Can a Republican be Honest by Conviction?
Richard Nixon broke into Democratic Headquarters in the Watergate building in an attempt to steal information about the campaign strategies of his opponent.
Ronald Reagan traded weapons to a nation the State Department listed as a terrorist nation in return for help discrediting his political opponent.
George H.W. Bush arranged a deal with Iran to hold American hostages until after the 1980 Election.
George W. Bush rigged state elections in 2000 and 2004, which was the only way he could become president.
Political parties give us their best for elections. If the best Republicans are unscrupulous, subversive and traitorous, is it possible for a Republican to be honest and of high character? Does a Republican know right from wrong? Is a Republican capable of knowing right from wrong?
No! A Republican by his nature can’t know right from wrong. The only way to make him honest is to make him accountable. He must have threats hanging over his head whether it’s prison or an eternity in Hell. If there is no accountability, he will act as the members of the Bush Administration are acting. That is why Republicans claim to be the “law and order” party. They know only laws can make them behave properly and believe the same is true of everyone else.
By extension, a Republican can’t be a patriot. He is a jingoist. He views the world from the perspective of the herd. He can’t view the world from universal convictions such as democracy, morals and justice or documents such as the Constitution. His primary loyalty must be to the alpha leader. He reacts to stimulus/response impulses and identification-friend-or-foe urges.
Republicans keep committing subversive and criminal acts because they don’t know any better even though their predecessors got caught doing the same thing. Only harsh punishment and the certainty of accountability could make them honest, and that usually would not be enough to make them behave like civilized people. Civilized behavior is alien to them.
As herd animals, Republicans are unable to negotiate. They like to argue that they should be elected because they would be tough with those are a threat to the U.S. In fact, brute force is their only capability. They have no alternative to force. They lack the intelligence and sophistication to negotiate any issue.
