Most Republicans today would applaud if our entire country went under.
I truly believe that.
They have some sort of perverse thought that government does not include we, the people. Or that we, the people, might also include them? Government is the enemy. They have memorized Ronald Reagan's words about "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you". Government, to them, is just a bunch of liberals sucking up all their tax dollars.
I believe they do not see government as legitimate so therefore if they can find a way to give money to their friends in the form of taxcuts or military contracts or farm subsidies or even, if they outright steal the money from the government, then it is all perfectly OK with them. They live the lie.
They honestly do not understand why we would have any type of social contract with our friends or communities. Many are under the illusion that they could survive without anyone else. They want to make sure they do not miss out on a penny of their deserved and hard-earned Social Security, Medicare, or veteran's pension.
Also, they believe that Democrats buy poor people's votes by giving them welfare and food stamps. They seem to be incapable of understanding that the poorest states in this country are in the South and most of them are all very Republican. Obviously, the Democratic strategy is failing.
I see little true patriotism in them. They are mostly fake patriots. But I don't think they have always been like this. This is the end result of years and years of propaganda and indoctrination. They are not trustworthy. They are rather like skunks at a picnic... But you knew that already.

Seriously if I was applauding our entire country going under, I would be so pro 0bama I could post at DU freely. The man has done nothing but chip away at this country, and those applauding us going under are the DUmmies.

11. Believing America is in decline does not mean they have no faith in government, in my opinion...
They simply think the present government is failing us or has already failed and that we need a different government. I hope they still believe in the principle of government? I don't think the Republicans believe in any government? They say "smaller government" but they say they want "to drown it in a bathtub"... But, good point.
That's what you get for trying to think. This notion that we want no government is absurd, if you want to know what kind of government we want, read the Constitution and eliminate all the imaginary things that leftists claim are in it, and you will see what kind of government we want.

...so they can try to form the fascist state they hold so dear. FDR knew exactly what they were up to back in 1940.
How exactly do we pull off a fascist state if we don't want any government? You really need to make up your minds, are we fascists or are we anarchists? We can't be both.

23. Yes, they would. See, Rush Limbaugh 'I hope he fails.'
He'd rather the country failed than a Liberal succeed.
No it's because he doesn't want the country to fail that he said he wants 0bama to fail.
The point of that statement was if 0bama succeeds then the country fails, and he was right.
