All hail Republicanism! Actually, the statement proposed as the title for this article is an absolute contradiction in terms. Republicanism, that is the agenda set forth by the Republican Party, and adhered to by most Republicans nationwide is very simple - less taxes, less government, more personal freedom. What is dictatorial about that?

Let’s look at what is really going on here. Certain groups of people in America simply hate Republicans, and what we stand for. Whether they go by the name Democrat, Socialist, Progressive, Liberal, Green - they are all the same type of person. They all loathe and despise Republicans because we, generally speaking, are free market, pro capitalist, anti regulation, pro individualism, pro second amendment, pro life. In other words - sane.

We, as Republicans, love wealth. We love the idea of wealth, love sharing in that wealth, love to hear about others benefiting and prospering from that wealth. Wealth creates business, creates jobs - better paying jobs; wealth is what drives our economy and has allowed America to be, and remain, the freest, most prosperous nation in the world. It is the reason we support deep cuts in taxes. We know money makes money, and we desire that everyone have the opportunity to contribute. The less constraints on the money we earn the better. Right?

Without wealth there is but one alternative. Dependency! If we don’t have enough to live on, we either suffer miserable consequences, or we relinquish the greatest right this nation has bestowed. Freedom! If we are dependent on others, namely government, we lose that element of dignity, of self worth and self respect. When we are dependent on government, it acts as a hook, and we become accustomed to it to such an extent it literally becomes a “fix”, and we do whatever we can to ensure those “fixes” keep coming. The Democrat Party is the “dealer”, and it is they, not Republicans, who desire to keep you hooked (dependent) on government. Raising taxes and increasing the amount of money spent on social programs is what is promised to keep us hooked. Of course, it is never enough to keep us going very far; but it is just enough to keep us begging for more government action.

Republicans fight savagely to ensure more person freedom, which keeps fewer people hooked on government dependence, while Democrats fight savagely to keep more people hooked on government dependence, which ensures less personal freedom. Does anyone want to explain how that makes Republicans “Dictators”?

Republicans, by in large, are pro-life. We accept that life begins at conception, which is clearly evidenced by science, and steadfastly oppose Roe vs. Wade, knowing it is bad, misguided law; and we are desirous to see it overturned, reverting the decision back to the states. Democrats, by in large, support abortion, which is defined as the termination of life within the womb. And so long as the fetus remains within the womb, even through the ninth month of pregnancy, Democrats will support a woman’s right to terminate. Either life has value, or it hasn’t. And that life is worth fighting for, whether it be in the womb, or in a coma. Republicans choose life. Democrats choose abortion. Does anyone want to explain how that makes republicans “Dictators”?

Republicans support the right to bear arms. Guns have been an integral part of the American experience from the very beginning. If it had been a stipulation that all gun owners relinquish their guns in order to be counted as Americans - the states never would have united, and England, after regrouping from its first lost against us, would have beaten us the second time around, and long before 1812.

Guns continue to be ingrained in our civilization, despite the slaughter that is committed by them on a daily basis. Understand, it is criminals, not law abiding, responsible gun owners, that commit atrocities with guns. Republicans reject any measure to restrict gun ownership by legal, law abiding, responsible Americans, while Democrats support measures to ban all guns. Such a measure has already occurred in our capital, Washington D.C. What is the murder rate there?

Democrats support banning all guns nationwide, repealing the second amendment, and confiscating every last gun in America owned by legal, law abiding, responsible Americans - thereby leaving the remaining stock of guns, having gone unchecked, safety in the hands of criminals, who by their very nature would never willingly hand them in; and who will now feel even more emboldened to inflict even great harm upon society. Unless we can believe calling, “Help, police,” is going to instill more fear than brandishing a gun?

Republicans support the right of Americans to protect themselves, their families, their property, their communities from these very criminals. Does someone want to explain how this makes Republican “Dictators”?

The hate, the bitterness, vitriol that Democrats feel toward Republicans is as pathetic as it is childish. If all Democrats have to fight us with is silly name calling and nonsensical laws, can anyone really feel comfortable, can anyone feel obliged, can anyone really feel moved and swayed to belong in such a party? And Republicanism is Dictatorship?
