Yes, they both are. However, the Repubs have been the lesser of the two evils (doesn't mean they get my vote).
Zealotry is bad concerning anything. Look at Pelosi, if she were 'religious', she would have already been attacked. Since her extreme leftist socialist views goes hand in hand with the media, she doesn't.
I have yet to hear about a politician that doesn't cite God as an inspiration for political values/beliefs/basis of societal regulation or tries to push their religious beliefs into a political forums, regardless of political affiliation. God's a great scapegoat. The ultimate wash of accountability. I'd like my politicians Athiest, actually. And motivated by science and fact, rather than mysticism and the need for an imaginary friend.
But do you think Clinton meant it, Bush? IMO the right is more devout while someone like Clinton just says it. I agree about the pushing religion, but pushing other beliefs (atheism) is just as bad.
There are all sorts of influence on people, religion happens to be one. One does not need to check it in at the door just because they are political, just as they shouldn't check in Bastiat.
Religion, science and fact are not exclusive. You can believe in them all with no conflict. For all the theories of evolution, science itself can shoot them down. So why would why believe in it.
We are, partly, a socialist nation - been that way for a loooong time. That includes some Republican and some Democrat backed policies. I'm not a socialist, but I do not see fault at being of service to your country - community building activities - however, not POLICIES. I DO see fault in regulating everything to death, yet on the flip, when the greedy bastards get out of control, they need to be reigned in. If nobody's doing it right, then any suggestions?
ohhhh, yes, yes, yes. But no one should be forced into being 'at service for your country'.
I could become dictator of america, maybe.
I'm not Rep or Demo, nor am I Libertarian. I think all politicians are self serving in the guise of public service and completely out of touch with their constituents. They are (mostly) all, YES, you got it - PHUCKERS.
Yes, they are all phuckers, just some bigger phuckers then others. lol
WHile I would never be a Democrat, I am not a Repub. Right wing conservative libertarian.
