As a Republican, I do not label all Democrats as looney, but over the last four years, I have noticed a collective leap by many Dems off the cliff into the eventual abyss of socialism.
I cannot stand by and watch our county devolve into a land where the word liberty carries no weight whatsoever. It is to that land that the Democrats are yanking the American people.

I begin this blog by apologizing to any Democrat who may take offense to anything I write. It is not your fault that you are misinformed. Well, actually it is, but I’ll get to that later.
 

Why have politics and religion been relegated to be discussed only behind closed doors and only among those whom you know share your political beliefs? Do we really need to be patted on the back in that way? Is the foundation upon which our beliefs are built so paper-thin that we must apologize before bringing up an issue of public policy? That catch phrase contains the word “public” in case you hadn’t thought about it in a while.

There are a few things going on here.

1: It takes quite a bit to offend me.

2: If I am offended, I try to keep it to myself.
2a: If what offended me actually is offensive, I will ask questions of the offender as to clarify their position in an attempt to understand their point of view.

In order to answer the question, Are Republicans Thugs?, it'll take coming to grips with the fact that the Republican Party is not the same party one's grandparents voted for.

To grasp what has taken place, one must understand that from the late 1800s thru the mid-1900s, the Democratic Party was controlled by the unions in the United States. At that time, the US manufactured 90% of the goods Americans used and 30% of those used in other countries; the Democrats ruled through labor. Although there was enough lies and stealing going on to tilt Earth on its axis, the jobs and money stayed in the United States. That made for a very strong country and dollar.
