THE GOP’S PLEDGE TO AMERICA
Kermit C. Moss
Mercy me, sakes alive, and carrot coffee! What about the GOP’s recent pledge to America? For what all those pretty words really mean, we need only to look at their interpretation by Shaun Jacob Halper, as reported in the September 23rd issue of the Huffington Post:
1. We pledge to serve the rich.
2. We pledge to blame the poor for being poor.
3. We pledge to defend the right of the Religious Right to destroy the separation of church and state.
4. We pledge to expand the world’s addiction to
oil and help big business destroy the health of our
planet.
5. We pledge to destroy health care reform to ensure that big business continues to profit off the sick.
6. We pledge to cut funding for institutions that do not serve the rich.
7. We pledge to tolerate homophobia, racism, and Islamaphobia.
8. We pledge to demonize smart people as
un-American elitists (unless they are Republicans) and to
teach pseudoscience.
9. We pledge to define any opposition to our foreign policy ideas as treason.
10. We pledge to pretend that we care about
America when we really care only about ourselves.
And if we fail to win, we pledge to force a
sixty-vote supermajority on every bill, making America
as ungovernable as possible.
DON’T SUPPORT THE GOP ON NOV. 2ND! IT COULD VERY WELL BE FATAL TO OUR GREAT DEMOCRACY!
