Republicans are corrupt and vile subhumans
There is no such thing as an intelligent republican. There are only idiots and greedy parasites that feel more deserving then everybody else, often projecting their own corrupt actions upon others. To the perverse republican mind they look upon the poor, needy and sick as feeling entitled while simultaneously ignoring or even praising the wealthy for avoiding to pay taxes. On top of that they have the irrational belief that the wealthier the plutocrats become the better off they will become (once again it is all about themselves, not everyone). They hate the government that by definition represents all citizens and wish to see it chopped and privatized for the gains of a few. It is not in the private companies best interest to care for people or their environment, even if that is the business objective. The private entity main goal is to grow revenue and when this is accompanied by financial and environmental deregulation then it is not far fetched to expect corruption and decadence.
The continual presence of republicans is rendering our Democracy useless. They continue to intimidate the media, scientists and the overall populations into ignoring facts and accepting their ill conceived ideology. If this environment of disinformation and intimidation continues we can expect Progressive ideals to falter due to an increasing support of conservative views (screw the poor, the sick, the environment. Divert resources in order to make the wealthier richer and more powerful) Also, any plutocrat, no matter how stupid or psychopathic will be able to get elected just on the basis of foreign and corporate influence as well as lies and misinformation. Democratic politicians will have to become just as corrupt as republicans in order to get elected. The same thing happened when republicans started backing lobbying and special interests, Democrats had to do the same in order to remain relevant.
When it comes to executive power republicans are outright dangerous. Democrats will be unable to apply the same divisive tactics used by the republicans in the legislature. If Democrats threatened to filibuster they will be met with a backlash of unprecedented proportions, even threats by the executive branch will be enough to divide the Democratic senate thus preventing a filibuster. It's not as if republicans care about the legislative branch at all, considering how much power they feel the executive should have. These are the same people that accuse others of being dictators and undemocratic so their lack of rationality is terrifying, especially after considering what their goals are.
I think that we should not tolerate the intolerant. We should not consider the realities of republicans to be at all significant. They are the subhumans of our era.

2. I believe we have the upper hand in the long run
History, truth, and reason is on our side but I feel that there might be some setbacks along the way. At least we do not suffer from the cognitive dissonance disorder that afflicts republicans so we are able to solve the problems we may encounter.

9. Funny that both Nazis and murdering abortion doctors are two favorite things of conservatives.
I guess it's just a coincidence though...
WTH is this goon smoking?

30. The conservative argument is based on
pseudoscience, conspiracies, superstitions, racism, and logical fallacies. Subhuman is indeed a strong word but its use is necessary to bring awareness to how blatantly dangerous our adversaries are. Furthermore, neuroscience has identified that liberal and conservative minds differ and this can be attributed to an evolutionary process therefore it is not far fetched to say that republicans are subhuman.
More projection.

12. Yep. Every last one of them
Republicanism is cancer of the soul. The world would be a far better place if they were not part of it.
Actually if you got rid of us who would be left to pay the taxes that fund your Cheetos and pot?

23. Republicon leaders are greedy, dangerous, even sociopathic in many cases...
...but a lot of their followers are just easily fooled and very willing to follow the leader rather than think for themselves.
I agree that it's a mistake to tolerate the leaders - it's important to speak clearly about their agenda. Too often, Democrats try to emulate them. And as far as the followers go, imo it's important to point out to them what policies they are actually supporting - a lot of them can't connect the dots.
Edited for clarification.
If I was easily fooled I would be supporting 0bama. It's because I think for myself and don't follow a leader is why I am voting for Romney.
How about coming over here and connecting the dots then?

38. ...
people with conservative tendencies have a larger amygdala and a smaller anterior cingulate than other people. The amygdala — typically thought of as the “primitive brain†— is responsible for reflexive impulses, like fear.

Yet we don't cower in fear, we leave that to you. On every issue you use fear in order to try to convince people of your views. For example the fear that you peddle every time there is a storm, or a drought, or a hot day, you start spewing your climate change BS.

48. I thought I went to DU
But apparently I stumbled upon freerepublic in reverse.
If you're going for 'turnabout is fair play' to illustrate a point, then, well, ok.
Otherwise, just no. Several relevant points in your rant, and I get the anger. But it's just way over the top.
You must not read much at DU if this was a surprise to you.
