you know always just Jeff Foxworthy has this old thing you know you might be a
redneck if right
well you might've been fooled by the republicans
if is the title a bylaw ref year
if you think that republicans really care
about every embryo turning into a living breathing baby nine months later the new
been fooled
by the republican party new investigations but it was a
RH reality check and Politico have discovered that the co 2 ***
Charles David Koch have spent tens of millions of dollars have their personal
fortunes to fund the
forced pregnancy movement according to our age reality checks
Adele Stan tax documents show that the coke to pose
directed pro-business groups now you have to ask yourself the question why
would a pro-business group B funding
legislative initiatives across america that are designed to close women's
health clinics deny women access to contraception
reproductive health services reproductive health services
or abortions even deny women access to things like birth control pills
so despite the millions
that the cokes is spent on the anti-choice movement make no mistake
about it they eat like the rest either
institutional Republican Party be really don't give a rat's per tutti about
whether or not a woman has an abortion
what they care about
this is a really important distinction and and yet you
want to understand this then you know a lotta stuff falls into place including
the answer questions like
you know where did all the angry white uncover-up is so what they care about is
protecting the Republican brand
the interests a big business and the only way that they can protect their
Republican brand
is to keep republicans in power and the only way they can do that
which allows them to further the interests at the big businesses that
they actually represent
the billionaires is to bring together a whole bunch a small sliver size single
interest groups like the pro-life movement as one of those slivers
under one big umbrella and convince them that republicans care about their issues
they have to build
their coalition this way because if they were honest about their governing
philosophy
they lose every single election in a star at Rand Paul your day said you know
Burridge I'm at a point now that he's a plagiarist has been attacked by axes
eight years
well republicans have been reached out to the haters
yayy why does have been you know the confederate flag loving
you know guys in the republican party why does that help
the business agenda was a really simple answer
he gets Republicans elected and then they can do the business agenda
Democrats have a clear governing philosophy
and that's to do whatever it takes to protect average hard-working everyday
Americans I mean we year we've seen a
flossie played out with a democrat support the labor movement the
environment medicare food stamps unemployment sure it social security
universal health care i mean the list goes on and on but I like the democrats
the republicans have a much more narrow governing philosophy
going there really care about is protecting big business
and billionaires the wealthy elite here's the problem
when that you're governing philosophy I mean if the republicans is it john
bainer just came out and said you know the on bills I'm bringing to the floor
are those that protect billionaires
which is pretty much what he does but if he said that you know if he just told
the truth about determined Mitch Mitch
Mitch maternal learning these guys they would have a very hard time getting
average people both for them
and us they would not win elections so what the republicans had to do
and the really started putting this back to this together back this was
nixon southern strategy was the genesis of this
bring in the white racists in the south into the republican party
there to create a coalition of supporters by bringing together people
and groups
who really don't carer and and may not even agree
with helping corporations and rich people but they're so concerned about
things like abortion or guns are God
that they're going to get in better the billionaires to advance their own
personal agendas their own personal passion
so the republicans go out they find these passionate Singlish
in risk interest-group and and and pulling together under the big GOP
elephant with the
upside down stars on its side
you know maybe they're even trying to get the the devil worshipers
they go to the pro-life movement they say you know if you believe life begins
at conception you might be a republican
they got a gun lovers and safe you think that everyone has a right to carry a
military assault weapon to protect themselves from hordes of angry black
people margin on Main Street you might be republican
got a climate change tires and say if you think the scientists are
self-serving global warming is perfectly normal you might be republican
the got a homophobe since a few hate gay people then you must be a republican
and finally republicans go to the overworked and underpaid white people
the working poor and the middle class
and they say if you think that poor people
are really mostly black and Hispanic lazy bums who don't deserve your help
then you're definitely republican
this is our Republicans win elections and hope our
they just bring in enough useful idiots to get themselves elected
most these positions don't advance the major principles the Republican Party
which is supporting the billionaires and protecting big business but others do
but republicans reach out to climate change deniers they're really try to
protect the bottom lines a big oil
when republicans bring gun lovers under the umbrella really protecting the
profits america's
military-industrial complex are weapons manufacturing in multi-billion dollar
industry
so when you see news stories about how billionaires and business groups like
the Koch brothers are supporting things like fourths ultrasounds are opposing
gay marriage
it should remind you that what they're really doing is they're calling out to
the useful idiots that they need to win elections
they already have the rich people the corporation's their back pocket
cell but if they want to win an election they gotta add the useful idiots to that
that's what they're doing and they're doing it very very successfully
and so the question here alley fog over the Guardian
today the headline where do all the angry white men come from I'll tell you
where they come from
they come from people who twenty or thirty years ago or making
I'm not but they could support that one
world one man but support entire family
with one job and now he has to work his wife has to work his kids have to work
their credit cards maxed out their house their homes under water
their kid has a at twenty thousand dollars student
dat and boxes comes along and says it's
as those black people on welfare this is the Thom Hartmann program
or as those gay people who wanna get married or whatever i mean you know it's
like it's always somebody else's fault
that's what the secular
