What is good about Republicans? Most Democrats in the country think we are racist, homophobic, bigoted people who are destroying the earth with our gas-powered SUV’s and our coal-powered electric plants. (They need their private jets, of course!) They have been told that we don’t care about others, as evidenced by President Trump ripping children from the arms of their mothers and locking them in cages at the border. Unfortunately, none of that could be farther from the truth.
Most Democrats don’t really know any Republicans. They live in big cities, run by Democrat mayors, (mostly on the east or west coasts) with Democrat neighbors in their high rise apartments that they might, just might be able to recognize in a police line-up. Or maybe not. Life for them is fast-paced, cut-throat, and frenzied. Even in the suburbs, moms serve on museum boards or work on fund raisers for their kids private schools in between ferrying them to soccer practice or ballet classes or meetings with their private tutors. They don’t know what life is like for the rest of America and they don’t care. And so, they accept what the media tells them about the rubes who live in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Dakota, Missouri and so on.
But let’s look at what they believe to be true about us and what is really true about Republicans — even Republicans in their own neighborhoods.
First, unlike the Democrats themselves, we are not racist nor exclusive. No Democrat running for office had better admit to being pro-life, because that is a kiss of death. You must be pro-choice to be a Democrat, or at least silent on the subject. Races are divided into separate camps by the Democrats, who have returned, illegally, to segregation, and conned African-Americans into believing that they are actually creating special places just for them. I wonder if their great grandparents would have believed that those blacks- only waiting rooms, schools, and water fountains were special gifts from the white Southerners? I tend to think not, since they fought for years along side Republicans to get rid of segregation.
Republicans accept people of all colors and races into the Republican Party. There were no segregated water fountains at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference! And while many of us are Evangelical Christians or Mormons or devout Catholics and do not believe in gay marriage or transgenderism, we exclude no gays or transgenders from our Party. If they love America and the Constitution, we embrace them with open arms. Two of the most illustrious Republicans are currently former Ambassador to Germany, Ric Grenell, who is gay, and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the first black to be elected to the Senate from the south since Reconstruction days. They, like Herschel Walker; former HUD Secretary, Ben Carson; Candace Owens; and thousands of others are not only part of the Republican Party, but esteemed members. We welcome all comers, and both Hispanics and African-Americans are moving to the Republican Party more and more as they realize that our values are their values and that the Democrats have left them behind.
Republicans are far more religious than Democrats. Seventy-three percent of Republicans are certain that God exists, but only fifty-five percent of Democrats are. A couple of years ago, the chairman on the Democrat National Committee announced that Democrats were the party of the non-religious. And he was correct. Republicans are far more religious than Democrats. They pray more, twice as many of them believe in absolute right and wrong, and twice as many Republicans as Democrats look to God for guidance on what is right and what is wrong. Is it any wonder that Democrats have come up with wild ideas such as the ability of a human being to change his/her gender, or that there are multiple genders? Is it any wonder that there exists no moral compass to tell them it is wrong to advise young adults that everyone should be bisexual and that to be “straight” (the sex you were born with and interested romantically with only the opposite sex) is a bad thing?
Republicans believe in life and in the traditional family. Most Republicans are pro-life, understanding that at the moment of conception a tiny human being with its own unique DNA has begun to form, and that within 21 days, it will have a tiny beating heart. To them, the willful aborting of this tiny human life at the whim of a selfish mother is murder. And the Bible specifically states: “Thou shalt not kill.” Republicans also understand what pediatricians and psychologists have been saying for years: A child raised in a loving home with a mother and a father has fewer problems at school, is healthier, is less likely to do drugs, and is far less likely to end up in prison than a child raised by one parent or by two parents of the same sex. So we promote, encourage, and support traditional families.
Republicans believe in science. We know that science has shown that through the history of the earth there have been cyclical rises and falls in temperatures creating sometimes ice ages and sometimes warm centuries. These rises and falls have had many causes, but none of them in the past has been carbon emissions caused by people because there simply were not enough people on the earth and because they did not consume energy at the rate which we do today. Thus, we can agree that lowering our carbon emissions might help reduce the warming of the earth by a tiny fraction, but that many other factors from the radiation released by the sun to the eruption of volcanos to the shifting of tectonic plates under the oceans which releases heat and warms the waters — all of these contribute more to climate change than man does and all of these are beyond our control. Science and history tells us that and the scientific models predicting gloom and doom have never yet been correct. Ask the polar bears.
We also know that DNA determines whether a child is born a boy or a girl and that no amount of surgery or hormone treatments will change that. A man with long hair and boobs still has the skeletal make-up and muscles arrangement of a man. He may call himself a woman, but scientifically and biologically he is not one. We understand this. We also know that whether we were descended from apes or created by God we only come in two genders, male and female, just like the rest of creation. And males and females were made to mate with each other and produce children. Men were not made to have babies with men, nor women to have babies with women. Even the morally decadent Romans understood this, marrying and having children with their wives even while they had young boys that they mentored and with whom they had sex.
We understand that scientific studies, some done a few years ago by the CDC, determined that surgical masks, the blue one-use type, do not protect the wearer against viruses. They catch saliva and blood droplets, which is their major use in surgery, but they are too porous to stop the microscopic water droplets to which the virus attaches itself. Recently, in one study, patients with COVID were asked to wear a surgical mask and cough into a petri dish. Each of the petri dishes soon grew COVID. The masks had not prevented the spread of the disease. Cloth masks are even worse because they are woven material and let even more particles through. Only N95 masks, used in COVID wards in hospitals, catch about 95% of the virus. If you are wearing anything else, and of course you are, you are needlessly making yourself uncomfortable. This is why many red states (Republican-run states) are not only opening up fully, but are dropping their mask mandates. If you feel safer with a mask, fine, wear one. But understand that all it is doing is making you feel better. So why did President Asterisk just say we still can’t get together in large groups, travel, or get rid of our masks after we have taken both COVID shots? Because the more we follow asinine, useless rules, the easier we become to control as a people. It is not science. It is control. And Republicans know that because we follow the science!
Republicans are also the most giving people in American. Study after study has shown the generosity of Republicans. In an article, “How Political Ideology Influences Charitable Giving,” published in the New York Times in 2018, the writer states that “Red counties, which are overwhelmingly Republican, tend to report higher charitable contributions than Democratic -dominated blue counties.” Why? Again, people who live in major cities, which are often Democrat-run, tend to be too concerned with their own day to day lives to worry about the hungry. In places like San Francisco, the homeless camp out along many of their streets, urinating and defecating on the sidewalks or in the doorways of shop keepers. It is difficult, when you have to deal with that filth to feel much personal responsibility for helping them. You grumble that the city government ought to do something about them, as well it should, and then you go about your business. But Republicans feel compassion for such individuals. Remember that the majority of Republicans are religious and therefore follow the words of Christ who said “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
And so we give because Christ has taught us to give. He did not say, “ Let the rulers feed the hungry.” In Isaiah 58:7 God, speaking through the prophet, instructs us “Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.”
Proverbs 19:17 says “The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the Lord, and the Lord will repay him for his good deed.”
And in Luke 3:11, Jesus speaks of Christian generosity again when he says, “Whoever has two shirts should share with the person who doesn’t have any. Whoever has food should share it too.”
And so, Republicans are the most giving of all Americans.
Republicans, again because so many of us are Christians, tend not to lie as often as others. That is not to say that no Republican politician has ever lied, but in general, Republican politicians tend to stick closer to the truth. Democrats seem to have no qualms about saying whatever is expedient, regardless of how untrue it may be. Remember AOC pretend weeping over a fenced parking lot that supposedly held the “caged kids” during President Trump’s administration only the so-called cages were actually nice dorms with super-hero bedspreads and wide-screen televisions? The cages that the Democratic press so gleefully showed were from the Obama administration.
Then there was Adam Schiff who told us repeatedly on television that he had “seen the proof” of President Trump’s collusion with Russia to win the 2016 election, except of course, two congressional investigations and a Special Counsel’s two year investigation in addition to a previous FBI investigation found no proof. Zilch. Nada. It didn’t exist. Democrats believe lying is simply one of the tools in their political arsenal. Republicans, however, don’t. Everything they said about Hunter Biden and the kickbacks to Joe were true. When they say that the Keystone Pipeline would be a safer way to convey oil to the south of the U.S. from Canada, they are telling the truth because they have looked at the ecological studies regarding the pipeline and the statistics of how many trains full of oil and gas have derailed in towns or near waterways.
Republicans are the party of women. We don’t simply pretend to care about women, we really do. In the “Me too” movement of a couple of years ago, the vast majority of men who were accused of sexually harassing women were Democrats. Few Republicans made the list. We also care for the emotional well-being of women who suddenly find themselves pregnant. Democrat-supported groups like Planned Parenthood, literally give them no choice but abortion, no matter how unsure they are of what they want to do. Women have broken down hysterically when they have accidentally seen the tiny baby that the abortion doctor has just removed from the safety of their bodies. Republican groups like Choices, show them there are others routes they can take and support them through their journey with material aid. Nor do we support letting men who call themselves women compete in women’s sports or be in women’s restrooms or dressing rooms. We support the rights of women both to their privacy and also to sports where they have the chance to excel. No woman can beat a man in a race, for example, so to let a transgender compete, removes the possibility of a woman ever winning again. Republicans stand up for women!
Republicans are not racists, nor do we exclude from our party anyone who believes as we do about the Constitution and who loves America.
Republicans are more religious than Democrats and it shows in the way that we treat others.
Republicans protect life, even of the unborn, and support the traditional family that has always been the bedrock of our society.
Republicans believe in science and act based upon science, not upon our whims.
Republicans are the most giving people in America, donating to local, national and international charities to feed, clothe, and house the needy.
Republicans tend to tell the truth more often than not.
Republicans stand up for women.
All in all, the Republican Party is a good political party to belong to. Its main goal is America first and Americans taken care of before others. “But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers” (1 Timothy 5:8).
