Get the republican mug.Related Words
Don't believe all the hype about Republicans or Democrats, they are both cut from the same cloth, exist for the same purpose, use the same methods, and are defined here by the same people on the so called opposite side of the political spectrum.

Get the republicans mug.The fifth incarnation of the United States...
1) Democratic republic (for whites, at least)
2) More politicized nation with stronger federal government forged by the Civil War
3) Empire, with overseas possessions, beginning with the Spanish American War and annexation of Hawaii in 1898
4) Frighteningly corrupt and bizarre corporate conglomerate, as became frighteningly apparent after George W. Bush's theft of the White House in 2000 and the 9/11 terrorist attacks he exploited so ruthlessly
5) The next stage in the evolution of the United States, which can't be predicted with certainty but will hopefully be an "invisible republic" in the tradition of a campfire discussion featured in the late environmental activist Edward Abbey's book Desert Solitaire.

An Invisible Republic (or fifth republic) would presumably follow a fifth major revolution:
1) The "American Revolution," which ended with an independent United States
2) The Civil War, which freed the slaves but arguably did much to wreck the U.S. as a whole
3) The socialist revolution of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which did so much to help American workers
4) The "flower power" rebellion of the 1960s and 1970s, which did so much for civil rights and the environment and perhaps helped end the war in Vietnam
5) It will probably take an even bigger movement, whether peaceful or violent, to wrest control of the U.S. from corporations and hold people like George W. Bush and Bill Gates accountable.

Get the Invisible Republic mug.A member of the Republican Party of the United States, usually classifiable as fiscal conservative and/or social conservative. Fiscal conservatives want to lower taxes, eliminate wasteful spending, balance the budget, obey the Constitution, make government less involved in people's daily lives, leave public services to state and local governments, and trust the laws of supply and demand to ensure a fair economy. Social conservatives want to scrap the Constitution and plunge the United States even further into debt to enforce a fundamentalist Christian police state where propaganda and pseudoscience like Intelligent Design take precedence over historical and scientific fact in schools. Generally speaking, the former category consists of relatively sane, intelligent people, whereas the latter category is a bunch of stupid fuckwits.
Republicans like Kent Hovind, Pat Robertson, and George W Bush give Republicans like Ron Paul and Jeffrey Flake a bad name.

Get the republican mug.One who works for what they have. A member of society who understands that nothing is free, and that if you work for something, and earn it, it should be yours; while democrats believe that we should give everything we have to those who are too worthless to do anything for themselves. Republicans believe that there are good countries out there (UK), confused countries (Fr.), and there are coutries ruled by megalomaniac dictators, whose regions of the world are criminally infested hell-holes, in the middle of the desert. Republicans understand that 1% of the world population has food, because they went to college, and got jobs, and worked to earn money, instead of shitting bunches of children in some third world country, and is too ass backwards to figure out that he needs to work. A republican is someone who is morally sound, and believes in life; adversly, democrats believe that they can do whatever they want, and that no one can make them do anything but their own selfish agenda.
Wow, Reagan was a good president... and so was Eisenhower. Hmm...Economic prosperity, the good ol' days. Too bad the current recession OFFICIALLY started in the last year of Clinton's presidency, after the failing of dot.com stocks, instead of the propagandated bullshit about it being Bushes fault (although we all remember it was bad well before the attempted stealing of the election by Gore / Jewerman)
