[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do republicans have this attitude? They completely lack any empathy or sympathy for people who have different circumstances than themselves. They cannot fathom that some people have been systematically oppressed both individually and at an institutional/macro level and the “bootstrap” method doesn’t work for everybody.

I am pretty sure republicans could see a starving child and eat a sandwich in front of them and tell them they should have figured out how to get the sandwich themselves by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and being a better person. [/quote]

It's more about the source of the diatribe and what they actually do with it politically.

Like corporate mouth pieces like CNN or MSNBC saying I'm such a bad person because there are people suffering in Nicaragua and I don't want them here.  Never mind the fact that the same corporations are responsible for all these bad economies, but hey I'm a bad person because, because, because I don't want the corporations to bring their minions here, now for a word from our sponsors.
