Today, I came to a profound realization. The Republican Party has only only one platform: regression. Regression on all fronts. Before I continue, let's examine the dictionary definition of "regression". opposite of "Progression". In simple terms, the RNC has made clear its intent to roll back civil liberties on all fronts (which is nothing new), and that the appointment process of officials will include racist overtones. Hint: when senators complain that a person's race will create "bias", and that this should bar you from service on the Supreme Court, that is racism. Not implied racism, not undercurrents of racism, but hit-you-in-the-head-with-a-ton-of-bricks racism. On Health care, anything other than tax cuts are out of the question for many in the party of "No". With comments like that of Cynthia Davis, who stated that "hunger can be a positive influence", when referring to cancelling a school lunch program for needy children, there is no doubt that progress is not on the plate (pun intended). On issues like GLBT concerns, the answer is that DADT works, marriage (and all benefits) are for straight couple only, and that GLBT persons can be singled out by employers, coworkers, and others for discrimination. On Financial issues, the RNC still adheres to the philosophy that "the best regulation is no regulation". We can all see now how "well" this particular policy has worked in the last several years. so, I now congratulate the Republican party for finally creating a consistent, cohesive platform. Welcome to the party of "no".
