Why I hate Right Wing Christians

[KevinM1]

I'd wager there are degrees. 

I don't see how a supreme court decision that changes the course of US politics as we know it is equivalent to some college kids running around a false petition to repeal the first amendment.

If your saying that the right is better about the 1st amendment, then you are woefully failing to show it.

The problem of college students is quite a bit more serious than you are making it out to be. The entire higher education system is being corrupted by these students, with most political/cultural/humanities departments having been taken over already. On the flip side, I could say the view of 4 unelected officials doesn't represent the majority republican view.

Democrats talk so much about how great they are for the poor. I'm not sure how much time people have spent listening to the other side of the isle, but the creation of the welfare state, the destruction of the family, these are the things that have been keeping people poor. Democrats have made the poor dependent on the state, unable to get out of poverty and completely dependent on the checks they receive from the government.

As someone who's been permanently disabled from birth, I can agree with this.  I can't really have a real job, let alone career because income = the services I rely on to live going away.  Services that I wouldn't be able to provide myself unless I made a lot more money than possible with my physical condition.  I do a little here and there, so I don't go insane, but nothing that could be considered real income.  The basic idea for someone like me is to apparently just exist at the pleasure of taxpayers, with no goals or ambition.

The flip side, however, is a party that simply wants to cut programs rather than reform them, which is just as ridiculous, and more damaging.

I would definitely work if I could keep my services.  Honestly, even if 90% of my income went to taxes to keep my services intact, I'd do it.  Because at least I would be paying into my own care, paying into local infrastructure, etc.  I wouldn't just be leeching off the system.  But neither side thinks of things like that.  Instead, it's either more layers of bureaucracy with no gateway towards self-pride, or people wanting to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Regarding the Republicans suck attitude, the problem is that the wingnuts have taken over, and those that are otherwise okay follow the party line out of fear of losing their office.  So, you have people like Kelly Ayotte, who's not completely terrible, joining the idiotic "Obama shouldn't be nominating a new SCOTUS judge!" chorus, even though that's his Constitutional duty.  It's partly an issue of our two-party system, partly an issue of old school Republicans losing out to the frothing evangelical crazies.

I'm hoping for a party split during the RNC.  We need a viable second party.  One that doesn't want to usher in a new fascist regime that may (Cruz) or may not (Trump) want to implement the Christian version of Sharia Law.
