So, you have strong objections to the way I used the word "Republican". Thank you for putting your opinion up finally, by the way. I'm glad you decided to put an argument rather than a flame. Fair enough.

What you have to accept when you make this assumption is that the current definition of "Republican" has been strongly modified by the newer, "Neoconservative" group running the party. This added group now running the Republican side has polarized the consevative/liberal nature of politics, and by deception, has made most Republicans believe that "might is right", by using God, money, status, etc. as a means of saying they know better than anyone not agreeing with their opinion. Looking at this, you may wonder what my point is.

The people I used to keep in my life, as friends, crushes, acquaintances, etc, the ones I disagreed with the most were coincidently Republican; wealthy and stuck up, intellectual pretenders who have a lot to learn about reality, and in a few cases, monstrous people incapable of unselfish human emotion, who thought the world should be handed to them. Which one are you? The truth is, I've lost contact with a lot of former friends (most people do), but it's with this "Republican" group in which a rift exists that is unhealable. It is a sweeping statement, but to my life, not the whole world. If you actually knew me at all, I was thrust into schools of rich spolied brats and hypocritical religious nuts, and although I did make some friends that were not like what I have described, I made a few that were like that. What I had written was a rant about the "Republican way", and not only did you miss my point in the journal entry, but you ripped a quote out of context and tried to use it against me. Are you wondering why this hasn't been a "genial" discussion?

So, to conclude, despite the fact I have no respect for you, a person to still chooses to remain Anonymous, I do respect that you have an uninformed, but strong opinion against me, and I feel you should see more clearly, because it is clear to me that if I can teach one Republican, maybe there's hope for the world yet.
