Republicans are Anarchists

Whatever happened to the party of "Law and Order"?

Growing up during the Vietnam War, the Left was considered anti-government and the Right was pro-government. How times have changed.

Democrats are accused of becoming socialist because they support government rules to manage an orderly process in the governance of the country. At the same time, Republicans have become the party of removing government rules that manage orderly regulatory laws. They seem to prefer a lawless, "wild-west" approach to medical and financial approaches to the US economy.

So in the grand scheme of things, if Democrats are portrayed as the party of Socialism, then Republicans should be portrayed as Anarchists.

Anarchists support an anti-government society. That to me is certainly the mindset of the Republican party. Why have laws?

This push for an anti-government philosophy seems to have been pushed by right-wing extremists. It seems, looking at developments over the past several months, that Republicans accepted an opportunity to join groups opposed to Barack Obama. Whether the opposition is beneficial for the country seems secondary, the focus seems to be to oppose Obama at any cost.

Thus as an alliance of convenience in opposition to Obama, Republicans connected with these right-wings extremists. Is this the best for the country or just people with a grudge seems unclear. Similarly what is the connection with respect to the Republican party with the "Tea Party" movement and the rise of "militias".

So looking into the future, will Republicans become ever more polarized by continuing to promulgate an anti-government philosophy? Or will they distance themselves from the fringe splinter groups such as the "Tea Party".

Taking back government? Less taxes? What does this mean other than empty slogans. Perhaps someone can explain what taking back government means. Less taxes? Under Eisenhower and Kennedy the upper end of the tax rate was 92%, it is now somewhere around 35%. I do believe the US was not socialist under Eisenhower.

"Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society, or anarchy.[1][2] It seeks to diminish or even abolish authority in the conduct of human relations." [from Wikipedia]
