Meh, I mean you sort of took disparate views of a bunch different people and combined them into one boogeyman. I think you would benifit from balancing out where you get your news. Some of those positions, say eliminating food stamps come from fake news sources. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/...inating-f/ I think you've created a bit of a straw-boogeyman, which of course Democrats use to try to show that there is this difference between them. Though some of what you said is definitely true the reality is that most of those are little held positions, or you are missing some major nuance in what is being said by Republicans. Or if you take the intelligent design thing, neither of the last two Republican presidential candidate, nor does Donald Trump believe that. Some Republicans in the midwest do. So at a national level, it's just not true. Yet you say They, as though it encompasses the whole group.

It's fine to be left wing, I tend that way myself on many things. But knowing your enemy, you should know what he's saying about himself, not just what other people say about him.
