I’m not a Republican, but I believe there is place in American politics for the Republican Party. America society benefits from the intellectual debates between the Democratic and Republican Parties and the subsequent application of laws and policies that develop from those discussions. I normally don’t follow the internal squabbles of the Republicans, but I think the view of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a more moderate Republican Party, sounds more appealing than Republican Party suggested by former Vice President Dick Cheney and radio personality Rush Limbaugh. The view of Cheney and Limbaugh comes across as offensive to minorities and closed-minded. Not all Muslims are terrorist, not all Hispanics are illegal, and not all Blacks are criminals. Moreover, their personalities and proposed policies are divisive and reckless, especially their comments suggesting that Democrats and supporters of Obama are mindless, ignorant, and un-American. Lastly, just saying "no" and suggesting recycled policies put forward by former President George W. Bush is not a vaiable policy for American success.
