A Brief Word to Republicans

If you are a Republican, you may not care what I think since I'm not a Republican -- indeed, I oppose most or all of what the GOP has come to stand for -- and therefore not to be trusted or taken seriously (which would only prove one of my points: Republicans think they're right by definition, a concept which is explored in the "Moral Abolutism" chapter.). If that's true, you can stop reading here, because I'm not going to be saying much of anything nice about your Party as it now stands.

If, however, you're curious as to why so many people find your party and the people who vote for it to be despicable human beings, read on.

In short: your party is a blight upon civilization, a virus that infiltrates all the right and proper functions of society and uses their hard-earned legitimacy to support nothing but its own cancerous growth. It is everything it has traditionally accused others of being: a menace to society, a threat to the values we hold most dear.

That which appears principled, it uses only to excuse its most heinous excesses -- and ignores when inconvenient. That which is based in rigorous scientific research, it either distorts for its own ends, claims that the opposite is true, simply ignores, or even suppresses.
