Republicans have cooked up this prototypical Dem who wants to take away their guns, keep any hint of religion out of politics, heavily the tax the most wealthy, offer health care to all and who thinks European socialism is not so bad after all and capitalism is deeply flawed.
And I realized...I'm that Dem. Yep, I believe the second amendment only guarantees a right to own a gun to someone who is in a well-organized militia. I'm a strict constructionist on church-state separation. I don't believe we need mega-billionaires and think...
...those who make vastly more than they need should be tax heavily. I believe health care is a right. That the environment is more important than corporate profits. And that Europe (especially Northern Europe) has the public welfare vs. free market balance better than we do.
I think economic Darwinist Anglo-American capitalism has wreaked havoc on the planet, caused great inequity that is both immoral and threatens stability, and that it must be reined in. So, sorry world, I'm that guy.
And when the GOP says there are Dems like that I think, "Yes, there are!" and "That's why I am a Dem."
