Republicans: A party of cultists (Part Deux)
Tim Grieve posts the items on the House Republican Cultist "American Values Agenda:"
A cult can be defined as a group of people devoted to beliefs and goals which may be contradictory to those held by the majority of society. Alternately, a cult can be defined as an interest followed with exaggerated zeal.That last one sounds pretty reasonable, but you want to know what it really is? According to the Library of Congress, the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act is a bill that would "amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to prohibit the confiscation of firearms during certain national emergencies."
- The Pledge Protection Act.
- The Freedom to Display the American Flag Act.
- The Public Expression of Religion Act.
- The Marriage Amendment.
- The Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act.
- The Human Cloning Prohibition Act.
- Reform of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
- A ban on Internet gambling.
- Permanent tax relief for families.
- And the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act.
Either way you define it, it's clear that the Republican formula for success has devolved into appealing to a small cult of very dedicated followers. If those followers come out and vote in great enough numbers, it can be enough to sway an election.
Beware!
