In January, Pres. Biden asked with frustration what the GOP is for. Judging by their actions, writes Roger Terry, Republicans are pro-death, pro-pandemic and pro-global warming.
| April 14, 2022, 12:11 p.m., “I did not anticipate that there’d be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that President Biden didn’t get anything done.”“Think about this: What are Republicans for? What are they for? Name me one thing they’re for,” he continued.
First and foremost, the GOP is a pro-death party. This may sound harsh, but we need to label it for what it is. Republicans claim to be pro-life, but a party that opposes universal background checks for guns and refuses to restrict assault-style weapons supports policies that increase shootings, especially mass shootings.
Third, the GOP is pro-global warming. It has consistently used misinformed arguments to support the fossil fuel industry and place hurdles in the way of any legislation to seriously address the warming of the planet. And did I mention that their refusal to accept climate science has a direct impact on the severity of droughts, wildfires, flooding and hurricanes, all of which cost human lives? So this also makes the Republican party a pro-death party.
We could copy any of a dozen other systems and provide better health care for our citizens, at a far lower cost, but the Republican party will not allow it. This makes the U.S. just about the only country where a person or family can be bankrupted by medical expenses, but it also makes us a country that experiences too many preventable deaths. Which, of course, is another reason the GOP is a pro-death party.
