The draconian republican party (#2063)

How is it that one of our current political parties has come to be infected with a dis-ease of lesser human traits? Is it finally time in our society's growth that the ulterior motives of small minds have come together as a force to be exposed? Have their littleness of humanity and largeness of egoism finally come full circle to believe that their way of thinking is a benefit, not a detriment to all in society? It would seem so since the current republican party has shown little to no restraint in it's policies and advocacy for punishment as a reward for not being successful by their standards. Their survival of the fittest thinking is their model for success. If you are not out in the private and public arenas doing whatever is needed to attain power and wealth, then you are not worthy of breathing the same exalted air as they themselves. Your rights are not to be on par with theirs as if by doing whatever it takes to succeed puts them at a higher level of citizenship. No amount of honor as to principled living is acceptable unless it has a bottom line that reflects uninhibited capitalistic opportunism. In other words, if you are not willing to step on the neck of those who are less willing to financially destroy their neighbors, you are not of their ilk. Unfettered and unconstrained capitalism is a higher value to them than democratic principles. I have seen the movie, "Independence Day", where in the plot an alien race wants to devastate and destroy our planet by stripping it of it's resources and then move on to other planets to do the same. We have the same thing here with the republican mindset. Strip our planet of it's resources now without much thought to what comes next. A do what we want for ourselves and the hell with what is left mantra. Greed and a disdain for the ideal of leaving our planet better off  then when we got here is a strength to them. This devouring of our society and our planet by republicans is not to be borne and the quicker we stomp out it's feeble attempt to corrupt the progressive history of our great democracy the quicker we get back to being a society generally regarded as an example for the rest of the world to emulate.
