Republicans once called government the problem - now they want to run your life

I’m old enough to remember when the Republican party stood for limited government and Ronald Reagan thundered “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”

Today’s Republican party, while still claiming to stand for limited government, is practicing just the opposite: government intrusion everywhere.

Republican lawmakers are banning masks in schools. Iowa, Tennessee, Utah, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona and South Carolina are prohibiting public schools from requiring students wear them.

Republican states are on the way to outlawing abortions. Texas has just banned abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they’re pregnant. Other Republican states are on the way to enacting similar measures.

1. Republicans used to hate frivolous lawsuits and trial lawyers.

2. They are hypocrites. And have been for a very long time.

And they are liars. Also something they've been for a very long time.

So they say one thing & mean another. And 40% of our population are too ignorant and/or gullible to know they're being played.

3. And it's not really six weeks of pregnancy!

They are trying to fix this time limit at six weeks after the first day of the woman's last menstruation. That would be two weeks after the next period would usually start, in a woman with a very regular cycle. And ovulation usually occurs sometime in the middle of that interval. So the pregnancy would not have been going for six weeks at that point.

5. 1. They're against anything that might hurt them.

2. And for anything that might help them.

They try to dress each up in values and beliefs, but it’s b. s. Their only values and beliefs are #s 1 and 2.
