[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 297521, member: 9859"] Myth Buster; [B][I]"Republicans have painted Democrats as people who will take your guns away."[/I][/B] [URL]http://bluesteeldemocrats.blogspot.com/2006/07/why-democratic-party-of-oregon-needs.html[/URL] I'll give you credit though, you consistently paint Democrats with a wide brush. You're having trouble distinguishing democrats from republicans? That's really not surprising, because in my opinion, there is very little difference these days other than talk. I'll give you the differences. A traditional republican is generally an economic and government conservative. They believe in very minimal interference of government into the private lives of citizens. A common term they parade around is "big government", they don't want "big governments", they basically want business and the marketplace to regulate itself, without interference with laws and regulations from government. In terms of social issues, a republican believes that governments should not regulate social behavior, but allow the society to evolve. They believe people are decent, not greedy, and honest (HA) in many respects. Many modern republicans (Neo's and far rt wingers) have bastardized this philosophy, in that they are not into limited government in many social issues. In issues such as abortion, gay marriage, legalization of drugs, incorperating religion with Gov't,bldg fences, starting unneccessary wars and meddling into foreign affairs of other nations, they favor as much government involvement as possible. Democrats basically favor government involvement and regulation, particularly in social issues. They favor equal rights laws, favorable labor laws, publicly funded education, healthcare.. etc. generally endorsing causes for the common good. Now I know Mr Anarchist (what kind of anarchist are you anyway?) Wkmac rips both parties a new one, and supplies us with his Mt Everest mountain of Ginghriod crap(JK), and injects The Ron Paul theory upon us, which by definition certainly isn't based on Anarchism (although I admittingly like his forgien policy stance). However he does recognize basic social neccessities just differs on how to pay for it thru excess and wasteful Gov't spending. Gov't is harmful but yet neccessary, but do you really support the elimination of Gov't and authority. If so I have one quote for you from Southpark's Cartman "Respect My Authori-ty" [/QUOTE]
