Here's a pass around article to your Republican friends.

It has a Kentucky slant to it, but the theme is universal

Real Republicans believe in limited government. Faux Republicans believe in limiting all but that part of government that indulges corporate America and the wealthy.

Fake Republicans brand Democrats as weak on defense, but it was the Bush administration that ignored dire warnings of impending attack before 9/11 and then invaded Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11, with poorly-equipped troops. Bogged down in Iraq, we're helpless to stop Iran from developing atomic weapons.

The GOP paper tigers stood by and watched North Korea go nuclear. They've allowed military housing to deteriorate into slums and sliced Veterans Affairs hospitals' budgets. They gutted the Geneva Conventions, thus endangering future POWs.
