Do the Republicans really want a Theocratic Dictatorship?

It would actually be good for the country if the Republican Party went back to the “country club Eisenhower Republicans of the 1950’s. The Democratic Party would have less control over our government and we would have a truly “loyal opposition”. The “loyal opposition” has gone the way of the dinosaur.

President Eisenhower saw Nazi Germany and understood what happened there could happen in any country. Democracy requires that citizens work at their government. Dictatorship demands only loyalty. I believe President Eisenhower saw the seeds of dictatorship here, especially among some Republicans in Arizona.

There is a lot of near violent name calling but there is no reasonable opposition political party. The “Republicans” just want our Federal Government to fail.

It’s complicated, but I believe that the Republicans have been overtaken by those who believe a non-Democratic Republic Theocracy like Christian Rome had is best for our country; hardly a loyal opposition. And more like a repudiation and trampling of our Constitution. In our country “Conservative” does not include those who favor Theocratic Dictatorships over Democratic government.

The Democratic Party as it now stands is nearly a match for the Republican Party of the 1950s. It is a very big tent that includes both Liberals and Conservatives. In that light it is easy to understand the appeal of the Democratic Party to such a large number of voters.

President Clinton addressed this issue on “Meet the Press”:


There is a “Huffington Post” article “Clinton-There won’t be a repeat of the 94 Elections” here:
