The Ten Types Of Republicans

This is a funny look at the 10 types of Republicans. From Y/T: "The Dipshit Doodlebug Institute takes an in-depth look at the Republican Party and breaks them down into 10 distinct types."

We all know, however, that the true factions of the Republican Party are: Religious Right, Neoconservatives, Social conservatives, Fiscal conservatives, Security Oriented, States' Rights Oriented, Paleoconservatives & Libertarian conservatives. You can read more about it on wikipedia here.

^Six Types of Progressives.

http://www.rockridgeinstitute.org/research/rockridge/valuesmovement

1 Socioeconomic progressives believe that the most important considerations involve money and class. The best solutions are therefore economic and social class solutions.

2 Identity Politics progressives are those who either belong to or identify with a particular oppressed group who desires their liberation and an end to oppression.

3 Environmentalists focus on the sustainability of the earth and the natural environment, the sacredness of nature, and protecting native peoples.

4 Civil libertarians: These progressives focus on the notion that human beings have a fundamental right to live their lives without harassment and harm being inflicted on them by arbitrary power. Issues of freedom, liberty, democracy (equal sharing of power), and individual rights are paramount.

5 Spiritual progressives focus on the nurturant aspects of religion and spirituality. Service, compassion, and community, connects spiritual progressives to other people and the world, and are central to their spiritual practice.

6 Anti-authoritarians: Civil libertarians and anti-authoritarians share a deep distrust of authority. Where civil libertarians specifically emphasize the interplay between the government and individual freedom, anti-authoritarians point to the larger problem of authority in general: how people and organizations with more power can threaten and harm those with less power. Authority figures here are broadly conceived: they can be large corporations, police departments, even parents.

I must say Videosift could be perfect IMO if it were more open minded and moderate in the areas of politics and religion. It just seems like anything that is labeled "RELIGION SUCKS!" or "DIE REPUBLICANS!" get an auto-upvote from half the community.

I can't really argue against the majority, just saying it would be nice to hear a objective viewpoint once in a while instead of this: http://www.videosift.com/video/I-Dont-Care-How-I-Want-It-Now

I have to agree with Aemaeth. I posted this video because I enjoyed the potshots it takes at the Republican Party, but being a Libertarian myself I would equally enjoy a video taking potshots at the Dem Party. I do think there is a bias on this site - people tend to lean toward being a compassionate liberal, largely Democrat. All of my friends are Dems, so it doesn't bother me so much. In fact, one of my friends is so far left, he's an Anarchist. Yeah, isn't that just bat shit insane? But, he's a good guy.

I'm gonna be straight about this. I agree entirely with Aemaeth, and for once I'm with QM. If you think this is accurate, you're entirely mistaken. This is completely a marginal and straightforward racism-equivalent analysis. I'm sorry, but this is plain and simple bullshit and very offensively so. Basically, I'm very libertarian, marginally a republican, and surely a Christian and I don't agree with any of those ridiculous stereotypes and I find it AS offensive and discriminatory as being called by a racial slur. If I was accused of this sort of thing in public, I'd be thinking "lawyer" and "class action."

If anything, this charming cartoon further divides the parties that we are supposed to be wanting to combine, for peace and reconciliation. If you are of either party and you are in support of "bridging the gap" and "bringing America together" than you should outright oppose this sort of blatant, divisive propaganda. If you support it, than you are supporting a one-party-only and one-side-only argument. That just doesn't work. I should say also that it will be especially disappointing to you in the future if you support this since in our society, 52+% are against this point of view. Do you really want to further divide our people, or do you want to argue a balance and eventually a gradient of change (isn't that progressive?)?

I have many friends who are VERY VERY liberal, as I work in acedemia and have a good number of good friends who live with "alternative lifestyles" and in general think conservatives are wrong, but they don't ever say anything this offensive to me. That would end the discussion entirely and likely end the friendship as well.

Bottom line: This sort of thing makes very Left Liberals feel a warm fuzzy in their head which makes them very confident and very Right Conservatives feel a burning coal in their's which makes them very hurt and angry.
How does that further discussion?
IT. DOES. NOT.

Honestly it reminds me of the sort of anti-Jew propaganda you saw near WWII: Notice his LARGE nose and his GREEDY eyes. HE only wants your MONEY and your POSITIONS... that troll... HE wants you to OWE him so he can RULE over your family with his GREED!!11eleven!!

Give me a break for once.

In the mean time, blankfist, no hard feelings for the DV and the angry response. It's a video people should see, though I hate it so. I'll peruse your queue for others to up-vote to make up my ire. heh.
