Beliefs of Reagan Republicans
- Share via
This Republican, embarrassed by this Administration, applauds Marie Macdonald. May I add to it?
--Are you a Reagan Republican? Do you believe:
--Women are second class citizens and must remain so.
--Ed Meese is a great Attorney General who is honest and ethical and believes in the Constitution.
--Taxpayers must continue to support tobacco production since use of the product kills only a few hundred thousand each year.
--Business is not responsible when it poisons our air, water and food and should not pay for the damage when it does.
--Religion must be taught in school so each kid can invent his own sect and get rich, tax free.
--Unions must be busted since it is morally invigorating to go to bed hungry and cold.
--Each good teacher deserves a medal but not money enough to live on.
--That “Star Wars” will work perfectly since everything that American industry produces works 100% of the time.
--The ex-servicemen who are dying from Agent Orange and from nuclear exposure are just unpatriotic whiners.
--Every child MUST pray in school since there is no time to do it at home or in church.
--We should adhere to the few parts of the Constitution that don’t conflict with our coercive, extremist beliefs; to hell with the rest of it.
--It is better to be stupid than ignorant because you’ll be happy in never knowing when you’re both.
