Are Democrats Evil?

**Leader** · 23 Nov 05, 10:02

I don't think so. At least they're not evil simply for being Dems. Apparently, the feeling isn't mutual.

The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: All Republicans Are Evil!

When you think about the word "evil," what comes to mind? Maybe the Nazis, Stalin, Mao, or Saddam Hussein? How about serial killers or terrorists? Perhaps you even think of some comic book villain whose goal is to destroy the world!

On the other hand, if you're a liberal member of the Democratic Underground thinking about the word "evil," the first thing that probably comes to mind is Republicans -- and not just the big name Republicans either. The Republican minister? Evil! The Republican soldier? Evil! The Republicans reading RWN right now? Evil!

Just read this thread at the Democratic Underground called, "Are the Republicans EVIL?" and look at most, but not all, of the replies to the question posed in the title. There sure are lots of liberals who think all Republicans are evil people...

shenmue: Yes. Simple answer.

Yoda Yada: "Yes. They certainly do not advocate "Peace on Earth...Goodwill Toward Men". Now...that's not very Christian of them, is it

durrrty libby: I don't buy this excuse anymore “I know people who are registered "one issue only" Rethugs”

Sorry , that is not possible because, even if they disagree with much of the platform, they still vote it. Sort of like guilty by association.

So yes they are all evil, even if only by association. They are still enablers or really really dumb."

mitchum: Nor do I anyone who still identifies themselves as a republican is complicit in the chicanery and murderous actions

Skittles: short answer: YES. long answer: HELL F***ING YES

Oregonian: Yes. They are a cancer on the nation. The last five years have made that clear.

samsingh: yes and many more disgusting things. they are supported a mass murderer and all things that are against America.

Robertwf: Evil. without a doubt they are certified, guatenteed, and verified 100% evil

MrBenchley: Hannah Arendt wrote of the "banality of evil" in covring the trial of Eichmann...who thought of himself as a cog in a machine and focused on the trivia of his everyday routine, ignoring the evil that routine aided.

Something like that is going on with Republicans.

zonmoy: yes. they are evil men who worship an evil god.

C_U_L8R: Pure Concentrated Evil. false christians filled with hate and fear who desire to put the world in bondage and extract all the value and profit they can from their spoils of their pillage. May they all suffer unfortunate doom.

While these comments are ridiculous, they're also completely consistent with the sort of commentary you get from liberals like Michael Moore, Howard Dean, & Ted Rall. If you hate Republicans and everything they stand for, think Bush is Hitler, and run around claiming Republicans hate black people and want to poison the air and water, then you're in essence calling Republicans evil, even if you don't use the word. These comments at the DU are really nothing more than lefties who're taking the rhetoric of prominent liberals to its natural conclusion.

Democrats are deluded. Most aren't evil. Some are.

LIBERALS, and of course the Democratic Party is the party of most mainstream liberals, may not have evil in their hearts, but the things they want usually bring evil things.

Look at virtually ANY leftist policy position, and there will be historical evidence that it has increased human misery and suffering. I honestly do not know how ANYbody with the power of discernment and logic can advocate what the Left espouses.

Evil or not, they are quite simply WRONG on the great questions of the day. They are therefore to be resisted as fiercely as is legally allowed and defeated as often as possible.

I think that the TRUE Liberals (Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, etc.) are slightly evil. I think that they do not use their head when they think or speak and that also makes them dangerous. They want things that will never be (world peace, no need for a military, etc). So instead of trying to come up with solutions that will make things better, they leave things worse and just complain about them.

Democrats, though? We're not too bad.

Hell, you're not even mainstream in your party. Why you still hang in there with 'em, I can't get my head around. They're running from the positions you've articulated on this board as fast as they can.

Come on home. There's room for you in OUR tent.

**leib10** · 23 Nov 05, 15:10

I don't think they are evil by nature. However, I do think that they have a proclivity for distorting the truth by lying or withholding information.

**WeaselKing** · 23 Nov 05, 15:34

Both sides are deluded. If I had my druthers, I'd pull the right to vote from everyone who hadn't performed some kind of service to deserve it. The witless layabout, feeding off of a steady diet of skewed media should not have the same voice in society a serviceman and the volunteer who dedicates hours of their time improving their community. That is a non-monitary example of Socialism. Gifts have no value.

While the Democrats are espousing logistically impossible ideals like socialized health care, whining about Republicans, and letting tyrants run rampant across the globe, and the Republicans are obsessed with banning tax-paying Americans from having equal legal rights based on their sexual orientation and branding important biological research as witchery, our country, influence, and way of life are being threatened because of the real issues. I'd expand on that point, but I fear it would divert the thread.

Bottom line is that our government has become a machine whose only job is to invent more of itself as well as keep itself in power. I suppose it's too idealistic to hope for intelligent & rational people to run for office, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. We need Teddy Roosevelt now more than ever!

Thanks, Bluesman, but you don't want me in your tent. I bring with me legalizing pot (with restrictions) and gay marriages being recognized for healthcare and misc legalities.

Granted I would get rid of all those pesky child molesters (even the cute ones).

**Dreadnought** · 23 Nov 05, 16:32

Just sick of the way they have been criticizing lately. Some is always expected but they seem to sink to new and further lows and expect the American people to buy it. They seem to forget that Clinton could have and should have done more about this problem but didnt. They seem to forget his 4 day campaign against Saddam and his comments over being a threat.They also seem to forget the majority of them saying the very same thing that he was a threat and needed to be taken from power.

I just wish for once they would all consider whats best for the people and our troops and not their party's image. All I can say is just wait unti a Dem takes office if that ever happens they want to see criticism hell the Repubs are about to burst at the seems with the criticisms they have taken.

Well, my wife and I, both rock-ribbed Republicans (with strong libertarian tendencies), were discussing the legalization of marijuana for personal use just last night. Both in favor of.

Gay marriage is out, but your second clause just about hits it on the button for both of us, too. Civil unions, with the same benefits accruing to same-sex partners as for married couples, seems like the ONLY fair way to go. It need not be a MARRIAGE (which is a traditional and well-understood term that need not be bastardized for political ends) for the state to recognize domestic partners' rights and obligations to one another.

And there is absolutely NO daylight between us viz our stand on child molesters.

So...why don't I want you in my party again?

You're one of us. Go to the next Democratic Party rally or fundraiser, and tell me after that that you feel closer ideologically to THEM than to ME.

"Are Democrats Evil?"

Some of them, for sure.

The rest of them are either just deluded, or driven by their own special interests(ie union worker, gov't worker, trial lawyer, etc, etc, etc).

**Bill** · 23 Nov 05, 18:19

"Thanks, Bluesman, but you don't want me in your tent. I bring with me legalizing pot (with restrictions) and gay marriages being recognized for healthcare and misc legalities."

We'll compromise.

I'll champion your cause of legalizing pot(muwahahahahahaha), in exchange for you giving up the 'gay rights' garbage.

Deal?

If they can share health benefits. Not just gay couples either. I think we have discussed this before...If there is a couple (gay or straight) that lives together as "husband and wife" (financially as well as personally) they should be able to be on eachothers health care.

Like Jay and Silent Bob, hetero life partners?

If Jay and Silent Bob are living as husband and wife, I don't want to know about it. But come to think of it their relationship is a typical hetero relationship...One with more opinions than they need and one that just sits there silently waiting for the other one to stop talking.

Hmmm.

I must have allways been the opinion person, because I don't remember that happening. :(
