What is it that makes people so fond of Republicans? They claim to be for smaller government, but at the same time, fight hard to legislate people from conception to death, refusing abortions, send young men and women off to fight in war because the funding for colleges has been slashed (regardless of the president's claim to support education, that support lags K-12 and becomes an assault when the student reaches high school graduation), and finally, if a person is sick and terminally ill, they cannot die until the evangelists say they can. Saying in the best case scenario that it never happens, and I hope it doesn't because I have an uncle with cancer and know the feeling, and you live to reach a grand old age, there's no heath insurance, very little pension, and the republicans would tell you that good, because it's not socialist. What's wrong with socialism? Nothing. Unless you are a republican.
So why do people like republicans so much? They offer protection. With republicans, people feel the terrorists will not seek to destroy us again. It worked with Iran, when Reagan was elected. It worked in Vietnam. Of course, those are just theories, but theories have a way of lingering and aiding Republicans. Except evolution.

- Long ago a wolf did howl in the day, as a river flowed and the ocean called. But the wolf lay down by another shore, and then became a tree.
