The Sad Decline of the GOP

As I have noted many time before, once upon a time I was a Republican - but the party is not what it once was as illustrated by the image above and the statements of President Dwight Eisenhower.  Today's GOP has become something both ugly and frightening in how it has thrown compassion and decency to the wind as it seeks to transfer wealth from the working poor and middle class.  I'm sure that some readers will disagree with my sentiments, but a review of what today's GOP seeks to do to the social safety net is obscene and certainly not the least bit in keeping with the Gospel message despite the Party's self-prostitution to the nastiest elements of the Christofascist far right.
