The stripping of our rights (#3229)

     The republican party is doing a thorough job of denying us citizens the rights we have come to expect. From making voting harder to now working to limit the free expression of ideas on the Internet. They don't believe that an open society is right for us and have been taking the steps to close down our society and purge our numbers where they think we are a danger to them. It isn't just the attacks on social security and our health care it is a combination of voting rights, Internet rights and our social programs that they are going after. When you consider the motive for this withdrawal of rights for our citizenry it always boils down to them being afraid and their fear dominating their actions. They are cowards and for good reason because they treat people harshly and would rather lie, steal and cheat their way through life then to let life be fair for all.
     So as long as we let them stay in power the sooner they will accomplish their goals of destroying our democracy in it's intent and move us toward the cowering bully type who is threatening the us and the world with harm. We may already be too late to change their end game as they still have at least one more year in power before the next election and given how elections seem to be infallible these days who knows what will happen to the final vote count as it is. That is their agenda, to manipulate whatever is necessary to keep their power in tact. This is not about representing America as a democracy, this is about republicans representing the destruction of a fair and equal democracy.
     I occasionally hear the same old excuses about how each party is guilty of some colluding effect to keep power yet it always is the case that democrats are trying to open up society with their reach for power while republicans are always trying to shut down society with their lust for power. Two different motives, not equivalent, not equal. We democrats want a society for all of us and that is why we fight to lead our nation at every level. That is much different from what republicans are doing in their power lust. The republican party wants power to make life hard and harm where they think they can. If you don't get that then we are doomed to become the next great democracy that eroded from inside.
