The Republican Taliban

Houston TX

Description

The Republican Taliban If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck...it's a duck. Republican Taliban types (aka known as The Tea Party, or Conservatives, or MAGAts) share so much in common with the Middle Eastern Taliban/ISIS. What do the Republican Taliban share with the Middle East Taliban/ISIS? Here's what: Ideological purity. Compromise as weakness. A fundamentalist belief in scriptural literalism. Denying science. Unmoved by facts. Undeterred by new information. A hostile fear of progress. A demonization of a education. A need to control women's bodies. Severe xenophobia. Tribal mentality. Intolerance of dissent. A pathological hatred of the U.S. government. So...since they walk like a Taliban/ISIS, talk like a Taliban/ISIS, smell like a Taliban/ISIS, and look like a Taliban/ISIS...they are the Republican Taliban.
