The GOP is one of the most dire threats this country has ever faced

And yes, that includes threats such as the Confederacy, Nazi Germany, USSR, and terrorism.

The GOP, if left to their own devices, would absolutely devastate this country. There would be no middle class. Just the wealthy, and the near-slaves to support them. Honestly, I'm sure they would reinstate slavery given the chance.

Their attitude toward the poor and needy in this country is appalling. Given their way, there would be absolutely no assistance at all. Starvation would become common in many areas. Diseases once thought to be contained to Third World countries would rear up. Hospitals would demand payment up front (some already do), those who can't pay are SOL.

We already know how they feel about climate change. They are prepared to kill the planet just to fill their coffers. They know climate change is occurring, but hope they can confuse the population into not taking action.

The GOP would do what 200+ years of foreign and domestic enemies could never do.

3. The "new" GOP is the rise of Sociopaths united. It is the biggest threat this

country has ever seen. The problem is too many Americans are too F'en ignorant to get what is happening, lambs to the slaughter.

15. [SOCIOPATHS] You are right... I've felt the same way, too, for a long time...

I'd come to believe that there are in fact a high proportion of sociopaths in the society. I'd read somewhere that it is something like 1 in 100 or something.

My fear has been that the GOP is simply a place where they gather together and work together to meet their innately selfish needs and drives.

Similarly, I'd known people who would choose to be an "Independent"... as opposed to a Democrat or GOP. They were basically as selfish as any GOPer, but smart enough to understand that if they actively labelled themselves as GOP they would be totally ostricized/cut-off by most of the people around them.

But when they spoke about the poor or the unemployed... that gave them away. Things were often the fault of the poor... The unemployed deserved to be so because odds are they were lazy and not putting enough into their work...

That it was not fair that they should pay taxes to support a system that could help others.

I'd heard lots of talk like this for years.
They are unrepentant.
Without remorse.
Without shame.

We need to somehow codify in law a collection of laws that make it so that if sociopaths try to violate the people within a society or the broad society as a whole, that their avaricious behavior would trigger immediate penalties --- loss of property up to loss of freedom.

For example: I live overseas. Over here, I just discovered from a friend that if a company makes a person work over some maximum number of hours in a single month (20 hours?.... can't remember), the company is required to report it to the government. Further, if this continues for 3 months, the company is required to send the employee for a health check.

The brilliance of this: without ever directly trying overtly state over and over again that this is meant to curb avaricious or sadistic drives in business leaders, the collection of rules provides enough annoyance and costs to curb (or at least redirect) some of the abuses.

Of course, sociopaths will seek to try to get around even this, but it is an example of the minimum of the kinds of hurdles that should be in place.

PS. While this law is in place, it is no paradise over here, exactly. Some of the things you read about as new phenomena in the US (Krugman: "Onshore Outsourcing, Wages, and Benefits", make sure to read the PDF that Krugman links to as well) has been going on strong over here for decades... an attempt to pay less on salaries as well as pay less on, or even avoid, paying into pensions, healthcare, and the social safety net.

Personally, along with this kind of law should be included a kind of repeat-offenders provision: individual members (direct bosses up the chain) of the organizations that repeatedly violate these laws should then be psychologically evaluated. If they are found to be sociopathic, then they would be prohibited from being placed in any leadership roles that could effect the society (eg. no running companies... no government work... no managing offices... etc...) and placed in psychological care for evaluation to determine when and if they can be released back into the general society.

Anything less than this would be any or all of the following:

* Serving as an apologist for sociopaths and avaricousness.
* An excuse for ones own weakness to actually do anything.
* Active abandonment of one's responsibility to society.

We don't, in the name of free speech, allow people to yell "Fire!" in a theatre.
We understand that the mayhem caused by such an act has a perilous cost to the society and for that reason it is a crime.

We have no excuse to allow avaricious sociopathic acts to go unchallenged on the basis of "freedom".

They are becoming completely unhinged over there and it's only July.

They hear the train whistle, they see the engine's light in their faces, becoming brighter and brighter, and yet they are too stupid to jump out of the way.

They can't seem to realize that it was Woodrow Wilson's income tax (only on the rich) that is devastating the middle class, the constant push by demonrats thru the tax code to "punish" the rich, and it's making it harder for the middle class to advance.

Their "war on the rich" is killing the poor, and they are too f'n stupid to see it, but because they have/had a college prof that read Marx, they are geniuses. 

November can't come quick enough, and it will be GLORIOUS!

Just for the sake of this post let's pretend that the next ice age global warming global climate change is real and that humans are the cause of it.

Lions eat other critters. That is their nature. They are part of the circle of life. Their eating of other critters control the population of other critters. The possibility exists that the number of lions in an area could increase to such a number that their consumption of the area's critters will severely lower the area's critter population. If this were to occur, some lions would die due to starvation which would reduce their number, and the number of critters would increase. If the lions became too aggressive in their hunting and wiped out the entire population of critters, all of the lions could die out. That is the way nature works. That is nature, and the earth, protecting itself and its creatures.

Humans are a part of nature. Humans are part of the circle of life. Humans strive to progress, improve, and move ahead.

Let me stop here and say that I am NOT including DUmmies in the above because they are either a subspecies of humans or a completely different species all together. Regardless, they are not like normal humans.

If what humans do hurts the environment it's just all part of nature. If the earth strikes back at humans by way of the next ice age global warming global climate change, it is just the earth's way of wiping out the threat that humans are causing. The humans would be doing their job and staying true to their nature. The earth would be doing its job and staying true to its nature. It's all a part of nature.

If you were a true nature lover and lover of the earth you would sit back and let nature take its course, but doing that pisses you off for some reason.

Why do you hate nature? Why are you trying to stop the earth from defending itself from us evil humans? Why do you hate the earth? Why do you want the earth to die?

Id suggest that the short answer is the primitives believe the 'wrong' pride of lions stand to inherit the earth once nature takes its course, so they need to level the playing field to increase the chances that some of their lions pull through.

Nature allowed Homo Sapiens to dominate the playing field alone. Other species such as  Homo Neanderthalensis failed and are now extinct because nature did as it always does. The primitives are the new neanderthals. Only difference is these primitives are smart enough to know it.

I'm not too sure about that.

They keep embracing the political and economic policies of failed empires and societies long since extinct.

DUmmies and liberals need to be extinct along with them.  The sooner, the better.

[JohnnyReb]

DUmmies want to make sure that we all starve together at the same rate. The primary law of evolution be damned, survival of the fittest and all that.

Their social policies also would lead them to extinction. They support/applaud homosexuality which produces no offspring, and they support/applaud the murder of the offspring of the non-homosexuals.

[BlueStateSaint]

What the OP primitive fails to understand is this:

Republicans are much more likely, than Democrats, to be gun owners.

Hence, the premise of said primitive is invalid.

[I_B_Perky]

Wow! I've been called many things in my life but never a sociopath. I always thought I was just another run-of-the-mill asshole.   

[jukin]

When I see shit like this my faith that our divide can be peacefully settled sinks. We think they are wrong and their results prove them to be wrong. They think we are pure evil because their plans fail and ours do not. Projection and straight out lunacy on the left. Political violence always comes from the left. ALWAYS.

[delilahmused]

I don't think there's a day in their lives when they haven't been hysterical. When they were kids they probably whined about Lego's because they have sharp edges. Or Roadrunner cartoons because they're violent. Or cracks in the sidewalk because people might fall and skin their knees.

You would think that a group of the so called smartest people in the known universe that goes around promoting the theory of evolution would understand this more then anyone. In reality they couldn't tie their shows without Government help and then they would want more help. Hardly the kind of ideals supposedly supporting the cause of survival of the fittest as promoted by Darwin.

Liberal threads like this serve a purpose. To justify violence. Just killing someone because you disagree is wrong. Hitler used years of propaganda to turn Jews in to monsters-when the death camps were built, no one opposed hum. If you plan on doing something really horrible to a group of people, you have to dehumanize them first. In history we see the Dread-Scott decision, where blacks were only 3/5th a man--slavery was upheld. It took a civil war to overcome that decision. Today unborn babies are not human, they are a viable tissue mass--soothing words to justify killing an innocent by.

Describing a political party as pure evil is setting the stage for future violence and murder. None of this paranoid fantasy is true. But that's not the purpose. The readers are meant to filled with emotional rage. The readers are meant to do the dirty work. These are the disposable minions of the revolution. Hitler put the hated Brown Shirts to death when he took power. When the revolution succeeds, so to will the hated and feared agents of the left disappear.  DUers have no idea that their own days are numbered should they succeed.

Heres a clue for DU lurkers. The Disability Bandwagon only exists in a capitalist society. You will surely die in your communist paradise.

The problem with your theory is that DUmmies don't do work particularly "dirty work".  Oh, and they're cowards.

[Mr Mannn]

DUmmies are a class all by themselves. The threatening ones are those who WILL leave the basements.

There is a core group that coalesced in the Occupy movement. they will build on their failure, and resort to terrorism. Violence by activists. They will be the brownshirts of the new revolution.
