They seem poised to crush America and their actions have a far reaching effect. The religious right wingers view destruction as a way to bring about the end of times and the neo-cons see America as just another commodity to be sold off. Just a bunch of serfs to be liquidated to private and foreign interest. They are unified on one regard and that is in their complete disregard for human life. They use 'pro-life' rhetoric in an attempt to counter the fact that they oppose health care, education, nutrition, a clean environment, equality to the very people they would like to see upon this earth. The very people they wouldn't think twice about when sending to die in a war or take care of when they return.
It can be said that republicans have little to no concern for the wellbeing of others. It can be argued, as their actions speak louder than words, that they seek to prolong the suffering of others. These psychopathic tendencies propagates throughout society and the world as people are viewed are servants to the upper class. Nothing more than disposable serfs in a theocratic feudal society with no access to healthcare or education, which republicans seek to reserve only for the affluent. The serfs wont challenge this existence of decadence because it is the only existence they know, also partly because history has been altered by revisionist conservatives. Bigotry and a selfish nature has led the population to turn against one another while the plutocracy proliferates power. This is happening right now. The amassing of wealth, disregard for scientific facts, a sense of superiority based on divine and hierarchal pretense all indicate that the feudal system sought by the republicans is starting to take shape. They obviously never regard it as such, coining the term free-market capitalism but completely disregarding that capitalism would not have succeeded had it not been for socialism which provides a safety net and progressive ideals that have brought new industries and businesses that benefit us all 'equally'.
It is imperative that Obama wins this election because the alternative brings the republican plan to fruition. The beginning of privatization of government. An upswing of divisive rhetoric to drive the population apart. Scientific and proven facts viewed as biased in order to validate conservative ideas. Imagine the destruction that will be brought upon by a republican in the executive office. A republican whose psychopathic tendencies have been made even more obvious through his outrageous lies and his degradation of Americans. A man that most likely considers himself a messiah seeing how close he is to the mormon cult, hence a believer in the white horse prophecy. This is a persons whose policies are so outrageously inept that even he denies them.
I can't stress this enough, this election is the most important of our time. If the republicans win we will all lose.

(19,993 posts)The freedom to prey on whomever, whatever, wherever, whenever they want--for maximum personal profit. Rape, pillage, plunder; Attila the Hun gone wild! Civilization be damned!
Turning record profits will get harder as the seas are fished out, the oil is drilled out, the coal is mined out, the environment is depleted.
As it now stands, government still provides some protections for the people and environment rapacious capitalists would prey upon. In order to get around those protections, some people think they probably figured out some time ago that they must gain control of government and then dismantle it. Voila! Freedom!
Romney is a soulless predator like them. They know without a doubt that he would "set them free." They don't care what he has to say or do to get control.
