ellauri100.html on line 493: We are interested in measuring happiness on this site because many studies have found that religious people are happier than non-believers, and some have found that politcally conservative people are slightly happier than are political liberals, even after controlling statistically for religiosity. A recent Gallup survey found that religiosity was associated with better mental health for Republicans, but it didn’t make a difference for Democrats. We want to investigate these complex relationships among happiness, morality, religion, and ideology.
ellauri105.html on line 100: In many ways, there was a notable convergence in how Democrats and Republicans saw Biden’s speech: as a breathtakingly ambitious set of proposals to use government as an instrument of social and economic transformation—an unabashed progressive platform unseen from a President in my lifetime. Republicans hated it; Democrats, for the most part, loved it.

(US & UK) originally used by Europeans/white people as a pejorative term for a black person. Possibly from Portuguese barracos, a building constructed to hold slaves for sale (1837). The term (though still also used in its original sense) is commonly used today by African or Black Americans towards members of the same race who are perceived to pander/kowtow to white people; to be a 'sellout'; to hate themselves; or to "collud[e] with racism for personal gain." It is often used against black conservatives or Republicans (similar to Uncle Tom and coconut).

Whilst people are constantly harping on about whether the Democrats or the Republicans are better or worse than each other, they are ignoring the fact that both parties have done nothing to seriously address the severe decay that is undeniably afflicting America’s social and physical fabric.

ellauri350.html on line 167: Dad Mr. Tom E. Dewey did not endear himself to all Republicans, and in some he inspired a degree of scorn. To Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth he resembled “a groom on a wedding cake.”
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 406: There is no such thing as trickle down economics. Democrat and some left leaning Republicans often argue against a straw-man that NO candidate or politician has ever proposed. Here’s a paper Thomas Sowell (from Hoover Institution, one of the worst right wing thinktanks in existence, sadly parked at Stanford University) wrote to "clarify" :P
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 507: On a smaller level, Republicans turned the state of Kansas into a laboratory for trickle-down economics, with the goal being to prove conclusively that if you aggressively cut taxes, the economy will rev like a mighty engine.
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 567: Given the evidence, why are such targeted tax cuts perennially popular among policymakers, especially Republicans? The authors point to one major reason — the power of wealthy individuals and corporations to set policy agendas through lobbying and campaign contributions.
xxx/ellauri167.html on line 558: Now, “Washington” formed the Federalist party. The other major party in those days, The Democratic Republicans, was formed by Thomas Jefferson [and] there are grounds for accepting the testimony of the Reverend Jedediah Morse of Charleston, who accused Jefferson of being an Illuminati agent. Thus, even at the dawn of our government, it was the democratic party that was the Illuminati front. …
xxx/ellauri199.html on line 257: Republican Jesus is commonly used as a way for Democrats (or any non-Republicans) to legitimize their own political beliefs by satirizing Jesus’s teachings. Through this joke they not only attempt to legitimize their own beliefs by asserting that they are more in line with the teachings of Jesus, but they also attempt to overturn the religious legitimations of Republicans. They try to disprove the claim that the GOP is the “Christian party” by insinuating that Jesus would not agree with the Republican party’s emphasis on extreme individualism and the bootstrap ideology.

Bankman-Fried has claimed he also donated large amounts of money to Republicans through dark money channels. Bankman-Fried often donated to politicians who cultivate good Israel–United States relations.
xxx/ellauri265.html on line 439: At Heteronormal Academy, we are devotees of John Stuart Mill. We believe in laissez faire capitalism. I am a centrist, and if you remember your elementary school geometry class, that means I am right-adjacent, not left. I really think the Republicans are a center party.
xxx/ellauri380.html on line 338: Vuonna 2013 Loganin raportointi vuoden 2012 Benghazin hyökkäyksestä Afghanistanissa aiheutti merkittävää kiistaa asiavirheiden vuoksi, ja se peruttiin, mikä johti potkuihin. The “60 Minutes” story broadcast October 27 cast doubt on whether the Obama administration sent all possible help to try to save Stevens and his three colleagues. The story was then cited by congressional Republicans who have demanded to know why a military rescue was not attempted. Barack Obama repi siitä pelihousunsa ja tuli puhelinlankoja pitkin CBS:n pääkonttoriin. Logan jätti CBS:n vuonna 2018.
