as difficult for other people in other ages, and as essential for them to change their forms of relationship; you can get my point... We fear change as we fear death; but change we must, and what we must change is our social forms, and that is only possible with an understanding of our moral forms, our principals...You cannot accept principals as fact simply because they have been handed to you as established truth... There is no such thing even in science that deals with physical forms...You may use your principals in the process of thought so long as you do not take them for granted... You cannot use principals instead of thought... If for example, if we reason that justice is one of the virtues, and that all the virtues are good for humanity, and that their practice is morality, you still have to judge virtues as understood in the light of obvious human good and happiness, and not judge only humanity as good only when following your sense of morality...So much of the pessimism of the right rests upon judgements made through faulty principals and moral forms... For such people, good, good in others and good in self is an illusion...
