Why do people vote Republican?

**************
Personally, I almost want to nominate Crustilicious.


I've said it before concerning why people think (and vote) the way they do. It is all a matter of ones PERSPECTIVE based upon the "world" in which one has lived, how much of THE REST OF THE WORLD they have seen (including whether they were shipped there w/ a rifle or not), and the sources from which they receive the majority of their information when they are back in the comfort zones of their OWN little "world".

One has to ask oneself, "How small is my world?" and is the view from it very very broad and unobstructed? Or is the view very very... narrow.


Because I would have to say that if  traveled to foreign countries (in a ship or freight plane, with a rifle), met interesting people, and killed them... well, I don't think I could say that I really broadened my perspective all that much.


But If I grew up in a place with a population of over 25 million that was considered the third in the world  for cultural and economic diversity and I could say that I spent a couple years in foreign lands, learned new languages, customs and traditions and perhaps even taught English to my hosts... Well, then I could say that I received a much broader perspective on things.


If I could say that my foundation of "right and wrong" and "good and evil" and the governing of man were formed by the extensive reading and study of multiple works of literature that go back to the days of the ancient Greeks; and then reinforced by a deep regret for the things I had done to other human beings (when I was shipped overseas with a rifle) even though I was under orders and (sort of ) convinced I was doing the right thing... well, then I would say my perspective was a little...  broader than that of most.


If I could only humble myself and say that I will continue to read and insatiably pursue knowledge and enlightenment in many fields, disciplines, and subjects because my perspective is still more... narrow than with what I am comfortable (and surely, I do not know everything)... Then I might say, perhaps there is hope.


And perhaps (having not allowed the fruit... the POWER of knowledge corrupt me) if I can abide by the First Law of the Sea and pass on what I've learned...to my children and to whoever else may seek to BROADEN their perspectives rather than continue to view the world through the NARROW slits of "left and "right, 'conservative or liberal, "Christian or Muslim" "Bible or Koran"... then perhaps there is still hope.


I have to have hope but it can ONLY be in MYSELF. Because neither the left nor the right ; republicans or democrats; your "God" or his "God" have mine or the interests of mine at heart. And although I can still physically swim like a fish for miles, this is one "Ship of Fools" from which I unfortunately cannot jump.


Good luck to you all and try...try to FREE YOUR MINDS from bondage.

When I traveled to a foreign land, I did not have a rifle with me. But when I got there, they gave me one, plus a 20mm cannon that fired 3000 rounds per minute. I killed the enemy, and have never had remorse for it. In fact I somewhat enjoyed it. I vote Republican because at this time there is no other choice.

There is always a choice. The limitations of your choices depend completely on the broad or narrow mindedness of ones individual "programming". So happy that your programming allows you to enjoy your work. Perhaps if everyone took a similar attitude towards their work the world could be a better place.

[finisher]

Why vote Republican? And I would say the same for voting Democrat or for doing anything other than standing up and taking fire from the "programmed" by making every effort to verbally oppose (as our constitution allows us) the mental and psychological illusions perpetuated upon the American people by those in power.


Why?  Because ignorance is truly BLISS

On that, I must agree. The gun issue above all else is my main beef with the Democratic party.
When we really scrutinize the issues I confess that I am the same way.






But in the bigger picture (which we all seem to lose sight of when we scrutinize in such a manner) I feel that both parties and all politicians have sold their souls to the "All Mighty Dollar" and that the errosion of our rights has not taken place through continual gun control but rather through the errosion of the people's ability to think for themselves having become addicted to that glowing brainwash box called television.


Neither party will get my vote. Because they all rely on deception and misdirection in the form of biased media.


I don't want to spark the whole "Lesser of two evils" debate on this thread though. So I'll simply say that (the gun issue) is  the only reason I would consider voting republican. Otherwise, to me, both parties are a bunch of sell out political puppets corrupted by greed and corporate power.


If and when the day ever comes that the LE goon squads ever do come knocking on our doors to disarm us, it will be interesting to see who surrenders and who starts killing cops. Of course then the citizenry of this nation will be taking on it's own military after that

Although some officers (and even some soldiers) can actually think for themselves (a habit highly frowned upon by the Admiralty) and  say "I'm not going to do it", I think it is very unlikely that the LE community or the military AS A WHOLE will stand down.


Funny, I always thought that most cops, in general were Republican. Though I could be wrong

careful what you post... I suspect LE/gov't types monitor.

Not a chance, esp. not LE.

Cops are gov't-paid drones, first and foremost. They're lookin' to that gov't retirement brass ring, and you & your rights are not near as important as them getting there! So far as them standing down... observe their behavior when it came to disarming law-abiding citizens in New Orleans a few years ago.

I vote Republican because they're not Democrats.

Democrats are absolutely evil.  Absolutely.  The GOP globalist wing is not much better, but we do get some decent Republicans at the grass roots level.   

Consider  Democrat mayors who vowed to "ban" Chic Fil A from their cities because of the statements of the CEO. Democrats openly state their contempt for freedom of speech and the 1st Amendment in vowing to use government power to punish people who say things they don't want to hear.  Democrats never met a pornographer whose free speech rights they wouldn't  fight to the death to  save....but a white Christian has no rights in their view.  It is astonishing that they're so open in their desire to violate the constitution by using government power this way, but that's how confident they are.  Who makes up Democrat voters?  Billionaires on the one hand, and millions of non-white parasites on the other hand.   

I can't imagine any person who believes in guns supporting the Democrats.   I live in California and between the Democrats and the illegal aliens from Mexico,  they've just about destroyed gun stores by virtue of restrictive laws and by reason of having chased out most of the decent white people who used to vote Republican in California. 

California used to be the State of Ronald Reagan.  Never again.   It is perpetually Democrat and will be perpetually a Marxist state,  non-white bankrupt  both morally and financially.   One thing living in California has shown:  When the white majority disappears, America disappears and it is replaced by the Democrats.

....but a white Christian has no rights in their view.

In view of Democrats? Perhaps of some. Mostly, though, that assertion is ideological malarky, and untrue. I don't think the Dems have put forward any bill restricting rights based upon race or religion, but I'm willing to be corrected if I'm mistaken.

It is astonishing that they're so open in their desire to violate the constitution by using government power this way...

What way - a mouthy mayor in MA?

Who makes up Democrat voters?  Billionaires on the one hand, and millions of non-white parasites on the other hand.

Do they have any white parasites? Or just... non-white ones, the kind the killer in Wisconsin was unhappy about? 

I can't imagine any person who believes in guns supporting the Democrats.

I used to feel the same way, but have found that for a lot of people, that's a local issue. Democrats in one state aren't the same as those in others, though generally they're not good on guns. There are exceptions; I offer John Dingell as example.

   One thing living in California has shown:  When the white majority disappears, America disappears and it is replaced by the Democrats.   

I'll bet that white supremacist murderer Page would agree with that!

Most minorities think "white" is right because invariably  invade white communities and look to white people and institutions for the "better life" then can't create on their own.  When people in Mexico want a better life, they don't create a better country....they run away from their country  to white America.  Then, having arrived here and signed up for aid to dependent children, food stamps, ethnic studies, and having  established their street gangs,   they denounce l white people  as "racists" and "oppressors."   

I would challenge you to identify a single major city taken over by "minorities"  that is better than when it was all white?   Name just one!  Oakland?  Detroit?  Washington DC?  Newark NJ?  Los Angeles? 

In Los Angeles we have a Mexican mayor, Antonio Villagarossa.  He refused to put his own Mexican offspring in the Mexican majority public schools because he said he didn't want to "sacrifice" his own children by putting them in the public schools, in which "minorities"  are  now the majority.  Those same dangerous, dysfunctional schools are good enough for your white children,  but not for his kids.  OF course he can afford private schools because he's receiving a taxpayer funded six figure salary, taxpayer funded healthcare,  not to mention tax payer funded bodyguards 24/7.

This same POS Mayor has attended illegal alien rallies and  encourage them by saying..."We scrub your toilets."  There you have it.  Mexicans are proud of scrubbing toilets...white people are proud of inventing space ships and space travel.  Which race will create the better civilization?   Well, come to Southern California and see for yourself.

These "minorities" never take responsibility for their "culture" and their dysfunctional life styles and world views.   They blame white people for all their woes....the same whites whom they saddle with the bills for their welfare and their "ethnic studies" programs, the purpose of which is to teach non-white savages to hate white people and America. 

The Democratic Party is spearheading the non-white invasion of this country and its destruction.   Ultimately this process will come to an end when the dwindling white majority is too small to plunder.  Non-white parasites rely on a healthy productive white majority but pursue policies desgined to destroy the very white people on whom their "better life" depends.  Kind of like a rancher slaughtering his herd without any ability to replace it. 

White people have objective value like herds of cattle and flocks of sheep.  Money extracted from white people funds the welfare state on which these parasites rely.  When whites have been slaughtered and their wealth re-distributed and consumed,  non-whites will slide back into the swamp and look around for another white country to which they can migrate for a "better life."  Well, there won't be any.

Now that California is majority HIspanic, California is broke and going further into the toilet.   California has  the highest taxes at the same time  it has the highest deficits.  California is like a dying person that's been drained of its blood and is near death.   When the Mexicans destroy California, they will come to your state.  Wake up  and resist...or die.

Being from LA and being old enough to remember when it was a fine place to live, I also recall the slow decline over the years and I empathize completely as LA is where my heart is. I took my family and abandoned ship two years ago to move to Medford, Oregon.


Funny thing though, like any city that I've seen, Medford has it's crime and parasites and the like (just proportionally less of it). And although it is significantly less than what I was used to seeing in LA, it almost seems to be more prevalent do to the small size of the community.


Yeah, it's all here; drugs, prostitution, (what these yocals think is) a gang problem (if only they knew). And yes, there are a great many welfare recipients and lowlife trash living off the system while they booze it up and smoke it up. But not a whole lot of what did you call them...Mexicans do I see (but they are here). But from my experiences, life and wisdom have taught me only to see human beings.


But realistically, not a whole lot of brown Mexicans or black people (it disgusts me to distinguish people as anything other than human beings) but in this case I shall say that I only see a whole lot of tweeked out, maybe two or three generations shy of inbred, alcoholic, wannabe gangster, slim shady looking welfare receiving, non-bathing, sleeping in their own dogs filth, clans of white trash!


I don't know where you've been but I can tell you that white people are not immune to human wretchedness.


I think your anger and frustration at the current state of Los Angeles are very misdirected and your rhetoric sounds like something out of 1934 Germany.


Way up at the top somewhere you have been sold out; and by your own just to add insult to injury.


You sound like the militant black people that blame the white man for their enslavement when it was the more civilized (if you want to call them that) Moores and people of North Africa (black people also) that sold the ancestors of today's American black community into slavery.


Like then, it is no different today. It is a war over cheap labor perpetuated by the corporations (owned primarily by whites) and the politicians that they have put in office by paying for a mass media illusion that the American people buy into like sheep every time they turn on that television set or computer screen.


I come from a very mixed cultural background of Spanish, Scottish, Native American, and even MEXICAN indian. We are more educated than most of the people by whom I am currently surrounded (and that was not as a result of affirmative action which I have always opposed). Every generation of my family including myself have given blood for this country and done unspeakable things to other human beings in the service of this country.


Never have any of us asked for anything in return other than to be seen by our fellow Americans as a HUMAN BEING and fellow American.


But I have to wonder if on the first time you lay eyes on me will I see the warm welcome in those eyes of an open minded individual or will I see that "i smell ****" look in your eyes that exposes the hand of a closed minded bigot.


So, exactly why should I vote for the Republicans?  (after all that is what this thread started with before it became a pig pen for racism) Because they're are going to make everything all right? How. Perhaps they will all suddenly grow a set of ETHICS and maybe some balls and start leading instead of voting for the highest bidding corporation. I see this as very unlikely to happen.


But you'll probably say "what does he know, he's just another dumb Mexican", right?


Do your goose steppin' at the Republican Convention if you don't like it.

Your introduction speaks for itself.  The fact that you find your fellow  Mexicans  hordes so repulsive  that even you had to run away from them speaks for itself.   You're very much like our Mexican mayor, loudly proclaiming the virtues of "diversity" and the equality of all peoples even as he pulled his Mexican children from the public schools and into a white majority private school  to save them from associating with other Mexicans. 

Why is it that people who proclaim their love of humanity and their belief in equality are among the most determined to get as far from "minorities" as possible....like your running away from Mexican infested Los Angeles to a place of comparative safety in white majority Oregon.

Just one question:  When the Mexicans overrun  Medford,  Oregon,  where will you go then?  How far are you willing to run to keep a healthy distance between you and your fellow Mexicans?

Funny thing about forums such as this........We cannot see each others color or race.We can only see their heart by the words coming from their mouth. In this case "the key board". If you can't reply to the question (Why do people vote Republican) without making a racial issue of it, then don't reply!

Don't play the free speech thing on me! This has nothing to do with the First Amendment.
You are on a family oriented web site that has rules and regulations to follow, and flaming someone who disagrees with your brand of logic is against those rules.No one gets a free pass to violate them............Including Mod's.

The main problem is the welfare state we have created.  In 1960 only 6% of the American people were receiving any welfare benefits.  Only 13% were below poverty level.  No federal welfare program.  50% of Americans attended chruch twice a week.  Even if 50% didn't attend chruch, Christian principles were being used in America to keep sin and destruction in check.  Hollywood made Christian movies with great results.  Good guys always won in westerns, etc.  50% of blacks were in the middle class.  85% of Americans had health insurance.  35% of jobs were in manufacturing.  About 35% of the workers were unionised.  Detroit was the richest large city in America.
 
With Americans turning their backs on God, and the creation of the "Great Society" by LBJ, blacks were put on the welfare plantation.  Hippies wanting to live cheap or "free" gravitated to black neighborhoods because of the lower prices on rent.  They introduced young blacks to free sex and drugs.  Rules for welfare took teen mothers out of their parents homes, put them in housing projects or section 8 housing, gave them a welfare check and food stamps, thus began the downward spiral.  Now Hispanics and poor whites are being pulled into this cycle.  Hard work is not rewarded, get the freebees.  Detroit was turned into a socialist experiment.
 
This is one reason American's vote Republican, to get away from the welfare state.  Government is too big, you not only have poor welfare participants, but you have corporate welfare also, depending on who is in power. 
 
I vote Libertarian when I think they have a chance locally and in primaries, but I have to vote the lessor of two evils to try to keep from falling into the downward spiral of socialism to communism.

A perfect example of different mindsets. Someone defended giving people money or benefits by saying it paled in comparison to the money given to big oil in tax breaks. Right or wrong, letting someone KEEP more of what they earn in tax breaks is not the same thing as GIVING someone else money or benefits. THE MONEY DOESN'T BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT!

Without taxes we have no government.  Without government we have anarcy.

How do you characterise what we have now? There is no doubt that the Obama admin is steering us toward chaos and this will lead to anarchy. I say no to government at any cost.
