Have you wondered why?
Have you ever wondered why there are differences between the Democrats and Republicans?
It’s their moral make-up, sort of.
Democrats are generally people who want to help people. They are generally decent people. But also, they do whatever they have a mind to, without worrying about the consequences or someone reminding them it may be wrong.
They don’t like someone telling or showing them what they may be doing is morally wrong. This is a conflict; they have obviously learned to live with.
When Democrats elect their leaders, they elect people who don’t remind them of what’s right or wrong.
In addition, they don’t have high expectations of their leaders. Their leaders can lie or steal, as long as it doesn’t hurt them directly.
They obviously have a low moral standard for their leaders because they are afraid their leaders will tell them they need to clean up their act and expect more from them.
Unfortunately, as much as they want to help people, Democrats aren’t big givers to charities or to churches, if they bother to go to church (other than the Unitarian Church). They may give a lot of time to non-profits like food banks, hospitals, etc., but they normally don’t give money to those causes, unless they get recognition for it.
The Democrats would rather have the government support (or assume the responsibility) of those organizations. Democrats feel they pay taxes and the government can divvy up the money to those who are in need. Instead of giving money to charities or churches, they give to the government, and expect everyone else to do so.
Democrats like to make themselves “feel good.” How?
Democrats say things like “Fasten your seat belt, ‘because we love you’.” Everyone knows that’s BS. They don’t even know you. How could they love you, but it still makes them “feel good.”
They want to control others in order to make themselves “feel good” about themselves.
As for their leaders, Democrats have very low expectations of their leaders.
They may not like it, but they accept the fact their leaders may lie, cheat, and steal, as long as the leaders make them “feel good” about themselves.
They accept this because they don’t feel the need to “live up” to the leader’s expectations.
The leaders can say stuff like “Fasten your seat belts, because I love you.” It makes the Democrat feel good that he’s saying that, and some actually believe they mean it. They pass laws to help them “feel good” but those laws control other people. (You can’t get a 32 oz Coke in New York City now… because they love you.)
The Democrats want to governments to run the charities. They want the government to give help to the poor and needy, because they don’t want to do it themselves. So, to make themselves “feel good” they don’t mind higher taxes. The dangerous part is they also don’t mind giving up some of their freedom because it makes them “feel good.”
When a Democrat leader gets caught blatantly lying about something, i.e.: “I never had sex with that woman.” They don’t really care, because they don’t have any higher expectations of their leader. He’s “just like them.” No matter what the leader does, the Democrats feel their leaders are just like them, only better.
Their leaders still have the quality that makes them “feel good” so they ignore the lying and such.
Another example, Obama has lied to the Democrats (and everyone else) over and over again, but the Democrats don’t care. They don’t have high expectations of him. Besides, he’s black and it makes them “feel good” that he’s in office. It doesn’t matter if he’s tearing down the country. It doesn’t matter what he does, he’s their leader and they’ll do anything for him, right or wrong.
They accept anything he says or does, because he makes them “feel good” and so he gets away with turning our country socialistic because they think the government will take care of the poor and needy and elderly. So they won’t have to. It makes them “Feel good.”
The Democrats are willing to give up their freedom, their taxes, and their jobs, to make it “feel good.”
In this, you have an example of the greater portion of the Democrats.
They are also, on the most part, the one’s the government gives to. They support their leaders because if they don’t they may lose their free cell phone (and the free 250 minutes a month) and their welfare check, or their check for all their “dependent” children.
On that note I recently saw a news broadcast where a woman had 12 kids and she demanded in a shout: “Who’s going to take care of all of them children. Someone needs to take care of all of them!” as if she was not responsible for them.
There’s no way she would not vote Democrat (if she votes at all.) All those “feel good” Democrats give her just enough money to survive. Chances are each of those 12 kids will also be dependent on the Democrats for their subsistence.
You have two types of Democrats:
1) the ones who want to “feel good,” and elect someone who willingly lies and cheats, and they just don’t care, because he’s more like them;
2) the ones who must live off the taxes of everyone else because they have never paid taxes in their lives and don’t know any other way of life.
Now, what about the Republicans?
Republicans want to help people, too. Republicans have very high expectations of their leaders. They expect their leaders to have a good moral compass that will always lead them in the right direction.
Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. From time to time they get a leader who is caught with their hand in the “cookie jar” or out with some person other than their spouse.
In a case like that, all the Democrats start shouting “See! We told you the Republicans were no good!”
The Democrats don’t mind if their “Clinton’s” and “Kennedy’s” running around and getting blow jobs in the Oval Office or kill some young lady at Chappaquiddick, being he’s too drunk to know what he’s doing.
That’s okay, because Democrats have very low expectations of their leaders.
Sometimes a Democrat leader will appear to have a great family where they play together and have a great time in public (touch football on the White House lawn, or sailing) but in private, like Jack and Ted Kennedy, they have a number of affairs swept under the rug by his staff.
The Democrats just ignore that and re-elect that person every time. No matter what he does, as long as he doesn’t go to jail over it.
The Democrats, like the Republicans, hold the Republican leaders to high expectations.
The Republicans are “hurt” when one of their own screws up. But the Democrats delight in it, showing the world that the Republicans are just putting on airs and being “holier than thou.”
The Republicans expect their leaders to be faithful to their wives; have a strong faith; and never do anything wrong.
When that doesn’t happen, the Republicans are brought up to ridicule by the Democrats.
“See! We told you so…!!”
When a Republican does get caught doing something wrong, even if it’s a little thing, it’s a major event to the News and Democrats.
Why? Because they have supposedly set themselves up on a higher plain, and are expected to be good and always be a leader of great character and integrity.
That’s generally what’s expected of Republican leaders (by both Democrats and Republicans).
If a Republican leader falls and gets caught doing something illegal or immoral, the Republicans take a hard hit.
Republicans do try to set themselves up on a loftier plain than the Democrats. That’s because they DO CARE what their leaders do.
This infuriates the Democrats and they welcome the chance to point out evvry situation, even though they ignore their own White House blow jobs and naked swims with secretaries.
This is actually good. The Republicans do set themselves up and moral and upright citizens. They WANT their leaders to be good and moral people. Again, the Democrats just don’t care.
This means, the chances are, the Republican who gets elected as a leader has a firm moral foundation to govern on. (That scares the Democrats because he might expect the same from them.)
Democrats are normally jealous of the Republican leaders and work very hard to prove they are just charlatans. They want the Republican leaders to appear like they are: human.
Little do they realize Republicans are human, but they regulate their words and deeds on a more upright path. At least they try to do so.
Republicans live by the words of the Christian leaders who say “all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.”
But unlike the Democrats, Republicans don’t like to accept immoral acts and lying as a “normal” way of life.
They want be good and do better toward their fellow man.
Now, about taxes: Republicans believe the old adage: “You can give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. You can teach a man to fish, and you feed him for the rest of his life.”
That is why most Republicans are for making welfare a little harder to get. They want people to learn to be self-sufficient. They want them to be able to take care of themselves, and they will willingly go out of their way to help them get started.
According to recent polls, Republicans give to charities and churches far more than Democrats do.
"States that voted Republican in the last presidential race are far more likely to be generous to charities than those voting Democratic, a report by the Chronicle of Philanthropy suggests. Cities and states, it turns out, are just as polarized as in the nation’s electorate." source: http://clearwater.patch.com/articles/whos-more-geneours-republicans-or-democrats
Republicans believe the government help is only for those who REALLY need it.
Charities and churches can help people get back on their feet. Republicans don’t get showy with their giving. They tend to keep it secret. But they generally do support charities and churches much more than Democrats.
So, the main differences between the Democrats and the Republicans are:
Democrats want the government to take care of people. They would rather pay higher taxes and give away their freedoms to help the needy, instead of giving to charity or churches. (What they don’t realize is the government is top-heavy with bureaucracies that take mort of the money before it gets to the needy)
Republicans want to cut the top-heavy government and give more directly, the help for the needy. Most charities and churches have a very thin layer of bureaucracy to filter the monies through to those who need it.
Another and main difference is:
Republicans hold their fellows to a higher level of moral conduct.
Democrats don’t really care about morals and such. (As can be proven by their repeatedly worshipping of the Obama’s and Clinton’s and Kennedy’s, Reid’s and Pelosi’s – all are proven liars, yet keep getting elected.)
Did you ever wonder why George Bush was not re-elected? It was not that Clinton was so much better. It was because Bush lied when he went back on his promise of “Read my lips, no new taxes.”
He lied and the Republicans, while liking him, could no longer have him as a leader, and voted against him.
Republicans cannot long tolerate a lying politician.
Democrats, on the other hand, will gladly accept him.
I would apprciate any feedback. --- Paul
