What are the most likely reasons that Republicans are afraid of people other than wealthy, white Republicans like themselves also have health care, freedom from unjust prosecution, and the freedom to do and think as they please?
  1. They realize that it lessens their power if you allow others the same rights.
  2. They simply don't care what happens to other people
  3. They enjoy depriving others of the same privileges they enjoy
  4. They are just vile human beings

You are making the false assumption that republicans = wealthy and white. Most republicans I personally know are not white or wealthy.

Hmmm .... Let me revise this

Which do not belong: democrats, human rights, civil liberties.

Considering that Democrats are usually pro-abortion and anti-religion, I doubt that human rights or civil liberties would adequately describe them.

Look, the GOP needs a pretend ideology to gain support.

That's why when a Dem is in power that are very much in favor of "small government" and "liberty"

But when they get into power they break historic deficit spending records and wiretap US citizens without a warrarnt. Thus breaking the law at the highest level of government....

Did I also say they very much support the rule of law???

I do remember some universities that are limiting students' free speech by creating free speech zones that are active at only certain hours of the day and I know Republicans don't run those universities.>?

On the flip side of that coin, the dems are always generalizing the republican side as stupid, bible thumping, gun loving hillbillies who are intolerant, just like the lies perpetuated by the Hollywood media. Total fabrication.... just like most things said by left wingers that are only beleived by the truly stupid.

If you want to accuse the right of generalizing, you need to look in the mirror because the left does it just as much, otherwise it makes YOU stupid
