THE ONLY THINGS
THE GOP STANDS
FOR ARE MONEY , POWER ,
AND HATE
By Thom Hartmann
Republicans claim to “ love America ,” but what does that mean ? They sure don ’ t love our religious freedom . America was founded in 1789 as the first secular republic in the history of the world , an accomplishment the Founders and Framers reveled in . Secular literally means “ not religious ” or “ not based in religion .”
But Republicans will openly tell you that they hate secularism and want , instead , the opposite of the core value on which this country was founded : instead , they want to put the interests of a particular religion ( and only one sect within that religion ) above all else .
While our Constitution explicitly says , “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion …” Marjorie Taylor Greene recently said , “ We need to be the party of nationalism and I ’ m a Christian , and I say it proudly , we should be Christian nationalists .”
Republicans will tell you that they love “ working people ” but they hate unions , the only institution in America that exclusively works on behalf of working people . Every single state that has adopted union-destroying “ Right To Work For Less ” laws has been Republican-controlled when these vicious anti-worker laws were passed .
