The New York Times's Paul Krugman - the sworn enemy of most of my family (my nearest brother being the exception) - wrote this excellent op-ed about the Republican way of thinking, as evidenced by their words and actions. I don't think anybody could have made a more compelling case than Mr. Krugman does here:
The thing my Republican family needs to remember (and I've already told my father this) is that the Republican party - and this generation of Republican politicians and leaders in particular - aren't really "their" guys. The Republican party has been a "me first" party since before the start of the 20th century, but this generation of Republican weasels - Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rummy, Gonzales, Condi, DeLay, Santorum, Hastert, Vitter, Allen, Boehner, Kristol, Limbaugh, Hannity, Bill-O, and on and on and on (the list literally does not freakin' end) - don't even bother to mask their true agenda, which is to retain their elite status (most of it passed onto them by their ancestors) and stay in power at any cost by any means necessary. And Mr. Krugman's piece calls out these indifferent, elitist assholes perfectly. Thanks.
