The differences...
It amazes me that the differences between the Republican party and the Democrat party are so vast. I could understand two parties with many common philosophies and a couple of major differences that set them apart. No so, however!
With few exceptions, the platforms of the two parties are built on separate mountains. On most issues, socially, economically, or in worldview, they are diametrically opposed!
Many of the members of each party are not well-informed on the issues or well-versed as to what their party embraces. I firmly believe that if many Democrats, who are that by name only, would switch if they were to become educated in the current political thoughts of the day.
One thing that the Democrat party does to attack the Republicans is to distort the GOP platform. They get these one-liners going such as "Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor" or "Republicans are for big business".
In actuality, who really IS for the poor? The Democrats who want to keep them under their thumb by subsidizing their state of poverty, KEEPING them poor? Or the Republicans who encourage them to be self-sustaining, providing opportunities for employment and education.
Then there's the issue of life. The Democrat platform embraces legal abortion, conveniently nicknamed "pro-choice". While there are pro-choice Republicans and pro-life Democrats, the majority of each party have polarized this issue. Most Republican leaders recognize the sanctity of life and consider the unborn child as much a citizen as the born. The "choice" was made most times while having sex. The pro-abortion crowd use the rape excuse or the "life of the mother" excuse but these have both been proven to be a small percentage in event. The truth of the matter is that the liberal sector of society wants to eliminate all consequences of bad behavior in order to make it easier to live the liberal lifestyle. Their mindset is to give condoms out in school...eliminate the consequences. Give sterile needles to addicts...eliminate the consequences. Oh, it's done in the name of "safety" but the facts show that in all of these attempts to eliminate the consequences...they get worse...in one form or another. And this is the mindset embraced by most of the liberal Democrat party.
The Republican party isn't perfect. I'm like Bill O'Reilly, an independent. However, I admire the platform of the Republican party on social and economical issues. I also agree with their attitude on the war on terror. If they would only become a party with backbone when it comes to promoting its agenda in the face of the opposition party and media.
