Here is an excerpt from a Ben Stein speech that I found thanks to South Dakota Straight Talk. [I just blog rolled this relatively new site who is authored by Joel Rosenthal] Here is an excerpt:
The GOP is the party that wants the nation united under the paradoxical but real banner of individualism. The Democrats are the ones who want to divide it in every way they can to win an election. Black against white, poor against rich, left against right, men against woman and women against men, and teachers against everyone else.
The GOP wants to unite under truth, freedom and affection. One country held together by love of all that is noble that is common to all humanity. The Democrats' goal: a fractured, angry, quarrelsome nation divided into whatever it takes to win an election, whether that's a lie about racism or a lie about stealing an election or a lie about big business owning the other party.
The GOP wants to unite and elevate America. The other side wants to divide and anger by appealing to the lowest possible emotions and fears.
