The Difference Between Democrats and Republicans

Are you as sick of the Democrats claiming the Republicans are looking out for their rich friends… at the cost of the poor folk in this country? Every time one turns around it is on the TV, in the Newspapers, and on the radio. Of course, the Democrat party controls the mainstream media outlets. (That’s why FOX News Channel is such a threat to them, and, why it is burning the ratings up. People have become sick and tired of hearing the old leftist spin, on the news, and are rushing to Fox, in droves, to hear the “real” news and, as they say, get it “fair and balanced”.

Here’s the thing. It really is propaganda. Plain and simple. It is political pabulum fed to the media, by the DNC, and the MSM laps it up and regurgitates it onto their respective networks or print media. They have been the willing accomplices of the Democrat party since, well, since the beginning. Nothing has changed.

My own regional newspaper, owned by the New York Times, is no different. Readers get the same old rotgut, left wing, propaganda. However, they have been doing this so long they have begun to believe their own propaganda. They actually believe they are unbiased! Talk about denial! Just a brief scan of their editorial page and a fair-minded person will understand immediately their approach to reporting. It carries over onto the pages of the news, too. The sources are well known left-leaning news associations.

So, with the Democrats controlling the Mainstream Media, why is there a hue and cry when a conservative voice pops up on TV, the radio, or the print media. Because, we conservatives are a very real threat to the left. Our ideas work. They are not difficult for folks to understand. We don’t have all the nuance intertwined in our remarks. We speak plainly and to the point. Oftimes, we are not politically correct, but then most folks aren’t.

Republicans are a mixed lot, the same as Democrats. But, for the most part we are a people who base our political belief in the rock solid fundamentals which built this country. We believe the founders were honorable men. Flawed, but honorable. We believe they meant what they said when they wrote the constitution and they said what they meant. We see no reason to change it one-way or the other. We are morally grounded in the scriptures and we believe that is the root of all things good. But, even more important than all these, we believe there are absolutes, moral and otherwise. There are boundaries. We, for the most part do not believe in relativity. It is either right, or it is wrong.

You can see why we lock horns with the Democratic Party, especially the new Democratic/Socialist party, for that is what it has become… a socialist/secular/ humanist party. The sad thing is… they have yet to realize the American people will have none of it. They are now bent on self destruction.

In by-gone days, the Democrat party was a party in which Zell Miller could feel at home. It was a political party the Southern folk could align with, especially since the Lincoln administration was a Republican administration. But, no more. The pendulum has swung and now the Republican Party is the party the Democrat Party used to be. Thus the switching of parties by Southerners and the reason the South is now solid Republican. Presidential elections cannot be won without the South. It will be a cold day, in warmer climes, when the South switches back to the Democrat party. It may well be time for a new party a moderate party, somewhere between the Republicans and Democrats. It would have a terrible time establishing itself as a threat, however, because most folks have chosen sides, already.

Just some thoughts today on why politics are, as they are, in the USA. Subject to change, of course!
